Slidan

Slidan is a wizarding sport played on sleds and to show off one's skills in the air. It is a very popular game in Oceania and other island nations.

The object of the game is to get the highest score. Each player starts with ten points. A perfect team score for any given events is 200.

History
Inspired by the ancient sport of volcano racing, magical beings were not limited to aiming their courses towards the water, as their Muggle counterparts were. Instead, magical beings would use the speed from the racing course to fling themselves into the air.

As spectators watched, athletes began performing tricks. Some would change their racing clothing in midair or slow themselves, others would shoot fireworks into the sky while still others would perform dances. The crowds cheered loudest for those they approved of and generally showered them with praise and gifts upon landing.

Over time, rules began to be applied, to ensure the noise of performances would not attract undue attraction. The necessity of this was made clear in 1898, when Maros Rho famously conjured a massive display of fireworks in the shape of an Antipodean Opaleye dragon. Unfortunately, this caught the attention of a real Antipodean Opaleye dragon who attempted to mate with the demonstration. As one can imagine, this led to much disarray and many uses of memory charms.

Rules
Slidan has teams of five. They compete by riding the sled on various courses in different environments. Control of the sled is essential not only for points, but also for a good jump. Spells to increase momentum are allowed, but points will be docked.

At the apex of the jump, the sled vanishes. Players are allowed to change their uniforms using magic, to be more attractive. They are also allowed to display dances and have certain, limited effects. Slowing their momentum is, of course, allowed, and points depend on the skill of their spells and impressiveness of their routine.

Overall judging in the end depends on the control of the sled, momentum and routine, as well as staying the landing.
