  Hey,
Im new and this is my first little contribution to this message board.
I've been reading about the plausibily of Quidditch and I've decided 
that this game could not really work. The part that I find the most 
disturbing is the amount of points given to a team for cataching the 
snitch.

Although this rare occasion did occur during the Quidditch World Cup 
I wouldn't be suprised if this was a first in World Cup history. Also 
there were very special circumstances that produced this occasion. 
Ireland had *much* stronger Chasers that allowed Ireland to get 16 
goals (I think) giving them 160 points. On top of that Bulgaria had a 
strong enough seeker to stall Ireland's seeker from catching the 
snitch for that long (using Wronski Feints). Also, I imagine that 
Krum is one of the few seekers that have so little faith in his team 
to get 2 goals in order for them to win.

I think that JKR should have made the reward for catching the snitch 
at around 50 so that Chasers would have a more important role (to 
keep their team at the most 40 points behind the other team). Also, 
as a side note, shouldn't all the point sums be divided by ten?
