Muggle version of Quidditch a great success

Mugglenet has this article about two libraries that faced each other in a muggle version of Quidditch, attracting a sizable crowd. The Fitchburg Finches from Massachusetts defeated the Sweetwater All Stars from Texas, 170-20, with the Golden snitch being caught at 20-20. The article says this on how the game was played:

Quidditch is basically three games rolled into one. The keeper, like the goalie in soccer, tries to stop the quaffle (ball) from going into the goal line. The chasers are players somewhat like forwards in hockey -- they are primarily used to shoot on goal to score points for the team. The chasers are protected by beaters, and the seekers try to catch the snitches. Catching the snitch awards the team 150 points and ends the game.
