The Daily Snitch--March 25
Disclaimer: The views expressed in this column are those of the author only and do not reflect the opinions of the IQA.
For the next three weeks, the Monday Snitch will preview one pool in addition to the normal Monday Snitch four times a week. For those of you good at math, this means that there will now be a Monday Snitch five times a week leading up to the World Cup, so a new name is in order. Starting today and until World Cup, this will be The Daily Snitch. If you have any questions about how teams will fare at the World Cup, send them to editorial@internationalquidditch.org and the Daily Snitch will tackle them.
