The Porskoff Ploy was a Quidditch tactic named after Russian Chaser Petrova Porskoff. A Chaser flew straight upwards with the Quaffle in an attempt to make the opposing team's chasers follow him. Then, the Chaser with the Quaffle threw the ball directly down to a fellow Chaser below the opposing team's chasers. The move required pinpoint timing on the part of the Chasers.[1]
History[]
Troy used the Porskoff Ploy against Ivanova during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.[2]
During the play the Thimblerig Shuffle, one of the chasers flies above the others in a mock Porskoff Ploy, hoping to distract the opposing team into following them, leaving the chaser who actually has the quaffle open to score.[3]
