Rules of Play

Starting lineup and tip-off
When play commences players line up as shown in Figure 9. The referee in the center of the field tosses the Quaffle up and the two Chasers in the starting circle attempt to tip it off to one of their team's Chasers. This is similar to the tip-off in basketball.

Restarting play after scoring
When a team scores a goal the quaffle is put back into play in the same fashion as the starting tip off.
