Oh, I don't know, trying to knock someone off
their broom at 30 feet really doesn't sound like
it would only result in a "bruise".  When Harry
fell off his broom during the Hufflepuff game, it
wasn't just a few unpleasant minutes with some
medicine - he ended up in the hospital and that's
with some help to slow him down.  So these types
of injuries take people totally out of the game,
not just for a few minutes.

Besides, even in my world, I would consider it
cheating to even try to bruise someone.  It's
wrong to purposely go out and try to hurt
someone.  Period.  Degree of injury isn't a
justification.

(who agrees with Darrin regarding basketball and
fouls at the end of the game and thinks that
could be overcome when the person fouled in the
last 2 minutes gets the automatic 2 or 3 points
plus foul shots of equal value)
