“I don’t understand the motivation of saying that the Northwest doesn’t deserve a spot at World Cup or saying that the Northwest sucks. What are you trying to achieve? What is the purpose of attacking a brand new group of people who are trying to make quidditch happen where they live?”

[bludgertaps]

I don't think the Northwest suck. It's a developing region. But the fact that it's claiming 3 bids is way too much. There's no reason for a region with one (barely) WC quality team to get 3 bids. I mean ultimately it should be a moot point, I expect the two bids not going to Boise to get defered

I'm new to being a beater. Do you have any suggestions on how to be the very best? Thanks!

You gotta catch ‘em all.Sounds sarcastic, is relatively serious.

So I found the biggest troll blog in quidditch. It's pretty funny though. Just wait until you get to the rankings though (spoiler: CMU is apparently better than Tufts) http://themidriffofthatguyfromtexas.tumblr.com

Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship 2014: Championship Match

[quidkidd]

So it was 4 minutes into overtime, and Pitt was up 10. The winner of this game secures a bid to World Cup. I’m Madness’s 3rd string seeker, our 1st string was in play, and our 2nd string got hurt. I subbed in, got beat once, tagged up, jumped over a bludger, and then engaged with the snitch. And then this happened. I caught Jack Harver on a between-the-legs snitch grab. I’ve never been more proud of my own play in my life.
