British and Irish Quidditch League

Overview

Pro Quidditch in the UK is structured in the form of a Quidditch League System, or interconnected leagues for clubs in the UK. At the top, there is the British and Irish League which has the 13 major, premiere or top level clubs in the UK. Beneath this, there is a Reserve League and an amateur league for regional youth clubs.

The Reserve League consists of one or more affiliate clubs for each of the 13 top level franchises. Typically, the Reserve League is where lower level talent begins their career before being called up. The regional youth clubs are often locally supported and are an additional way for players who do not make the rosters at the other two levels to gain exposure and improve their talent.

Competition

During the course of the season (August-May), each team plays the others twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 24 games. Teams are ranked by total points and the team with the most points is crowned League Champions.

At the end of the season, there is also a League Cup, knock out tournament for top teams in the standings.
