I would have thought the obvious answer is to stop adding match points onto house points and instead simply give a fixed number of house points to the winner.
For symmetry, though, that would require that academic points be fixed in some fashion. (Remember, a primary point is to get students to care about the academic half by linking it to sports.)

But academic points can’t be so obviously gamed.
