Just one tiny, nitpick.  Isn't keeper the one position when it isn't 
necessary to have a really good broom?  I don't know how far apart 
the three baskets are at each end - but I would have thought that the 
keeper sticks close to one small area, doesn't need the same speed as 
the Chasers or Seeker, and if he is good, can tell which basket the 
chaser is going for and get there in plenty of time to cover it.
