Good morning GBHS. May your migraines be light and your regrets few.

Talented and handsome and beautiful and otherwise exceptional ladies and gents of the Ribbonfin and Coppertale quidditch and cheerleading teams, please do not forget to git on down to the photobooth of Azurcrest auteur, Micah St.Clair and make yourself a trading card.

I'll take a copy of each cuz like I'm pretty sure that these are going to be worth a lot of money someday??? And folks I have a future to worry about, I need some non-liquid assets for my portfolio. Promise I'm not putting together a creepy spank bank like that one Castillo found a while back, although if that's your joint, like, maybe get consent first but also you do you and find your happiness. Okay wow I am getting way off topic I should stop

keep it together lewis

SO YEAH. CARDS. Good luck tomorrow.

Pour one out for the brave souls who drank in our stead for the quidpong tournament last night. I think I almost got De Luca killed and I feel super bad.

So, like, anyway, I know I'm just Forever Reserve Lewis or whatever, but I was looking at the numbers and thinking, and we've really benefited this year from all the long, grueling games we've had. As much as it sucked sometimes, we're on top of the points bracket because of it. I compared averages and guys, honestly? Coppertale's chasers consistently outperform us and Reid's just un-fucking-believable their seeker is unstoppable [...] also a consistent overachiever and, my dudes and dudettes, it ain't a negligible difference. Their keeper's also weaker than Avery, though, so we have that advantage.

Maybe we should try to drag this one out? More points is better for the cup, anyway.

Obviously, like, if we go this route keeping Reid distracted and off the snitch is going to be super important.

I dunno. Thoughts?

[Warded to Reid]

Hey, good luck tomorrow. Looking forward to it. If I get in every bludger I send your way is sent with love I'll try to knock your block off. Promise.

[thx u to Manx for the math sorcery help with quid numbers]

If you're just looking at final scores, yeah, but once you break down the numbers and examine the factors causing those final scores it tells a way different story, Cap. My math cuts out the snitch and examines just chasers and keepers.

Ebonhide's averaging 12.4 goals per game, and Azurcrest has the weakest keeper, statistically. They could easily meet that 170, snitch or no snitch, if the game goes on long enough.

I just think keeping the snitch in play as long as possible is our best avenue, but I'll defer to you, Cap.

We're both only looking at certain mathematical factors. And no, Coppertale does have the weakest.

Statistically, the average score against Azurcrest is 140. The Average against Coppertale is 150. They're letting in 14.2 goals a game and Coppertale is letting in 14.6

We can't just look at certain numbers and base strategies off of them. If we want to confuse Reid to limit their chances of getting the Snitch, we should be having Holden confuse him. Our Beaters can't focus on the Chasers, other Beaters, and their Seeker all at once.
