Fight for the British and Irish League Cup on your childhood favorite Quidditch team!

R E C R U I T I N G
When a student leaves Hogwarts, there is the possibility he or she will be invited by one or multiple different professional Quidditch teams. Students that play at least one full Quidditch season (one season = three matches) on a House team is qualified to play professionally. Students that have proven to be successful Quidditch players (excellent roleplayers) will get more invitations from various teams than someone that wasn’t such a good quidditch player (so-so roleplayer). Captains of House teams will get the most invitations.

P A Y M E N T
Professional Quidditch players get paid very well: 500 sickles a match (win or lose), and an additional 1000 sickles of the first place winners of the British and Irish League. The team in second place receives an additional 750 sickles, and third place winners get an additional 500 sickles.
