Team Requirements
Officials Requirement
To guarantee that all games are fairly played and regulated, every games needs officials. We are working on having a fair number of non-playing officials at the event, however there is always the possibility of things not going the ideal way.
Therefore we require each team to provide a certain number of officials to guarantee that each game can take place with at least the minimum required amount of officials.
As in each slot we have 6 pitches with games, meaning in every slot 12 teams will be actively playing, the remaining 12 teams in each slot need to be able to provide the officials for these games.
This leads to the following quota of officials every team must provide:
- 1 Head Referee
- 2 Assistant Referees
- 1 Flag/Snitch Referee
- 1 Flag/Snitch Runner
OR ALTERNATIVELY
- 3 Assistant Referees
- 2 Flag/Snitch Referees
- 1 Flag/Snitch Runner
This guarantees that even in the worst case scenario every team still gets to play all their games.
All officials must be certified under the current IQA 2022 Rulebook. You can get certified through the IQA here. Flag/Snitch Runners DO NOT have to be Flag/Snitch Referee certified! We have changed this requirement to allow more flexibility in the required replacement of the Flag/Snitch Runner by teams.
Every team must be able to provide a Flag/Snitch Runner at all times during the event. Meaning that if your dedicated runner drops out, gets injured or can no longer fulfill these duties, another person MUST fill their place.
In order to count towards the quota for your team, the dedicated people must fill out this form and must be listed on your team’s roster as either player or staff. They also have to be present on site at the event from the beginning of the very first slot until the end of the very last slot on both days of the event.
If you fail to fulfill this quota without having been granted an exception, your team will receive a yellow card at the start of EVERY game during the event. This card will be issued to the speaking captain of the team.
Should you have problems fulfilling this quota, please inform us at d2.volunteers@quidditcheurope.org
Pitch Volunteering
In addition to the officials quota, every team is required to leave behind 2 people after every game to fill the positions of timekeeper, scorekeeper and goal judge for the subsequent game at the pitch.
These people DO NOT have to sign up as pitch volunteers. The schedule will list your team and you are required to fill the positions with people.
The people dedicated for these positions MUST report to the pitch manager immediately at the end of your team’s game and are required remain at the pitch.
If your team fails to provide the required 2 people at any scheduled slot during the event or if any of these two people leave the pitch, thus causing a delay of the subsequent game at that pitch, your team will receive a yellow card at the start of THE NEXT game during the event. This card will be issued to the speaking captain of the team.
Check-In
The check-in for all your players and staffers will take place on Friday, April 28th, 2023.
Check in will take place at the following location:
“Le Pub” at 3 Place des Vosges, Epinal
Check in will open at 16:00 CEST.
We will keep check in open as late as possible to allow late arrivals to still check in.

- Every player must show ALL jerseys they intend on wearing during any games at the event to confirm numbers with the submitted roster.
- Last-minute changes in jersey numbers are possible, however restrictions apply!
- Team Staff do not need to show jersey(s) at check in.
- If they want to wear a team jersey during a game (i.e. while inside the player area) they MUST show all jerseys and the same restrictions on jersey numbers as for players apply.
- Team Staff will be given a dedicated “jersey” number at check-in for purposes of penalties during games.
- They will be informed about all details during check in.
- Any player that fails to show either ID or jersey(s) will be denied and they cannot check in until all required items are shown.
- Any team staff member who does not or fails to show their jersey(s) will not be allowed to wear any team jersey(s) while inside the player area.
