Porskoff Ploy

A Quidditch move by the Chaser who makes as if to dart upward with the Quaffle, drawing the opposing Chaser upwards, then dropping the Quaffle to another Chaser (QA10).

The Ploy was successfully performed by the Irish National Team during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup. Irish Chaser Troy lured Bulgarian Chaser Ivanova upwards before dropping the Quaffle to teammate Moran (GF8).
