Sure, but I’m one of the very few people in this thread that didn’t go in that direction so I’m not really sure why you’re directing that point at me.
Though I guess the main point would be that if the game can only end after someone catches the snitch, you’d still rather it be you than the other team.
In many sports, how much you lose by matters for certain things like rankings and such. Like say the other team has 160+ more points than you. Clearly your team is catastrophically terrible at the game to have ended up in that position. You’re probably not catching up.
Even if you have faith they could make 2 goals, there’s no real way to time catching the snitch at exactly the right moment, nor to make sure the other seeker doesn’t get it in that time.
So in general it’s probably better to put your team out of its misery and lose by 10 points rather than by over 300 points.
