Hi all, bringing you a bit of a different kind of article today. The idea for this one comes from an article that featured in the Knowledge section of Guardian Sport in  the Guardian  a few months ago. The concept of the article looks at a hypothetical scenario in football where, instead of the familiar league structure, the Premier League organisers instead decided that the title of national champions would be passed on like a Championship Belt is in Boxing. Whoever beats the current 'belt' holders in a single match becomes the champion until they lose and the team that beats them is now the new champion (e.g. Manchester United are the current champions but if they lose to Chelsea then Chelsea become the new champions). Considering the history of the Premier League and the nature of football in which upsets happen frequently, the article created some interesting hypothetical scenarios so naturally it seemed like a good idea to apply this concept to quidditch. While the histor...

In the semi-final of January's European Qualifier Tournament (EQT), Three-time Northern Cup champions Velociraptors QC faced off against newly formed community team London QC, runners up at this season's Southern Cup. A new addition to the QUK calendar, EQT 2019 was a 12 team tournament comprising of 5 teams from the QUK North Region and 7 from the QUK South Region who battled it out for the 6 UK spots in the European Quidditch Cup (EQC) Division 1 tournament and 2 UK spots in the European Quidditch Cup Division 2 tournament which are to be held in May and April respectively. Having already secured their spots in EQC Division 1, London QC (LQC) and Velociraptors QC (Raptors) had their second encounter of the season following LQC's shock out of range win at Battle Royale III in October with the winner gaining a guaranteed first seed for EQC and a spot in the final to play Werewolves of London. Despite trailing by a 50 point margin at one point, Raptors leveled the season se...

Well, here goes nothing. To get the ball rolling, I'm gonna start TQ off with my thoughts on the Southern Cup Final 2018. Of the two UK regions, the Southern final has always been a much closer affair than any Northern final down the years and this season was a cross-city derby between London Quidditch Club (Abbreviated to LQC for the rest of this article) and Werewolves of London (Abbreviated to WoL for the rest of this article), widely regarded as two of the clear front runners for April's British Quidditch Cup. Naturally, this feels like a good way to begin this venture into the unknown.
