Joking aside, I do believe J.K. Rowling's intent was to impress upon readers that the game has so many confusing and contradicting rules that no Muggle could hope to understand it. She didn't spend much time trying to explain those 'rules'.

*shrug* The rest of the rules aren't too bad apart from the snitch one. That one appears to be purely designed so that there is always an easy copout to make HP the hero.
