Just a word on "points". Its a tall order to design an original event and then attempt to look forward into the future and figure out a balanced scoring design for an event that has never been run. There are so many variables that can come into play in a frame. We can't just cut and paste a scoring system from a past event as the side ratios, a/c, types of missions, terrain, ect can all be different. We do try but at some point the event simply has to go out the door as we do one every month.
As far as the setups themselves in many ways its the same dilemma. Sometimes one side or another will have an edge for any number of reasons. We always try and keep it balanced but its unlikely to ever be 100 percent fair. P-51s for both sides flying over Big Ocean would be even odds but not that interesting. 
Fly the event, have fun! (FSO Rule #1) and let the chips fall where they may. We all have good frames and bad.

...and one more thing, which I guess I'm bound to be aware of, since I maintain a spreadsheet to track it:
squad attendance. Just a few more pilots one way or the other can make a big difference, as we've all seen.
