they're LARPing that they're playing a witch's basketball/football game with flying broomsticks and flying golden wasp balls, but in real life, there's no flying and no contact.
they also LARP as women. no one should be surprised.
Quidditch even in the Harry Potter universe is heckin gay. Unless you run up a whopping score the only position that really matters is the seeker. It would be like if you played an entire basketball game and then at the end they released a mouse and each team has a dedicated mouse catcher and it's worth a hundred points to catch it. Add on top of that the indignity of carrying a broom between your legs because in real life flying broom sticks aren't a thing and every real life quidditch game should end with voluntary mass euthanasia.
yeah, i always looked at that and scratched my head. had to rewatch the scene and it makes even less sense.
the snitch is 150 points and must be caught to end the game. the big ball is what, 10 points? so you can put the big ball in a shitload and it's completely irrelevant.
a large part is the two extra balls that are shooting around on their own volition knocking people out. something tells me the LARPers don't include them.
this has nothing to do with JK and everything to do with the fact that they got a cease & desist from warner brothers. WB owns the trademark to "quidditch" and these leagues don't. they're getting shut down because they commit blatant trademark infringement, and can't call themselves "quidditch" anymore. but instead of being honest about it, they went all scorched earth trying to devalue the brand name.
they're a bunch of sore loser adultbabies LARPing a flying contact sport with no flying and no contact.
I'll suggest the name I shamelessly stole from someone else in the last such post: "Flying Adventurous Gaming Groups Of Talent"
Until they lose their broom riding, they get put on the level of stick horse riding or air guitar championships no matter how serious they try to be. When they lose their broom, just go play handball or netball or some other obscure such sport that already exists.
The sport of Quidditch got its name from Queerditch Marsh, the location of the first ever recorded game. A witch by the name of Gertie Keddle lived on the edge of the marsh around the year 1050 and recorded what she saw in a diary that survives to this day. - HP wikia
Queer ditch. I mean, the queers are definitely ditching her now.
what do you expect?

Yes, they want to change their name. No, it's not because of J.K.R comments.
It has to do with copyright and ability to fund the sport.
"sport"
I know...

No contact?
Do they even know anything about Quidditch?
