Supplemental context
Quadball developed from an adaptation of fictional Quidditch into a physical team sport with its own changing rules. Its history shows that fans can create a practice that becomes distinct from its fictional starting point. Future readers should preserve participant accounts and dated rules rather than infer real play from a fantasy story.
Creator/community: Xander Manshel, Alex Benepe and evolving player and organizer communities Place/era: Middlebury College, United States; modern sport began in 2005
Context and limits
Three hoops and a ball suggest the sport but do not establish regulation dimensions, spacing or a complete pitch. There is no flying equipment or actual match. The original fictional inspiration is acknowledged without treating the sport and literary property as identical.
