Not to sound like a whiner, but I have noticed that 5 of the teams have 1 fewer home game than the other 5 teams. Did you know that the result of perhaps 7 games (a whopping 15% of the games played thus far) would have been reversed had the losing team had the home field advantage instead of being the away team? I am one of those teams with 6 home games. I actually have no problem with this *unless*: (1) I tie one or more teams in division with total win-loss record (2) I lose out in the first tie breaker (total points) by less 4 or less points to a team who had 7 home games (and thus got 2 bonus points that my team did not receive). The way things are going (in both divisions) this is not an improbable event. My proposed solution: teams with 6 home games get 2 extra points added to their total in the event that a tie-breaker is necessary.

This was overlooked when determining a home-and-away schedule for 10 teams over 13 weeks. I'm pulling this out of thin air, but what about having Week 14 be the balancing week, with the 5 teams with more home games playing AT the 5 teams with less home games? Should we match them up now, randomly, or seed them?
If this isn't feasible, then we should at the very least add those 2 missing points to YTD in the case of a tie-breaker.
The other equilizer would need to address the dispersal of Quid that is based on home-and-away schedules. This is a net +1 Quid if a team doesn't play enough home games.
