WELCOME TO QUIDDITCH
Quidditch is a gender-integrated, full contact sport that was created
in 2005 by students at Middlebury College in Vermont. Though based
on the fictional sport from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, the real-
life version of the sport has come into its own, played by over 400
university and community teams across six continents.

                                    Quidditch has a unique
                                    set of rules that include
                                    elements from rugby,
                                    basketball, and dodgeball.
                                    All players must keep a
                                    broom between their legs
                                    at all times. A quidditch
                                    team consists of a roster
                                    of 21 athletes, six (or
                                    seven, depending on the
                                    game time) of whom
                                    are on the field at any
                                    one time. Each game
                                    is officiated by a group
                                    of referees. While the
                                    game can appear chaotic
                                    to the casual observer,
                                    quidditch is an exciting
                                    sport to watch and is
                                    even more fun to play.

HOW WE

PLAY
Three chasers play with a slightly        runner, a neutral athlete in a yellow
deflated volleyball, called the           uniform who uses any means to
“quaffle”. Their main objective is to     avoid capture. The snitch is worth

teammates, or kicking it. Each team
also has one keeper who defends
the hoops, in addition to performing                  which is inherently

      BIDDING

      OVERVIEW
      Quidditch Canada is seeking bids for its three major tournaments
      in each of the 2018-19 and 2019-2020 seasons. Both indoor and
      outdoor venues will be considered. Outdoor bids must include
      historical weather data.

                                Quidditch Canada encourages you to bid for multiple
                                weekends and multiple seasons at both indoor
                                and outdoor facilities. There is no priority given to
                                any geographic region (East/Central/West) for the
                                National Championship in any given season. The
                                Eastern and Western Regional Championship cannot
                                be held on the same weekend in any given season,
                                so flexibility with proposed dates is appreciated.

                                Quidditch Canada will prioritize awarding events
                                for the 2018-19 season by July 2018, and as such,
                                consideration for the 2019-20 season events may be
                                extended. However, if truly outstanding 2019-20 bids
                                are received within the initial timeframe, they will be
                                selected by July 2018 with no further opportunity
                                for additional bids. Details of this are provided in the
                                “Bid Submission Instructions” section on page 17.

Economic Impact:
Our tournaments provide a boost to the host city’s hospitality and food & bever-
age industries in particular. All of our tournaments have separate social events
planned by attending teams that are hosted at local bars and restaurants.
Quidditch Canada also welcomes local food vendors at its events. Most teams
stay two nights in the host city.

 city to allocate a representative for the city (political figure, local celebrity,
       etc.) to help open the tournament with a short welcome speech.
