Middlebury Quidditch Team Does Not Qualify for World Cup
Middlebury’s Quidditch team did not do well enough in the Northeast Regional Championship this weekend to qualify for the Quidditch World Cup VI, which will be held on April 13-14, 2013 in Kissimmee, FL.
This came as a shock to many, as Middlebury has won every World Cup in history up to this date (five total), including a close World Cup last year. Middlebury had never even lost a game before last year’s World Cup. Here are some reactions on Twitter:

The fact that Middlebury didn’t make the cut changes everything. Pegging URochester, Stony Brook, and Vassar for the last 3 bids. #quidditch

Feel sorry for the teams who will never see Midd play. Hate them or love them, they were always exciting to watch. #quidditch

MiddBlog is in touch with the Quidditch team and will update this post when we get more details.
Inconceivable!
Sorry to hear about that – better luck for next year!
