I like the "home field" advantage rule. I have a similar rule in our local league but instead of the set # of points given it is based on the difference of the seeds of the two teams playing. For example we have 8 teams in our bracket. The 1 seed would play the 8 seed so the 1 seed would get 7(8-1) points. The 2 seed plays the 7 seed so the 2 seed gets 5(7-2) points. Etc etc. Teams work the whole regular season for such an advantage and they deserve since they've done well over 13 or so weeks.
