QUIDDITCH SPOILERS??
i think there's a 4 hour cap on qualifying games now, in case the seekers are incapacitated or just don't catch the snitch. whoever scored the most points at the end of 4 hours wins.
also, the qualifying for world cup is based on a cumulative win-loss point system instead of cumulative score. ex: 180-110 score today; pretending these are professional teams, gooseberry would win 2 points for winning plus an extra 1 point for winning by over 50 points but less than 100. 3 points total toward qualifying for QWC. ilvermorny wins 0 points. (these points might be different for americans since their snitch is worth 50 and not 150 by international rules) at the end of the 2 years, the 16 teams with the top points qualify for world cup. if two teams are tied on points, the team that caught the snitch the most often ranks higher.
