rule nr 5
from Quidditch through the ages p.28:
In case of injury no substitution wil take place.
The team will play on without the injured player.

one can deduce from that rule, that only the playerd who are on the broom at the start of the game play the game and changes are not allowed,.
nasty rule incase the Snitch is not catched for days which has happened, think that info is somewhere in de Golblet of Fire.
