Quidditch without brooms! :D
From: http://www.wizardnews.com/story.200511101.html
Quidditch combines three games in one: ultimate Frisbee, dodge ball, and wild goose chase. Players pass the quaffle towards the goal hoops while trying to avoid the bludgers thrown randomly from the sidelines, as the two seekers try to stay out of everyone's way while chasing the snitch. Players hit by a bludger get a 30 second time out. Each quaffle score earns 25 points; the game ends when the snitch, worth 150 points, is captured. It is possible to capture the snitch and loose the game.
... Splash Bomb balls are great for bludgers-because they explode with water on contact, it's easy to determine who's been hit-and there is an extra incentive for dodging the water ball.
For the snitch, Elliot-Knaggs found an elegant solution: a rubber band-propelled flying helicopter-like toy that spans the length of a soccer field and descends in an erratic and unpredictable pattern.
This is so cool! I want to play!
Man, I miss sports. (hockey, in particular. And fencing.)
