Each team consists of seven players who compete in four different positions: 3 chasers, 1 keeper, 2 Beater and 1 Seeker. These positions are clearly marked by different frontal ligaments. A successful snitch trap brings the team 30 points and ends the game, with the snitch being released 18 minutes after the start of the game.

The future of quadball
