That seemed like a fairly obvious ending to me.  Ireland was by far 
the superior team, but Krum was by far the superior seeker.  So, if 
the snitch wasn't caught before the point difference surpassed 
150pts, giving Bulgaria the win, then Bulgaria would never catch up 
and Krum would still want to get the snitch before Ireland's seeker.
