Chapter 85: Quidditch Improvement Plan II

Jon Hart continued: "It's the same with batsmen...... With such a small wooden club, without any magic, it was simply too difficult to aim at seven small, extremely fast targets on such a wide Quidditch pitch. ”

"According to my statistics, the average number of times a batsman successfully hits the opponent is only 4.3 times per game, you know, there are two batsmen on a team!" Jon shook his head helplessly: "So it is difficult for the two batsmen to play much in most games!"

"What about the Chaser?" Lady Hooch now began to look at Jon with eager eyes.

"Compared to the other three characters, the Chaser is relatively fair!" Jon paused, then continued, "But there is also a problem that I personally find more subjective, which is the lack of ornamental ......"

"In my own Quidditch matches, most of them are chasers, grabbing a Quaffle, then flying towards the opposing goal, then being bumped by the opposing chaser, losing possession, and then switching roles. ”

"In my opinion, this tactic is rather barbaric and unsightly...... So with the exception of the Gryffindor team, the chasers of the other three current houses are all strong, male students from the fifth grade and above. ”

After all, the wizarding world is still too small in number and too backward in terms of humanities, and the entertainment projects have hardly been developed and evolved...... Quidditch, a sport full of loopholes, has gone through hundreds of years of history and has not been optimized or changed.

On the contrary, in the case of "Muggle" sports such as football and basketball, the rules have changed over the past hundred years.

"Mr. Hart!" said Lady Hodge with a serious face, "Indeed, there are many problems with the centuries-old sport of Quidditch...... So I'm curious, do you have any suggestions?"

"That's the point!" Jon's look was shocked, "Indeed, I have some ideas of my own...... Of course, it's just shoddy advice. ”

"For example, for the goalkeeper, I would recommend setting up a protective area of about 12 yards...... Bludgers cannot fly into the protected area and threaten the goalkeeper, and the chaser must not invade the protected area when hitting the goal, and must do so outside the protected area...... This can effectively avoid the situation that the chaser can easily throw off the goalkeeper with high speed, and improve the role of the goalkeeper. ”

"In the case of batsmen, I propose that in addition to the bat, they should also be given a glove. Use the gloves to catch the Bludger, then fly closer to your opponent with the Bludger and attack with the bat. This makes the batsman more threatening!"

"For chasers, I think there should be a certain time limit for individuals to hold the Quaffle, such as seven seconds or five seconds, and of course there should be a corresponding prompt on the Quaffle...... Holding the ball for more than too long will result in a foul, which will force the pursuers to pass and play more together, rather than holding the ball with their heads down and rushing forward. ”

Mrs. Hodge took out her quill and began to record it.

"What about the Seeker?" she asked softly.

"I'd suggest removing the Seeker and the Golden Snitch!" Jon said with a serious expression.

A look of horror appeared on Mrs. Huoqi's face: "But...... If the Golden Snitch and Chaser are removed, how will you know when the game will end?"

"Buy a clock. Jon replied, "It's much fairer to play a game of a fixed length than a game that sometimes takes ten minutes, sometimes hours." For the audience, there will also be a lot less uncertainty in the timing. ”

"But the Golden Snitch is involved in the fine tradition of Quidditch, and the original Quidditch was designed to catch a flying bird (the predecessor of the Golden Snitch......)," Lady Hooch argued.

"That could cast a spell on the Golden Snitch...... Let it go around the course at a slower pace, and the time for a lap is fixed to be 60 or 90 minutes, and the end of the race is over...... Wouldn't that be contrary to good tradition?" Jon suggested.

"Makes sense!" Mrs. Hooch nodded excitedly.

She carefully took the parchment full of words, "I will ask Professor Dumbledore for advice and advice, in fact I also think that the rules of Quidditch need to be improved!"

"Thank you, ma'am!" Jon paused, "But...... I've always been a relatively low-key person, so if the project does take place, can I not make it public for the time being, but I made these suggestions?"

"Okay......" Mrs. Hodge looked at him in some surprise, "if you insist!"

Jon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
