Juniors Draw Uneven

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

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.

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.
