Then, what balls are in Quidditch?

Five balls are in play during Quidditch matches: The Quaffle, which is a volleyball; three Bludgers, or dodgeballs; and the Snitch, a tennis ball. The Quaffle is used to score points, while the Bludgers are used to "knock out" other players temporarily.

Furthermore, what's the point of the other balls in Quidditch? A quaffle (the ball) through the hoop gets the scoring team 10 points. Catching the golden snitch gets the team 150 points and ends the game. Now if team A scores 170 points and team B is at 10, even if team B catches the snitch, team A would win the match.
