Possible way of dealing with dead matches.

I wonder if it would be worth considering a tri nations type cup like the rugby. NZ/Aust/SA
each country host one country for 3 mach series. the leading team on table host the final which is a 3 match final. the followering year the away games switch over.

year one;
In NZ
NZ vs Aust.
In Aust.
Aust vs SA
In SA
SA vs NZ

year two
In NZ
NZ vs SA
In Aust
Aust vs NZ
In SA
SA vs Aust

back to year one and repeat.

I like this idea.
