How are byes accounted for?

Of course - any time there is uneven amount of games and there are byes it will be unfair - but at least this gives the so called better teams (higher ranked teams) the oppurtunity to set their destiny :-)

And whilst the lower teams can get a free ride (a free win) there is alot more satisfaction making the finals knowing you did it without a freebie.

In our social comp (in Melbourne) - in the case of uneven byes (which happens nearly every year). You get awarded a win, they try to give the extra bye to the lower teams (based on 2 grading games each year), but it dosn't always work out that way (although the 4 teams featuring in finals the season before will never get the extra bye).

I think I actually prefer this system though as it makes you win your games to make the finals/top of the ladder, especially if you are from top four the season before.

Im sure it has happened were a team has made the finals based on that free win/bye but I would say it would be less likely to occur.
