(Reuters) - With poles instead of broomsticks between their legs, competitors battle it out in a sport usually reserved for witches and wizards and described by one enthusiastic participant as "organised chaos". Instead of flying through the air on magical broomsticks, these competitors run around the pitch holding on tightly to their poles. Some 32 teams from across Britain took part in the weekend event, organised by QuidditchUK. "There is no one good Quidditch player. Some of the smallest girls, they can be incredible, and likewise you've got some stereotypical rugby guys who also will be really good," tournament organiser and quidditch player Beth Thompson said.
