Total Quadball.

Hi there, since their World Cup victory in 2016, I've quite enjoyed occasionally following the Australian quidditch scene. As someone who watches from afar many thousands of miles away, there seems to be obvious sporting talent and depth across all genders, a healthy yet determined competitive attitude towards the sport and what excites me most- unpredictability. Unlike quidditch played in the UK or in other European nations, there appears to be constant competition between a large amount of teams in Australia with multiple in-range games. Dropbears (Australian national team) players are spread across numerous teams rather than clustered in one or two 'super teams' which makes their national tournament (QUAFL) genuinely entertaining year after year. Now that film from the QUAFL 2018 Grand Final has become available (Thank you very much Ajantha Abey and Quidditch Australia!), I decided it was time to take a trip down under and have a stab at analysing some Aussie footage.
