My favorite sport to watch besides quidditch is American football. My favorite sport to play besides quidditch is Crew or Traveling Rings. I also like tennis, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and distance running.
I’ve been showing videos of Quidditch to the roommates all day. I’ve just been saying I was “going on trip” when I disappear all weekend to attend some Quidditch function or another then came the “you went to Florida for the weekend?” question. It does sound a little ridiculous from the outside. I…
You are amazing.
Quidditch World Cup
Team Starkid’s Joe Moses, Joe Walker, Joey Richter & Brian Rosenthal will be performing at the Quidditch World Cup Sunday April 14th at 2PM!
The quadro (sp?) will be performing comedy, music, and parody scenes from some of your favorite fandom franchises!
Following the performance, the cast will be available for a signing/ meet and greet with purchase of the special edition poster!
Available only at the QWC, Nick Lang is drawing a limited edition poster which, for $20, includes an autograph session with the cast!
Be there or be a mooogle!
Interesting idea, and actually we do have a video coming out soon with me and other league leadership explaining the plan further (although it is voiceovers, not pure video). I think if I were to record another video on top of that, I would want to film the sessions I have with teams at World Cup asking questions (and my answering them), to make the piece more conversational. I will talk to our World Cup video team and see if we can spare a camera person here and there just for that purpose! Thanks for sharing a great idea.
Thanks for reaching out! I appreciate that, especially since you are not even a player. That is so awesome that you drive your friends to games. I hope they are grateful for your support all the time! What team are your friends on?
I think most of the people who are upset don’t fully understand everything about the plan yet, and I don’t blame them - it’s a lot of information to absorb. I spoke about this plan in detail with around twenty teams in person prior to the release, and not one of them had any major problem with the plan - in fact many of those teams are defending the plan against critics right now. Perhaps sitting down and talking it out is easier than reading a report online.
Does your team want to talk to me more about this? If they are coming to World Cup, I’d love to set up a time to sit down and speak to them. If not, we can definitely do a skype date.
If they want to, they should email me at commissioner@internationalquidditch.org. I’d really like to hear all of their thoughts and try to answer any questions they have, so please tell them not to be shy!
Hi everyone,
As you may have already seen this weekend, the IQA has released it’s new membership program. Players have indicated loudly and clearly this year that they want quidditch to be treated more like a real sport, so the first step we are taking in that direction is setting up our membership plan and price like other sports leagues.
I know that some players have some questions or concerns about the new plan, and I’d love to talk to you and answer any questions you have. I’d also like to listen to your suggestions for improvement, although of course I can’t promise that any changes can be made.
If you are coming to World Cup, I’d be happy to talk to your whole team in person. Have your captain or president email me at commissioner@internationalquidditch.org and I’ll schedule a time over the weekend to sit down and talk to your team.
If you are not coming to World Cup, I’d be more than happy to schedule a skype call with your team. Email me at the same address above and we’ll schedule something, although I should warn you that I won’t be too available until after World Cup.
Thanks, and I can’t wait to see many of you in Kissimmee!
Brooms Up,
Alex
Today, the IQA released our Membership Program for the 2013-2014 season. We’ve had a lot of questions from players, on social media and via email, about the details of this program and what it means for their teams. We’ve been busy compiling these questions into an FAQ, which will be released…
