Quad-ball Game (Quidditch)
Apr 15, 2023 22:30:29 #
We attended the match between Rochester University and Middlebury College in Conshohocken, PA today. Zach Sobel-Pressman (#53) is on the Rochester team; he's the grandson of close friends. I still don’t know the rules but it was a blast to watch. Here’s some information on the sport.

Here's a few of the photos - I put many more on Flickr for our friends to access.

Nice shots! I wonder if you drop your Quidditch stick if you have to sit out a penalty?

I saw an item in the Inquirer announcing the event. Loved seeing your action photos.

Interesting photos, Elliott. That’s a game I know less than nothing about.

Are the sticks used for anything else other than simulating the broomsticks of the players in the fictional version of the game? Looks like a rough and tumble game.

Great action set. I don't see the purpose of the stick, though.
On one end or the other, the stick needs either a horse head or broom bristles!!! I don't see them being effective without!!!

Thanks to all for viewing and commenting:

The broom stick must be kept between the legs, otherwise the participant is out (temporarily) - to be back in the game the person must get to their goal posts and touch one. So the stick generally requires being held by one hand and so only the other is free to catch/throw a ball.
