Well, From what I've gathered from the HP books and Movies I will tell you what I Know about Quidditch, I may be slightly wrong And miss stuff out but nvm that.
Team Need:

Chasers
progress up and down the pitch passing the Quaffle by hand amongst themselves while keeping it away from the other team, in an attempt to score goals by throwing it through one of their opponent's three goal hoops. basketball on broomsticks with six hoops"

Beaters:
Will Hit the Bludger, A Ball to the opposing team in an attempt to injure them or knock them off their brooms. They also stop the Bludger hitting their on Players. Btw they have BIG bats so don't argue with them.

Keeper
will protect the three goal hoops, in much the same way as a goalkeeper in football

Seeker, usually the lightest member of the team and equipped with the fastest broom, is charged with searching the pitch for, chasing down and eventually capturing, the elusive Golden Snitch. Seekers are the only players permitted to touch the Snitch.

Each team includes a captain, who may play any of the four roles. The captain helps the team practise and chooses the team players after the tryouts.

The Quaffle is spherical in shape (although it is shown with four large dimples in the films, appearing more as a tetrahedron), bright red in color, and approximately 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter, and about the weight of a soccer ball. It is explained in Quidditch Through the Ages that the Quaffle is enchanted to fall very slowly through the air when dropped to prevent players having to continuously dive to retrieve it. The backstory of Quidditch explains that the red color was instituted to create a stronger contrast between the Quaffle and mud. The Quaffle is also enchanted to make it easy to grip with only one hand.
Bludgers

The two Bludgers are big, hard, iron balls, approximately 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter. They are described as being bewitched to fly without any visible means of propulsion, although they do retain inertia, which makes them unable to change speed or direction swiftly. Their purpose in the game is to be an obstacle: they fly around attempting to hit players off their brooms indiscriminately. While it is possible to enchant them to seek out specific targets, as Dobby the house elf had done in Harry's second year,[HP2] it is illegal in the rules of the game.

The Golden Snitch, often referred to as simply the Snitch, is a small golden ball the approximate size of a walnut (roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter). In the films, the wings on the Snitch are gold, although in the books it is described as having silver wings. The winged Snitch is enchanted to hover and dart around the pitch, avoiding capture while remaining within the boundaries of the playing area. Each team has a designated Seeker (most seekers are the lightest, fastest, and smallest players on their team), whose only task is to capture the Snitch. The team who catches the Snitch scores 150 points, and strictly speaking, only the capture of the Snitch will end the game. (However Quidditch Through The Ages describes an instance in which the team captains agreed to end the game without the capture of the Snitch, as the game had gone on for several months, and the captains were unhappy with their respective Seekers' performance.) Games have been known to last for months, so it is of key importance to catch the Golden Snitch as quickly as possible. It is also explained in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that the Snitch has a "flesh memory", able to recall the first person who has touched it, and will respond only to the first person who caught it. This helps when there is a dispute about who caught the snitch first. Bowman Wright of Godric's Hollow was the first person to fashion a Golden Snitch, replacing the Golden Snidget bird, a magical creature resembling a hummingbird also mentioned in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was previously used in the game, but was replaced due to animal cruelty issues. No other player aside from the Seeker is allowed to touch the Snitch, and referees and Snitch makers wear gloves when handling them.

He means how you play quidditch on habbo. From what I've gathered is that you have a red pod chair for the quaffle, a yellow one for the snitch and two brown ones for the bludger, this means that everybody who plays quidditch needs rights to the quidditch pitch. Then you make to sortve ef goals, and you have the players, when the snitch is dropped in a person has to move the snitch about until the seeker of one team manages to sit in it. As for the quaffle well, you us that in the same way you would use an ef football pod, and as for the bludgers, well the beaters have to sit in it and try to move it in front of one of the opponents so they will sit in it, if they sit in it, then they are immobile for five secnds.
