Locations of the British Quidditch Cups

Qualification for the tournament is based on the two regional tournaments Northern and Southern Cup (for university teams) and the Community League (for community teams). Teams who do not qualify for the British Quadball Cup may instead participate in Development Cup.

Other regular tournaments not organised by QuadballUK also take place in the UK including the Highlander Cup held in Edinburgh, Cottonopolis held in Manchester and Scottish Cup held in St Andrews. There was also a tournament that ran for 6 years called Whiteknights held in Reading.

The following table shows a list of all British Quadball Cups to date. The team that caught the snitch is denoted with an asterisk. Up until 2019 both university and community quidditch teams played in the same tournament together. From 2022 and onwards they now compete separately.

Second tournament, March 2015 edit

The second British Quidditch Cup took place on 7–8 March 2015. After five location bids were submitted in May–June 2014, the location for the tournament was narrowed down to the venues proposed by the Loughborough Longshots, Nottingham Nightmares and Norwich Nifflers. After much deliberation, site visits and further communication, the organising committee accepted the bid put forward by the Nightmares, resulting in the 23 teams competing at Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, Nottingham.[4]

Seventh Tournament, April 2022 edit

Due to COVID-19, the planned British Quidditch Cup for 2020 was cancelled.[11] In addition plans to host an equivalent event to BQC in April 2021 were shelved due to it being deemed unsafe and impractical.[12] The seventh tournament took place on 9–10 April 2022 at the Sheffield Hallam Sports Centre in Sheffield.[13] This tournament was the first to use a new format and reduced total number of teams of 24 (down from 32). The new format saw university and community teams competing separately, as such 12 of the slots for the tournament were available for community teams and the other 12 slots were available for university teams. 8 of the university slots were available to teams in the Northern region, with the other 4 for teams in the Southern region. The tournament was an opt-in tournament for community teams, whereas for university teams qualification was determined via the final rankings in each region after all Northern and Southern fixtures.

During the actual tournament, 22 teams competed (11 university teams and 11 community teams). In each competition the teams were competed within 3 groups, two of four teams each and one of three teams, before proceeding to a knockout tournament. The structure was set-up such that each team was guaranteed at least two games each day and at least five across the whole tournament. This was done by having a three-team round robin for losing teams from the round of 16 knockout stage and a consolation bracket for losing teams from the quarter final stage on top of a 3rd place play-off.[14]

The winner of the university tournament was Southampton QC and the winner of the community tournament was Werewolves of London Firsts, with the results of the tournament as follows.[15][16][10]

University tournament edit

11 university teams competed across 3 groups before going into a knockout tournament. The university final was won by Southamptom QC against Exeter Eagles, coming down to both teams being one goal away from the set score of 130 before Southampton scored.

Community tournament edit

Werewolves of London Firsts won the community tournament, defeating London Quidditch Club in the final. After the full 45 minutes of game time in the final the teams were tied with 160 points each, both a single goal away from the winning overtime set score of 170 (Werewolves had caught the snitch earlier in the match). Under concern that the venue was already starting to kick the tournament out with the university final still yet to be played (and in an attempt to avoid going to tiebreakers for a final), it was decided to play two more minutes of golden goal during which Werewolves scored and won the tournament.[17]

plans to host an equivalent event to BQC in April 2021 were shelved due to it being deemed unsafe and impractical 12 The seventh tournament took place on 9 10 April 2022 at the Sheffield Hallam Sports Centre in Sheffield 13 This tournament was the first to use a new format and reduced total number of teams of 24 down from 32 The new format saw university and community teams competing separately as such 12 of the slots for the tournament were available for community teams and the other 12 slots were available for university teams 8 of the university slots were available to teams in the Northern region with the other 4 for teams in the Southern region The tournament was an opt in tournament for community teams whereas for university teams qualification was determined via the final rankings in each region after all Northern and Southern fixtures During the actual tournament 22 teams competed 11 university teams and 11 community teams In each competition the teams were competed within 3 groups two of four teams each and one of three teams before proceeding to a knockout tournament The structure was set up such that each team was guaranteed at least two games each day and at least five across the whole tournament This was done by having a three team round robin for losing teams from the round of 16 knockout stage and a consolation bracket for losing teams from the quarter final stage on top of a 3rd place play off 14 The winner of the university tournament was Southampton QC and the winner of the community tournament was Werewolves of London Firsts with the results of the tournament as follows 15 16 10 University tournament edit 11 university teams competed across 3 groups before going into a knockout tournament The university final was won by Southamptom QC against

tournament edit Werewolves of London Firsts won the community tournament defeating London Quidditch Club in the final After the full 45 minutes of game time in the final the teams were tied with 160 points each both a single goal away from the winning overtime set score of 170 Werewolves had caught the snitch earlier in the match Under concern that the venue was already starting to kick the tournament out with the university final still yet to be played and in an attempt to avoid going to tiebreakers for a final it was decided to play two more minutes of golden goal during which Werewolves scored and won the tournament 17 Group stage results edit Group 1 edit Team 1 Score Team 2 Game LengthWerewolves of London Firsts 130 10 London Unspeakables 19 21East Midlands Vipers 60 90
