3rd Match: Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor

[Sarah]

G-O
HEY, LETS GO
GO, GRYFFINDOR, GO!

[Cat]

Seeking some advice....

We’ve (Huff) currently got all three Slytherin Chasers on the floor.
Can I (beater) attack one now, before they are rescued, or do I have to wait for them to be back on broom?

Edit to clarify roles

[Jenny]

Good question. I thought you could attack any book in the current intact quaffle. Don't know if that helps, it is just an opinion. From someone who used to live in the land of cheese... Wisconsin. I am a cheesehead, so therefore should be trustworthy.

[Cat]

Answer from Tea, who admittedly might be biased, is that we have to wait till they are back on broom before we can attack...

So now I am circling ominously over the downed chaser!

What does the cheese say to the mirror? (view spoiler)[halloumi! (hide spoiler)]

[Elen]

Like Tea said in your thread, you can't go after a chaser who is already down - it like kicking someone who is on the ground and can't do anything to protect themselves.

I suspected as much, but am hyped from super early coffee, so was raring to go!
