Understanding the Inter-House Quidditch Cup Standings

In previous years the Quidditch House Cup has been won based on how many wins each team has.

Canonically the Quidditch House Cup was won based on point difference.
To make the winning of the Quidditch House Cup transparent, fair, and representative of the efforts of the entire team, the following system has been devised:

1. Match Win

  • Winning Team: 10 points for the House that wins the match.
  • Losing Team: 0 points for the losing House.

2. Chasers/Keepers

  • Goal Points: Each goal is worth 1 point toward the team’s overall standing. 
  • Goals saved Points: The ratio of total goal attempts to actual goals saved is converted to a %
    • 70% and above = 4 points 
    • 45% and above = 2 points 
    • 35% and above = 1 point
  • This ensures that teams are rewarded for their offensive play and goal-scoring ability, even if they lose the match.

3. Seeker

  • Snitch Catch: The team that catches the Snitch earns an additional 5 points in the match.
  • The snitch catch may earn an additional 10 points (total 15) if the final catch was by the significantly less dominant seeker who caught up to take the final catch
    • Definition of significantly less dominant: Half or fewer catch attempts than the opposition seeker
  • Catching the Snitch can turn the tide of the game but shouldn’t overshadow a significant goal-scoring effort by the opposing team. This ensures the Snitch is important but not overwhelmingly so.

4. Beaters

  • Bludger Hits: 1 point for successful Bludger hits that are tactical and directly impact the game
  • Tactical Bludgerings:
    • The opposing seeker when diving for the snitch
    • The opposing chaser holding the quaffle
    • The opposing chaser shooting
    • The opposing chaser receiving a pass from either chaser or keeper
    • The opposing chaser when team chaser is trying to steal
    • The opposing keeper when team chaser is trying to score

5. Additional

Bonus for Dominant Performance: If a team wins by a margin of 100 points or more (before the Snitch catch), they get a bonus of 5 points toward their House standing.
