Well, I think you'd have to wait for either of them to get well and 
come back to play. Maybe that's what happened in the three-month-long 
match: both seekers received heavy bludgers to the head, and the first 
that was in any condition to play took three months to cure and get 
into any sort of condition to go back into play. By that time, I'd 
imagine that both teams were ready to forfeit the game anyway, so they 
might have *helped* him to catch the snitch.

Now, the problem would be if both seekers are *dead* - but then, the 
rule would allow them to be substituted, wouldn't it?

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf
