There's always a third choice -- hold the other player off the 
snitch.  If you can catch it, you are also in position to swat it 
away. As for Krum's injuries, if medi-wizards can repair all the 
injuries we've seen in HP, I think they ought to be able to handle a 
little swelling and a bloody nose.

I'm sticking with my theory that there has to be a yet-to-be-revealed 
reason why JKR wrote the scene this way instead of any number of 
other possibilities that would have been equally exciting.
