Iirc quadball had to quite radically alter the scoring and other rules?
As it makes no sense that the seeker just straight wins the game if they catch the snitch within an hour or two no matter how badly their team is losing.
Also also, the world cup. Viktor Krum ending the game on purpose “because he wanted to do it on his own terms”…!? Imagine a professional videogame player throwing a world cup because they want to get a frag, even though it’s still completely possible for them to win if he doesn’t throw and end the game. No matter how behind pro teams are they try.
But no Rowling has a chosen one in all matches as well and the sport makes zero sense in a sports sense in the books. Only there to serve to show how special some are.

















Viktor Krum might still be in school, but I’m talking about the Quidditch world cup that the Weasleys take Harry to.
In a school match at Hogwarts it might make sense for someone to not take it that seriously. Just like you get people surrendering in games like league and dota and whatnot. But can you ever imagine having professionals play for the world championship and just be like “nah I’m just gonna take this 1v5 because I can dive a kill there to improve my stats, ofc we’ll lose but the game is already lost so why even try”
Most of the people in Krums team were proper adult professional sports wizards and witches I think. Krum was just so good he made pro even while at still school. Similarly as how Harry just gets to be the
actionheroI mean “seeker” for the Gryffindors literally the first minute he flies a broom.
