Gobstones har organiserat lag och turneringar, både professionellt och hos Hogwarts.
Vi lärde oss först om detta från första utgåvan av Daily Prophet som JK Rowling hade skrivit för Bloomsburys officiella Harry Potter-fanklubb, som innehöll ett brev som hänvisade till det walisiska National Gobstones-laget och de är seger över Ungern.
GOBSTONES TOURNAMENT OVERLOOKED
Dear Sir,
As a member of the Welsh National Gobstones Team (...) I was surprised to see that the Daily Prophet did not cover our resounding triumph (...) I was most upset to learn that our victory was not deemed worthy of a single line in your paper.

OUR EDITOR WRITES
I am sorry to hear that you do not feel we give enough coverage to the game of Gobstones. The reason for this is that most wizards find it deeply boring.
I bok sex lär vi oss att Hogwarts hade ett Gobstones Team:
The picture showed a skinny girl of around fifteen. She was not pretty; she looked simultaneously cross and sullen, with heavy brows and a long, pallid face. Underneath the photograph was the caption: Eileen Prince, Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team.

Pottermore-artikeln på Gobstones heter även National Gobstone Association.
Professional Gobstone players compete in national leagues and international tournaments, but it remains a minority sport within the wizarding world, and does not enjoy a very 'cool' reputation, something its devotees tend to resent. Gobstones is most popular among very young wizards and witches, but they generally 'grow out' of the game, becoming more interested in Quidditch as they grow older. The National Gobstone Association has attempted recruitment campaigns such as 'Give Gobstones A Second Glance', although the choice of accompanying picture (current Gobstones World Champion Kevin Hopwood being squirted with an eyeful of gunk) was perhaps ill-chosen.
