Actually, when the little darting ball (the golden snitch) is
caught, the catching team is awarded 150 points (IIRC), and the
game ends.  So, it's possible that the other team may still win,
if they were far enough ahead.

Looks like I need to get a life, eh?

brooms and every kind of ball imaginable, playing Ground
Quidditch, and who is currently 1/2 way through The Goblet of
Fire with the same sons.)
