It should be worth 5 points (half a goal, so it functions as a tiebreaker), but still end the game when caught. That way, the team in the lead is trying to catch it, and the team that's behind is trying to prevent the opposing seeker from catching it to buy time to close the gap. It's still important that way, you can't win the game without it, but the rest of the team is also contributing.
Plus, when there are positions on the team whose entire goal it is to beat the shit out of the other team, it makes sense that you'd want to split their focus between scoring points or ending the game. As-is, there's no reason a beater should be trying to do anything other than beat the shit out of the opposing seeker.
