Since its foundation, QuadballUK has become vastly developing organisation as, after hosting the Summer Games[3] in August 2012, there was a massive growth of quadball teams throughout the country.
The 12 university places are distributed proportionately between the Northern and the Southern regions based on the number of teams competing in each.
Rankings at the university regionals and Community League fixtures are used to determine attendance priority if more than this number of teams apply to compete.
The first British Quidditch Cup (BQC) was held on 9–10 November 2013, at University Parks in Oxford, England[8] with 16 teams competing.
[4] The host team, Oxford's Radcliffe Chimeras, won the trophy, beating Avada Keeledavra[9] in the final with Bangor's Broken Broomsticks placing third.
The second BQC[10] was held at Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, Nottingham on 7–8 March 2015 and was won by Southampton Quidditch Club 1.
[11] From 2015 until 2019, QuadballUK ran the Northern and Southern Cups regional tournaments as singular 2 day fixtures at the start of the season which were open to any team that applied to play.
[12] The tournaments were used for qualify teams for EQC (spots were distributed equally between the two regions) and the British Quidditch Cup (spots were distributed proportionately to the number of teams competing in the region), with seeding for BQC also being based on the results of the tournaments.
The 2018/2019 season onwards saw top-teams from the South and North compete for 12 spots in a special European Qualifier Tournament (EQT) held in London.
The planned EQT that would have taken place in Cardiff to determine spots was canceled due to COVID fears.
Team UK's achievements included a win at the 2017 IQA European Games and numerous medal placements at other international tournaments.
Team UK's final tournament appearance was a 3rd place medal at the 2019 IQA European Games.
