I loved this video so much I found a way to add scores... Is it ok with you, verolynne, if I post it as a reply?

[verolynne]

@MrWally360 Awesome! Let's talk... I'll PM you.

[MemphisVinny]

Hey! thanks for posting - do you think you could add annotations keeping score?

[verolynne]

@MemphisVinny I will try to do something to that effect, or enlist the help of my team to do so... I have a lot of video that needs that treatment...

[verolynne]

@MemphisVinny Annotated. Do annotations like this work? Should they be done any differently? I should get one video done a day given my current workload.

@NaveRenragnipooh Oh really? Whoops then. Misheard. Well, either way, both teams are definitely really great.

@verukohp13 You do know that the "brass knuckle" statement was made by the commentators, not the officials, right? That's not what he was penalized for. Watch the foremost Middlebury chaser at about 3:00, and you'll see he seems to do something that ticks off the A&M beater (looks like punching to me). Also, look at the sideline ref immediately afterwards.

[verukohp13]

As much as I don't like them because they can be TOO aggressive, I love watching Texas A&M games especially with experienced teams like Middlebury. It shows that not all players a nerdy pudgy "virgins" and there are athletics and skill needed in Quidditch and this is shown here. I'd even compare them to Slytherin in the books in regard to their tactics, Middlebury too, what with that guy wearing brass knuckles.

[MrWally360]

@verolynne The annotations look great! Thanks for taking the time to do them.

@supersingerevan Actually lowering your shoulder is only mentioned under section 2.8 physical contact under charging. It is explicitly against the rules to lower your shoulder when charging. The only rules regarding tackling are it has to be in the peripheral of the person, not in the head, neck or groin, only one arm is used, possession of ball/going for a ball.

[supersingerevan]

@chaseher33 I agree with you on most points. But it is specifically against the rules to lower your shoulder when tackling. Like, that's a point that the 5th edition rulebook makes.

@chaseher33 it's a tough call. he might have just come off his broom after he snatched it.
