The date given here for the Quidditch World Cup final is derived from the actual calendar for August, 1994. Therefore it's not canon, but a reasonable assumption of when these events took place based on canon.

The worldwide popularity and playing of the game of Quidditch was closely monitored and analysed by the International Confederation of Wizards' Quidditch Committee. [1]No substitution of players is allowed throughout the game, even if a player is too injured or tired to continue to play. (Note: According to Goblet of Fire, during the Quidditch World Cup, at some point it lasted for days, and the players had to be switched out so that they could get some sleep). [1] Serbian: Златна скривалица (Zlatna skrivalica) ( skrivati se "to hide", literally "The little gold hider") Thereafter, it became customary to set frightened Snidgets loose during games. As a tribute to Bragge, 150 points were given to the team that caught the Snidget. This Snidget-catching craze naturally harmed the bird's population (as Snidgets are very fragile birds, and a simple human grip is enough to crush them to death), but the wizarding community was then unwilling to stop this barbaric activity and ceased to use Snidgets only when the bird was labelled as endangered.

This is a clear example of authorial intent defying logic. Rowling gave Gryffindor such a lopsided loss to highlight how integral Harry is to all aspects of the story. I just don’t think it aligns with the facts that were presented to the readers.
