Documents & Policies

The translations team at IQA have been busy at work and have recently released a new batch of translated tests. Tests are now available for the 2020 Rulebook in Brazilian Portuguese for Assistant and Snitch Referee positions. In addition, the Timekeeper and Scorekeeper test is now available in Spanish.

To take your referee tests, head to our Referee Hub.

Also recently completed is the translation of our latest Rulebook 2020-21 into French, in partnership with the French Quidditch Federation. We thank them and our French Team Lead Sasha Ribayrol for her work making this a reality. Great work!

As an international organisation, translations of important documents and the ability to tested for officiating positions in referee's native languages is a critical and ongoing project. We thank our translation volunteers for their work in making the IQA a more inclusive and accessible organisation for people from all over the world.

Translated tests for Assistant and Snitch Referee positions are now available in Brazilian Portuguese, along with the Rulebook now available in French

Translations Update

The IQA is sad to announce that Keegan Remy-Miller has stepped down as Gameplay Director. 

Keegan joined the IQA during the recent restructure of the operational side of the IQA, and began work right away on bringing the newly restructured organisation and gameplay department up to speed and working on new projects. Unfortunately due to a change in personal circumstances he has decided to step down. The IQA thanks Keegan for his work and look forward to working again with him in the future.

Pauline Raes has stepped in as Interim Gameplay Director, in addition to her duties as Events and Membership Services Director and Trustee.

More information regarding the recruitment process for filling this position is to come. Please watch our Volunteers Page for more details about this position and others within the IQA.

With the recent announcement of the IQA World Cup 2023 in Richmond,  the IQA has decided to open bids for the IQA Continental Games 2022. The  IQA events bid manual has been updated to include feedback from the IQA  BIPOC committee in the bid criteria and bid evaluation process.

We are aware of the continued uncertainty for the future related to  the current pandemic and we will continue to work closely with every NGB  and event partner to evaluate the feasibility of every competition. We  will be prioritizing the health and safety of our players, volunteers  and spectators. We also ask for information regarding COVID-19 measures  to be submitted in the bid package. Each event will be individually  evaluated on an ongoing basis during the planning process.

The IQA Continental Games 2022 consist of European Games and Pan American Games: 

The IQA European Games 2022 will have a 3-day competition, starting on Friday, with the finals played on Sunday.

The IQA Pan American Games 2022 will have a 2-day competition over the weekend, with the finals being played on Sunday.

Both events will have 2 days with team training opportunities and workshops prior to the competition.

The dates offered for the events should be between June 1st and August 31st.

All bids are due by September 30, 2021. The requirements are those  that would fit the ideal bid. If your bid does not meet all  requirements, we encourage you to still submit your bid. Should any of  the IQA Continental Games not receive a suitable bid, that event will  not be organised this season.

You can download the IQA Continental Games 2022 Bid Manual here, which contains all the information you need to prepare and complete your submission. 

Questions may be directed to the IQA Events and Membership Services Department through events@iqasport.org. 

With the recent announcement of the IQA World Cup 2023 in Richmond, the  IQA has decided to open bids for the IQA Continental Games 2022.

IQA Continental Games 2022 bidding

The  International Quidditch Association has decided to host the next IQA  World Cup in 2023 and has confirmed Richmond, Virginia, USA as the  chosen venue for the event.

The choice to host the event in 2023 was made primarily due to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the safety and athletic  preparation of national teams, as well as travel restrictions for our  members. With this decision, we also want to give our national governing  bodies sufficient time to return to play safely and plan to attend the  event.

The postponement of the event has given the IQA BIPOC  Committee—formed to gather feedback with regard to the safety,  accessibility, and inclusivity of IQA-hosted event—the opportunity to  engage with stakeholders to determine more specific event host selection  criteria sensitive to the needs and desires of all potential event  attendees.

After considering all the data and having a conversation with  Richmond Regional Tourism, the IQA BIPOC Committee has come to the  conclusion that Richmond, Virginia and more specifically Henrico County,  is an acceptable event site for IQA-hosted events. The committee  believes that Richmond, Virginia not only displayed the necessary  minimum criteria for a quidditch event of an international scale, but  sets a model that other event locations should look to meet in their  presentation of event bids.

More information about the work of the committee, the decision-making  process and recommendations can be found in this video presentation.  The presentation is also available to read through in English and Spanish.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with US Quidditch and Richmond Region Tourism.

With the IQA World Cup being held in 2023, we aim to host the IQA  Continental Games in 2022 and will open bidding for these events later  this month.

Questions about the IQA World Cup 2023 and the bidding process for  the Continental Games 2022 may be directed to Pauline Raes through events@iqasport.org.
