Welp i hope this thread isn't anywhere. If so oh well XD I looked

Anywhoo check this website out:

http://www.internationalquidditch.org/

They have actual matches. I knew they were having people make teams and play against each other but I never knew it got this big. they just had a match not too far from where I live but I missed it sad

If only we all lived in the same place we could form an HE team! lol

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Tue Dec 07 2010, 04:49

I looooove the IQA! I was going to go to the World Cup this year because it was really close to where I live but I didn't have a ride. sad

Maybe next year! That'd be awesome if we could have a HE team. xD

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Tue Dec 07 2010, 10:12

Haha me and my friend "start" a team. XD She's not planning on playing but if I ever found enough people in my area who would play I would so take the team to the next step and try to get qualified into it and everything. Haha me and my friend came up with a name, the mascot and that's as far as we got. now we just need a logo and six more players lmao

I wonder if they record the matches for us to watch? Do you know if they did? if they did I would so watch them. it would be like the only sport I like. I wish my school had a quidditch team. I know they are having a match but it's just for fun not to actually make a team. I should start one though! If only I knew more people on campus lol

EDIT: A match between two colleges:

Yeah, a lot of them stream online I know. And you might occassionally find one on some obscure sport channel but I'm not sure if they still do that. Haha.

My school has a quidditch game every year. It's hilarious and tonsss of fun! Your school should start a teammm!

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Wed Dec 08 2010, 13:55

I should start one! I bet I could find enough people to join up here too bad I'm not social XD

I'm gonna have to find these videos! I finally found a sport I like!

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sat Dec 11 2010, 03:09

I had a look on there and apparently theres a team near me.

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sat Dec 11 2010, 06:58

Ooo! You should join Ellen!

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sat Dec 11 2010, 07:13

Its probaly the universitys team.

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sat Dec 11 2010, 08:00

Aww, well you should join as an honorary member. Quidditch World Cup Tournament 436937

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sat Dec 11 2010, 09:11

Also you have to be at least 18 years old to play. I read half of the rulebook XD It's only because there's a chance you might get hurt. It's the Keeper's fault! They can do whatever it takes the stop the chasers from scoring. They're like a human Bludger lol

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sat Dec 11 2010, 10:18

I'll create a junior team, okay I won't I'm pathetic at all sports

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sat Dec 11 2010, 10:21

Whattttt? Shouldn't it be 17? Seeing as that's the legal wizard adult? I SENSE A FLAW.

I'll just pretend I'm old enough and join one. xD

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sat Dec 11 2010, 17:41

Haha I think it's 18 because here in the United States it's when you're an adult and responsible for your own actions. So if you get hurt it's your own fault lol

If you created a junior team I can see them making you play with flags and stuff like they do with flag football, or soccer if you live outside of the United States

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sun Dec 12 2010, 07:40

Pshhh. We're all responsible wizards by age 17. Quidditch World Cup Tournament Devil

Those keepers must be pretty brutal if you gotta be 18 though. I should start a junior team for my area. We would CRUSH the opposition. xD

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sun Dec 12 2010, 12:16

Haha I watched this little like trailer thing for the game and it has keepers kicking the chasers in the face. I don't think they really do that in the game though but I briefly read over the rulebook and it said keepers can do anything to stop the Quaffle from going through the hoops so maybe they are kicking each other in the face XD

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sun Dec 12 2010, 12:22

Owwwwwww. I'd wanna be a Keeper then. Bwahahahaah!

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sun Dec 12 2010, 13:14

If I ever played it would be a cotton wool version. Like touch rugby.

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sun Dec 12 2010, 16:56

Hahaha, but wouldn't it be fun to be able to MURDER the opposition? *evil laugh*

As long as I'm now the one getting hurt. xD

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Mon Dec 13 2010, 10:11

But I don't believe in violence, apart from the sister quarrell stuff, that come in the job

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Mon Dec 13 2010, 13:08

But Quidditch is a violent sport! Over 700 fouls can be made! It'd be fun! xD

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Wed Dec 15 2010, 14:02

Haha but I think many of those involve a wand XD

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Thu Dec 16 2010, 09:26

I guess I won't be playing quidditch

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Thu Dec 16 2010, 13:00

Hahah, maybe they do involve a wand...but I has a wand. xD

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sat Jan 01 2011, 23:22

Haha I has a wand too. I made it but I stole the wood from a tree without asking for permission XD

So I wonder when the next match is. I need to go look!!!!!!!

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Sun Jan 02 2011, 09:00

Ooh I've got a wand to, it's at the back of the shed. Mum doesn't like sticks in the house.

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Wed Jan 05 2011, 22:04

Stupid distance, can someone erect a really tall post somewhere in america for me, I want to make a really big zip wire so I can go to all the cool things

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Thu Jan 06 2011, 15:18

Oh my gosh. This is insane! I would soooo want to be on a Quidditch team! Chaser (:
I wish they had some closer to me though D:

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Thu Jan 06 2011, 20:45

Well I think they do have games all over the world I just can't seem to find anything about it on this website. However I liked their page and seen them talking about an Ireland team so I would think they do this all over the world. There might be a match near you you just have to search

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Fri Jan 07 2011, 19:57

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are games that take place all over the place but it might be a completley different league...not really sure...

Subject: Re: Quidditch World Cup Tournament Fri Jan 07 2011, 20:16

I don't know either.

Well I got onto twitter today and the IQA people had tweeted something about an HP cruise! Here's the link:

Wouldn't it be freaking awesome to go!!! I wanna go but it'll never happen. If only I was rich lol

So Quidditch matches are starting.

Here's the schedule:
http://www.internationalquidditch.org/schedule.html

First match is on the 15th and I asked the IQA and they said they will have a livefeed of the match. So I look forward to seeing it, hopefully I can. I am uncertain of where they will be hosting the video out. I'm certain they will say on their facebook page. Also they have the schedule for the first match

https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=164040970302504#!/photo.php?fbid=1530251901381&set=o.164040970302504

If you don't have facebook ask and I'll upload it or something so that you can see it.

Also this month's Monthy Seer Magazine is out. Go here:

http://www.internationalquidditch.org/files/MonthlySeer_Jan2011.pdf

If you look around the site you can fill out an application and have the world cup come to your place. I'm not gonna fill it out because they're already are matches held near me... kinda lol

Also they have a youtube channel

And that's all I know. I'm gonna read the next edition and watch the matches (hopefully) and come back here. lol

There's now an app for the iPhone. Search Fan-jingo. Soon there might be one for Blackberry and android. YAY!
