The document outlines the rules for an intramural quidditch league manager's meeting. It discusses the basic structure of games which consist of best of three matches played with six players each including chasers, beaters, a keeper and a seeker. Substitutions are allowed between games. Players can be temporarily knocked out by bludgers or falling off their broom and penalties may be given as yellow or red cards for fouls. The objective is for chasers to score goals by passing the quaffle through the hoop, while seekers aim to catch the snitch to end the game and earn additional points for their team.
