Something which has been bought up recently (Burnocaster, anyone?):

In terms of wit balance, the fair amount to add to the second team is 3 wits, if OML would consider the asymmetric setup:
P2 starting with 7 wits and P4 with 6.

T1 = Team 1, T2 = Team 2
2 bonus wit spaces per team

'Correct' but asymmetric setup - 2 wits extra to P2, 1 wit to P4

Code:

Turn           1   2   3   4   5   6

T1 Total Wits  5   5  10  10  16  16
T2 Total Wits  0   7   7  13  13  19

T1 Advantage  +5  -2  +3  -3  +3  -3

Current Imbalance

Code:

Turn           1   2   3   4   5   6   7

T1 Total Wits  5   5  10  10  16  16  22
T2 Total Wits  0   5   5  10  10  16  16

T1 Advantage  +5   0  +5   0  +6   0  +6

If for whatever reason the asymmetric setup is not appealing, adding 2 wits to Team 2 would be an improvement but would still leave FTA:

Proposed setup - 1 wit extra each for P2 and P4

Code:

Turn           1   2   3   4   5   6

T1 Total Wits  5   5  10  10  16  16
T2 Total Wits  0   6   6  12  12  18

T1 Advantage  +5  -1  +4  -2  +4  -2
