yeah, i always looked at that and scratched my head. had to rewatch the scene and it makes even less sense.

the snitch is 150 points and must be caught to end the game. the big ball is what, 10 points? so you can put the big ball in a shitload and it's completely irrelevant.

a large part is the two extra balls that are shooting around on their own volition knocking people out. something tells me the LARPers don't include them.
