That's the problem with summer season when there are only four rounds where the hospitality is returned, but you can't really help that.

The biggest issue is not that. I know that scheduling is difficult and BSA need to maximise the games played at some stadiums they pay rent for regardless of the number of games played there.

People should be more concerned with why some teams have home games at non-home stadiums. From Round 11 (exclude North Div 1 who are playing home games at Mars):

U14GDiv 2: Sturt vs Mavs @ Marion
U14GDiv 3: Eagles vs Flames @ St Clair
U14GDiv 3: Eagles vs West @ St Clair
U16GDiv 2: Flames vs South @ Marion LC
U16GDiv 3: Flames vs West @ Dome
U16GDiv 3: Flames vs North @ Port
U18GDiv 2: North vs West @ Port (WTF?)
U18GDiv 2: North vs Flames @ Port
U12B 2: Mavs vs North @ Marion LC
U12B 3: Eagles vs Magic @ Port
U12B 3: Woodville vs Flames @ Port
U14B 2: Flames vs Panthers @ Marion LC
U14B 3: Tigers vs Sturt @ St Clair
U14B 3: Tigers vs North @ St Clair
U16B 2: Norwood vs South @ Wayville
U16B 2: Centrals vs Eagles @ Wayville (WTF?)
U16B 2: Sturt vs Mavs @ Marion
U16B 3: Norwood v Sturt @ Dome
U16B 3: South v North @ Dome
U16B 3: Eagles v Tigers @ Port
U16B 3: Flames v Eagles @ Port
U16B 3: Sturt v West @ Wayville
U16B 3: Cougars v Mavs @ Hillcrest
U16B 3: Cougars v Magic @ Port (WTF?)
U18B 2: Sturt vs Mavs @ Marion
U18B 3: Sturt vs West @ Marion
U18B 3: Flames v West @ Port (WTF?)
U18B 3: North v Tigers @ Port
U18B 3: Cougars v South @ Marion LC

Now I know Sturt probably play their overflow games at Marion LC, but there are four games there where the "home team" was playing away at the "away team's" stadium.

not every club has even amount of teams and home courts - ie norwood may have 30 home teams looking for a game saturday morning - but the 3 courts at marden can only take 15 games.

if your team has to qualify for finals by beating the bottom teams twice - wont matter you are only making up the numbers.

bsa have no idea who will be top or bottom when the draw is done - players come and go, new age group etc

The summer draw will always be "uneven" due to the number of games. You can't play each other twice.

IMO, home teams deserve a game at their home stadium, but it doesn't always happen due to stadium availability and number of teams. Marion LC was always setup as the overflow stadium and the Hillcrest situation has made things difficult.

The Cougars appear to get the pointy edge of the wedge due to Mars availability and I am still working out where Mavs home ground is.

Of all the games above, these four stand out as being "un-usual" in their programme where the away team is playing at their home stadium. Why not just call them the other way?

U18G 2: North vs West @ Port
U16B 2: Centrals vs Eagles @ Wayville
U16B 3: Cougars v Magic @ Port
U18B 3: Flames v West @ Port

but then if the top teams all play each other and the bottom teams play each other after one summer round when the draw is redone - the top teams all knock each other out and the bottom teams get easier games and would falsely represent how strong they stand.

rather play uneven amount of games,

one way you could do it would be the american way - with a "strength of schedule" influenced standing / ranking system.

if you play hard games - you get a higher strength of schedule and get a higher rank / standing rather than just win / loss ratio

pro / rel system that we have at present - top teams play each other all the time in top pool and lower teams play each other in lower pools.

so the answer here is - "pro / rel across the board"

i am betting the person that posted this is involved in division 1, possibly under 18 boys, before last friday there was 3 points between first and 6th, sturt, west and mavs on 25 forrestville on 24 norwood on 23 and tigers on 22.

big movers were the tigers who jumped norwood and forrestville by beating both teams in last two weeks, norwood has sturt this week so going to be tough for them. Forrestville look like they could sneak in as tigers face tough task in beating west at port adelaide in last round.

very close competition and finals wont be decided until last round.

the way i see it, if you havent beaten a top 4 team you dont deserve to be in the finals, better luck in winter

In this situation it is impossible to please all teams,good luck to anyone finding a solution in this matter.

Play promo/relo in Summer and you end up playing the same teams al lthe time.

BSA are a joke

Gravy train is a good descripton of an organisation who doesnt know where their next meal is coming from.

totally disagree -

play div 4 for 12 months - will play same 7-8 teams summer and winter. Never play div 3 or 5 teams

play pro rel in a pool and 16 teams in a divison in 3 pools continually changes and get even games as your pool is balanced on results - get to play div 3 and 5 teams as you are all in pools.
