The Florida Quidditch Conference convened for a tournament in Sarasota College on February 5th, and University of Miami was the standout team of the day, winning every game and catching every snitch. 

A new team in the FQC, Florida Atlantic University, was present, and despite going 0-4 played extremely well and earned the admiration of all of the more veteran teams in attendance.
