Quidditch by the numbers

[alt_linus]

Well, today's Quidditch game certainly is demonstrating that forecasting strictly by the numbers is insufficient to the sport. Who could have predicted that it would be such a hard-fought contest already? Not I, certainly. There must be factors still to be discovered.

At least it will provide a wealth of data for further consideration. Oh, he's scored again. Well played, Cedric! Well played!

Note to self: Add "consideration of stressful aspects of having scouts among the onlookers." Wonder if it increases along logarithmic scale as term progresses? Cross-reference with timing of OWLs and NEWTs. Also parental attendance, when applicable?

Oi, Moon! This part of that Quidditch stats project you're doing with Cedric?

Sounds well interesting--how can you stay focused on stats though when it's such an exciting match?

There goes Pucey again! Come on, Zach, block him!
