Muggles Compete In The Quidditch World Cup (VIDEO)

WATCH: Muggles Compete In The Quidditch World Cup

Hipsters and nerds gathered at the DeWitt Clinton Park in New York City this weekend to battle in the Quidditch World Cup.

Seekers, Snitch Runners and Chasers from forty-six teams competed for top prize in the Harry Potter spin-off sport, Quidditch (sans flying brooms).

What exactly does 'Muggle Quidditch' look like? As one participant put it:

Everyone runs around on broomsticks, and it's a crazy combination of dodgeball, flag football, rugby and maybe basketball? It involves a bunch of different magical balls. The snitch is a tennis ball inside of a sock tucked into a snitch runner's pants.

The rest of the rules are too dense to list, so for a better look at the games, the Daily News filed this video.
