In the eternal words of HPMOR!Harry,

"And then whichever Seeker gets lucky swoops in and grabs the Snitch and makes everyone else's work moot. It's like someone took a real game and grafted on this pointless extra position so that you could be the Most Important Player without needing to really get involved or learn the rest of it. Who was the first Seeker, the King's idiot son who wanted to play Quidditch but couldn't understand the rules?"

I entirely agree that the seeker less variant is a more interesting participant sport. The seeker variant will probably be requested since it is canon, at least at first.

On the other hand, "keeping your eyes moving in a pattern" sounds like a thing that would be interesting for computer vision.
