Chapter Fifty-Eight: Let's Go to the World Cup?

"You don't even know what Quidditch is?" Fred, George, and Angelina exclaimed in unison.

Lovell:......

"I really don't know what Quidditch is."

Hearing Lovell's answer, the three of them thought it was reasonable, so they 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 a huge fan base and hundreds of Quidditch teams.

The Quidditch World Cup is a quadrennial celebration of the sport, with Quidditch teams from all over the world competing on behalf of their country or region.

"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, and the Scottish team won the qualifying round. ”

Registration for the next World Cup will open after the previous Quidditch World Cup has ended. After the registration deadline, all registered teams will be divided into sixteen teams to participate in the qualifying round – a process that will last two years, or three years when you add up the 12-month registration period.

During these two years, each team in the group plays the other teams in the group one by one, and the winner earns 2 points. In addition, if you score more than 150, 100 or 50 points, you can get an additional 5, 3 and 1 points respectively.

Fred also emphasised: "Unlike normal matches, the group stage is limited to four hours to prevent fatigue, and if the snitch is not caught after that time, the outcome of the game will be determined by the number of goals scored. ”

As for if two teams have the same number of points at the end of the group stage, the team that has caught the Snitch the most times and the least amount of time during the match will be ranked higher. At the end of the group stage, the top 16 teams from the 16 groups will qualify for the World Cup finals.

"This year, it was these sixteen teams who qualified for the finals." Angelina spread out the paper, flipped to the back page, and showed Lovell all the sixteen teams on it.

"The final is a normal game!" George explained the rules of the final to Lovell, "The sixteen teams that advance will be ranked according to the number of points they have earned in the group stage. The team with the most points will play the team with the fewest points, the team with the second most points will play the team with the second fewest points, and so on. Doing so would theoretically allow the two strongest teams in the qualifying stage to meet in the final. ”

Lovell nodded, understanding the rules of the World Cup.

"This year's finals will be held in Texas this summer." A hint of longing appeared on Fred's face, "I wonder if Mom and Dad can get tickets?" ”

George sighed: "It's difficult to estimate, and you don't know the situation at home." ”

Although the Weasleys are a rare pure-blood family in the wizarding world, unlike other pure-blood families, this family is so poor that it is simply incomprehensible.

Fred and George suddenly turned grimacing.

"Not necessarily," Angelina picked up the newspaper and stuffed it in front of the two of them, "It says that the ticket price of this World Cup will be greatly reduced compared to previous editions, and there are a lot of free tickets - although they are all tickets with not very good locations, but they are also tickets!" ”

"So it's possible to get a ticket at home?" The look on Fred's face was suddenly replaced by joy, he took the newspaper, read it carefully, and found that Angelina's words were true, and the tickets for this year's tournament were indeed easier to obtain than in previous years.

"If you like Quidditch so much, why don't you get two tickets to the World Cup yourself?" Lovell doesn't understand a little, since you like it, then go for it? It's like a wolf wants to eat rabbit meat, so go out and catch rabbits, stay at home and complain about not letting rabbit meat fall from the sky. Pinning their trust on their parents is also a way, and judging from what they said, it seems that Fred and George's parents are not very capable of doing this, so they can only work on their own.

Both Fred and George smiled wryly: How easy is it to get a ticket to a World Cup?

A ticket to the World Cup finals, ranging from a dozen Galleons to tens or hundreds of Galleons, which is something that a first-year freshman like them can afford?

It can be seen that Lovell still has no view 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 sensed the problem, but unlike Fred, she decided to fix it.

"Money? Is it the same small piece of gold that was made from before? Lovell remembered the two gold Galleons that Professor Dimmit had given him earlier, but they had been exchanged for books for Hermione.

"That's right, but it's just a kind of money, called Galleons or Golden Galleons......" Angelina patiently explained to Lovell what gold gallons, silver sico, and bronze nat were, and gave him a science about the purchasing power of these things.

This knowledge should have been instilled in Lovell a long time ago, but the person who took care of it was Dumbledore, this old man had a high level of magic, but he had never brought a child, so Lovell didn't even know some common sense.

With Angelina's science, Lovell understands the difficulty of getting a ticket.

"It's okay, there are quite a few ways to get tickets for free," Fred was always optimistic, "we can always get one or two, and it will be much easier for Dad." ”

The Weasley family only had Fred and George's father, Arthur Weasley, working outside the home to support the family, so the financial pressure was not small, and if Fred and George could solve the ticket problem on their own, it would also be able to share a large part of the pressure.

"If you get a ticket, how about we go to the World Cup together?" Listening to Fred's lively discussion, Lovell also wanted to see this grand event in the wizarding world. So it sent out an invitation to the two of them, hoping to go and see it with them.

Fred looked at Lovell and suddenly realized a question: this guy is a wolf, does a wolf not need a ticket to go in and watch the World Cup?

It's a question that only the organizer can answer, and the answer to that question is in the Daily Quidditch.
