As for why Rowling didn't include a free-for-all Wizard Duel instead of a mysterious maze, you'll have to ask her.

I think that's the point of the question: why not more spectacular tasks in the Triwizards Tournament? Where the audience could gamble, cheer, drink, eat, chat, and see some action on the field.

Sep 27, 2015 at 5:28	comment	added	Taladris		Not sure that answers the question. I had always wondered why people consider baseball entertaining. All the things you do around the field (chatting, eating, drinking,...), you can do it in better conditions somewhere else.

It was kind of like everyone just sitting around looking at an empty stadium for a few hours, and then the teams come out from the changing rooms and announce who won the game.
