Emily came to the end of her rant.... "I hope that makes some sense to you."
"Basically a game can last from a couple of hours to over a day... or a few days... so anything can happen really.
"Okay. I think I get it. The team catching the snitch wins, but only if the other team hasn't scored loads of points already. In that case, catching the snitch simply determines the end of the game?" Hmm, it was actually starting to make some sense.
