Quidditch!

I have just watched a game of Quidditch. I kid you not. It's really quite fabulous. Lena was the Snitch...she dresses up in gold and has wings as a headband. The Snitch is handled like Capture the Flag - he or she has a sock or flag tucked into the waistband and the Seekers must get it. The Snitch is able to run all around, off the pitch, so they're truly "seeking" the Snitch. And the other players run around with broomsticks between their legs, trying to score goals. Like basketball. But totally better.
The capture of the Snitch ends the game, but isn't a totally ludicrous number of points, so goal-scoring actually matters.
