As far as the major league divisional and league championship series are concerned, home field is determined by the won-loss record a team has for the regular season. However, a wildcard team is always seeded forth regardless of it's record. For the World Series, home field advantage is determined by which league won the All Star Game. If the National League won the All Star Game the National League team will have home field advantage in the World Series. If the American Leaegue won the All Star Game the American League team will have home field advantage in the World Series.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Oakland Athletics played in the 1988 World Series, the Dodgers had home field advantage. At that time, Major League Baseball rules provided that the home field advantage alternated between the American League and the National League. That practice continued until 2003, when MLB decided that the winner of the annual All Star game would be awarded home field advantage in the World Series.

During the first playoff games, home field advantage goes to the team who has the better win/loss record with the exception of the wild card team. Whichever team the wild card plays against will automatically have home field advantage because they are the division champions, even if the wild card team has a better win/loss record.

During the Fall Classic (World Series), however, home field advantage is decided by the All-Star Game. Whichever league (American or National) wins the All-Star Game, it will be the league that gets home field advantage for the Fall Classic. This is the single-most important reason the All-Star Game is played.

There is no home field, they are played at pre designated locations.

The location of the Super Bowl is chosen by the NFL well in advance, usually three to five years before the game. Cities place bids to host a Super Bowl and are evaluated in terms of stadium renovation and their ability to host.[28] The NFL owners then meet to make a selection on the site. On October 16, 2007, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suggested that a Super Bowl might be played in London, probably at Wembley Stadium.[29] The game has never been played in a region that lacks an NFL franchise; seven Super Bowls have been played in Los Angeles, but none since the Los Angeles Raiders and Los Angeles Rams relocated to Oakland and St. Louis respectively in 1995.

MLB decided to award home-field advantage in the World Series to the winner of the All-Star Game. Originally implemented as a two-year trial from 2003 to 2004, the practice has been extended indefinitely. The American League won every All-Star Game since this change until 2010 and thus has enjoyed home-field advantage from 2002, when it also had home-field advantage based on the alternating schedule, through 2009.

How is the mechanical advantage of a movable pulley determined?

The method to calculate mechanical advantage is easy to remember and is necessary when rigging the assembly to accomplish the job. The mechanical advantage of a rigging that will require upward pull can be determined by counting the number of rope lengths running between engaged pulleys and those doing the work. Likewise, if the assembly will require downward pull, count the ropes and subtract one to get the mechanical advantage number. The subtraction is necessary because with the fixed pulley, the downward pull equals the load on the other length of rope so the last "pull" rope does not provide any mechanical advantage.
