Another issue I'm considering... don't know how accurate it may be, is the home field advantage. It seems to play a bigger part than I think it should. Week after week, I look down the list of games and the vast majority seem to be won by the home team.

I could be wrong, it could just be my perception.


Just ran the numbers, it looks like you're on to something. Which surprises me, because I didn't give much of an advantage. I'll check it out.

BTW, the actual number is 65% in MFN-1, which it should be closer to 55%. On a test league I have simming all day long every day, it's almost 70%. So yeah, definitely needs looking at.
