<strong>To mtw,
I also have to agree with Scott that a half dozen of you who feel strongly about this issue can't be taken as a "sizable percentage of the community". I understand you feel strongly about it - but before Markus seriously considers anything, I would want to know that the "majority" of people felt that way. And besides, since it's Markus' creation - he has a "veto" available simply on the fact it belongs to him

Further, I also tried to make clear that I wasn't in favor of a home field advantage so much as I wanted the artificial "anti-6+ game winning streak factor" (thanks to ScottVib for the clarification) eliminated. I don't particularly care about home field advantage, but I'd rather have that than the purely arbitrary "anti-6+ game win streak" factor.
BTW--My guess is that if the OOTP users were polled, you'd find that there are a good number who feel that home field advantage would be an appropriate factor for the game. I don't know if it would be more than 50%, but I'd bet it's more than a few.
