2017 Quidditch Premier League season


The 2017 Quidditch Premier League season was the league's first, and was contested by eight teams over the course of the 2017 summer. The eight teams were split into two divisions, with the North Division composed of the Northern Watch, Yorkshire Roses, East Midlands Archers, and West Midlands Revolution, and the South Division composed of the London Monarchs, Southeast Knights, Southwest Broadside, and Eastern Mermaids.
During the regular season, each division held three 'fixtures', which saw each team in that division attend and participate in round robin games. In total, teams played 12 games each during the regular season, with a total of 36 games played in total. Based on the results of those fixtures, the teams were seeded for the QPL Championship, which all eight qualified for. The championship was decided with a series of double-elimination matches, with eliminated teams going on to contest the lower places of the standings.
