... tee hee ...

one strategy that I have seen employed to spice up interest
is for one team to secretly award their opponents a point when 
there is a turnover...

That is kind of like Rafi's suggestion.  In other words, 
it becomes easier for the 'weaker' team to score a point.

You could also do something like give the weaker team double
(or triple?) points if they score a point directly from the pull 
without a turnover.
