Calories burned by unlisted exercise

For obvious reasons, quidditch is not listed in the MFP database, except for the clearly miscalculated entry I made. The way we play it according to the IQA rules is like a cross between soccer, dodgeball and tag, so how do I figure out how much it burns?

    The best way would be to get a heart rate monitor if you really want to be as close to accurate as possible.

    Incant 'calculatum calorieburnum' before the match and then 'exercisio finitum' after you're done.

    ...or you could use a heart rate monitor that estimates calorie burn based on your exertion level & time, but that might violate the IQA rules.

    Yeah... I'm a college student and I'm so broke I can't even afford a broom to play on right now. Heart rate monitor's not really in the budget.
