eleven rounds. In case of a tie during the chess game, the person who
scores the most points in the boxing match wins.

dog gets a free ride. Most competitions take place in California, since

Using long hockey sticks wouldn't be beneficial, so the players use a
much shorter kind. An important detail is that this is a non-contact
sport

Everyone knows Quidditch as a sport played on flying brooms in the Harry Potter universe. But in the real life version, players pretend to fly on a broom and attempt to throw the balls through round hoops.
