except that the golden snitch doesnt mean you win. it means you get 150 points and the match ends. sure, that often leads to a win unless the enemy has a 150 point lead, but still.
Also, apparently in the school cup the overall score seems to be counted to overall results - not just win/loss. Isn't there a point when Harry needs to make sure he only catches the Snitch if they are in a lead by at least certain ammount of points to win the cup? One could assume this applies to leagues as well.
Not that it balances things much, but it does give a bit of nuance.
Either way, while the match only ending if the snitch is caught is a great concept, it probably shouldn't be worth fifteen goals worth of points. Fifty points, or even just thirty, for the snitch would add more strategy to the game since it might be best to deny the other team the snitch without catching it yourself if the other team is ahead.
I do remember there was a game were they grab the snitch and STILL lost, because the other side was 10 points ahead
That was a weird one and I never got why anyone would do this. On a World Cup finale no less
