During the many years that it has existed, Quidditch has fascinated witches and wizards alike. Whether they enjoy taking part in the rough and brutal sport or simply enjoy watching it from the comfort and security of the stands, it is a sport that is loved on both the national and international stages. The international stage is by far the grandest though and the International Quidditch League has devoted themselves to making sure that it remains as such.
The Quidditch World Cup consists of two different parts. The first part is just standard league play where all of the teams play against each other and their records will control their position in the standings. The second part is the finals where the top teams from league play will compete against each other for the coveted World Cup and the prestige of being the best team around.
The 2008 - 2009 season is just about to get underway and the teams that seem to be stirring up the most interest at the moment are the Irish Sidhe, the Japanese Kamitsu, the Spanish Snidgets, and the USA Foundry. Who will come out on top at the end of the season? There is no way of knowing until it is over but that is half the fun is it not?
