"You don't know what Quidditch is?" Fred, George and Angelina exclaimed in unison.
Lovell:…
"I really don't know what Quidditch is."
After hearing Lovell's answer, the three of them thought it was reasonable, so they excitedly explained the rules of Quidditch to Lovell.
Through Fred's explanation, Lovell learned that Quidditch is a very popular sport in the wizarding world, with many fans and hundreds of Quidditch teams.
The Quidditch World Cup is a carnival held every four years in this sport. Quidditch teams from all over the world will represent their countries or regions in the competition.
"So what do you mean by Scotland qualifying? Did Scotland win the World Cup?"
"No, no, no!" Fred stretched out his index finger and shook his head like a rattle, "The World Cup is divided into two stages, the qualifying round and the final. The Scottish team won the qualifying round."
After the last Quidditch World Cup ends, registration for the next World Cup will begin. After the registration deadline, all registered teams will be divided into sixteen groups to participate in the qualifying rounds - this process will last two days.
Years, including the twelve months of registration, that’s three years.
In these two years, each team in the group will play against other teams in the group one by one. The winning team will score 2 points. In addition, if the score exceeds 150 points, 100 points or 50 points,
points, you can get an additional 5 points, 3 points and 1 point respectively.
Fred also emphasized: "Unlike ordinary games, in order to prevent player fatigue, the game time in the group stage is limited to four hours. If after this time, the snitch is still not caught, the game will be over.
The result will be decided solely on goals scored."
As for if two teams have the same points after the group stage, then the team that caught the most snitches and took the least time during the game will be ranked higher. At the end of the group stage, the sixteenth team ranked first among the sixteen groups will
One team will advance to the World Cup finals.
"This year, these sixteen teams have advanced to the finals." Angelina opened the newspaper, turned to a page at the back, and showed Lovell all the sixteen qualifying teams.
.
"The final is a normal game!" George was responsible for explaining the rules to Lovell. "The sixteen advancing teams will be ranked according to the number of points they obtained in the group stage. The team with the most points will compete with the team with the least points.
In team competitions, the team with the second most points will play against the team with the second fewest points, and so on. This can theoretically allow the two strongest teams in the qualifying stage to meet in the finals.
"
Lovell nodded, understanding the rules of the World Cup.
"This year's finals will be held in Texas, USA this summer." A trace of longing appeared on Fred's face, "I wonder if mom and dad can get tickets?"
George sighed: "It's probably difficult. It's not like you don't know the situation at home."
Although the Weasley family is a rare pure-blood family in the wizarding world, unlike other pure-blood families who are wealthy, this family is so poor that it is simply puzzling.
Fred and George suddenly looked sad.
"Not necessarily," Angelina picked up the newspaper and pushed it in front of the two of them. "It said that the ticket prices for this World Cup will be significantly lower than previous ones, and there will be many free tickets - although they are all in different locations.
A great ticket, but it’s still a ticket!”
"Does that mean it's possible for the family to get tickets?" The expression on Fred's face was suddenly replaced by joy. He took the newspaper and read it carefully, and found that what Angelina said was true. This year's election
Tickets are indeed easier to obtain than in previous years.
"If you like Quidditch so much, why don't you get two tickets for the World Cup?" Lovell didn't understand. If you like it, then pursue it? Just like a wolf wants to eat rabbit meat, then go out.
Catching rabbits and complaining all the time at home will not make rabbit meat fall from the sky. Placing your trust in your parents is also a way, but judging from what they said, it seems that Fred and George’s parents are not very able to bear this, then
You can only work hard on your own.
Fred and George both laughed bitterly: How easy is it to get a ticket for the World Cup?
A ticket to the World Cup finals can cost as little as a dozen Galleons, or as much as dozens or hundreds of Galleons. How can first-year students like them afford it?
It can be seen that Lovell still has no concept of money! Fred and George looked at each other and discovered the source of the problem.
"Wolf Wolf, do you know what 'money' is?" Angelina also noticed the problem, but unlike Fred and the others, she decided to solve the problem.
"Money? Is it the small piece of gold like before?" Lovell thought of the two gold galleons that Professor Dimitri gave it before, but these two galleons had been exchanged for Hermione.
's book.
"That's right, but it's just a type of money, called Galleons or Gold Galleons..." Angelina patiently explained to Lovell what Gold Galleons, Silver Sickles, and Copper Nuts were, and
By the way, I gave him some knowledge about the purchasing power of these things.
Someone should have instilled this knowledge into Lovell a long time ago, but the person who took care of it was Dumbledore. Although this old man had a high level of magic, he had never taken care of a child, so Lovell didn't even know some common sense.
.
With Angelina's knowledge, Lovell finally understood the difficulty of getting a ticket.
"Fortunately, there are quite a few ways to get tickets for free on the Internet," Fred was always so optimistic. "We can always get one or two. That will make it easier for Dad."
In the Weasley family, only Fred and George's father, Arthur Weasley, works outside the home to support the family, so the financial pressure is not small. If Fred and George can solve the ticket problem themselves, they can share a lot of the pressure.
"If you get the tickets, how about we go to the World Cup together?" Listening to the heated discussion between Fred and the others, Lovell also wanted to see this grand event in the magical world. So it sent the message to the two of them.
Invitation, hope to go see it with them.
Fred looked at Lovell and suddenly realized a question: This guy is a wolf. Can wolves enter the World Cup without tickets?
This is a question that only the organizer can answer, and the answer to the question is in the "Daily Quidditch".
