Professional Quidditch

I've looked in the Lexicon and in Quidditch Through the Ages and can't
find the answers to some questions about Professional Quidditch, so I
thought I'd call on the collective knowledge/wisdom of this group to
see if anyone has any good ideas.

1. What time of the year are regular team tryouts held? Or do the
recruiters just make offers to players on school teams without a
tryout? Are there any "farm team" or non-pro teams that might compete
with the Hogwarts students for spots on the pro teams?

2. How long is a "season?" Do they play year-round or just during the
Autumn through Spring like the teams at Hogwarts? When would training
begin/end?

3. How many matches would be played in a "season?"

4. When is the "National Cup" awarded?

5. When would players try out and/or be named to the national team
vying for the World Cup?

That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to add to the questions
as well as the answers.

Thanks!
