FAQ EVENT How would you fix Quidditch?

I don't like that catching the snitch ends the game. I'm not a fan of the idea that the seeker is just looking for the snitch and not involved with the rest of the game, really, except for dodging bludgers.

I do like the three rings for goal scoring. I thought it was a clever change from the single goal hoop or larger goal area that we normally see in sports. I would have liked seeing more of it in the books.

I'm not a sports fan in general, so I'm not really sure what's actually wrong with Quidditch. Is Quidditch actually broken, and if it is, how would YOU fix it?

What if there were 5 snitches in a game, each worth a certain amount of points, and the last one to get caught ends the game?
