==History==
As a freshman in college who was bored by his Sunday routine of playing bocce ball, Alex wanted to try something new. He and his colleagues began outlining the guidelines of a sport. They combined rules derived from lacrosse, dodgeball, and rugby in order to create a rule book containing the guidelines followed in Quidditch matches today. In October 2005, the first Quidditch game was played at Battell Beach in Middlebury, Vermont. Around 30 players showed up to play the game. In 2007, the first Quidditch World Cup was played between Middlebury college and Vassar College. By this time, Quidditch had become the most popular club on campus at Middlebury College. In 2008, students took a spring break road trip to see Quidditch played at six college campuses in the Mid-Atlantic. This trip was aired on MTV, increasing interest in the game. The third World Cup took place in October 2009 with 2,000 spectators and 21 teams which made it the biggest tournament to date.
