Tai storms to a race win with the Poles trailing half a lap behind and setting for the minor places, and Cook nowhere. How we would all laugh when the Polish crowd go mental with their 'win'. YOU don't win with the minor places. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have another final as a run off and ad infinitum until you get a 4 - 2 or a 5 - 1? Why is it never clear and simple in speedway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Philip, you are normally correct but on this occasion not(page 26 of the SON rules) 3. If the scores are shared between the two teams taking part in the Race Offs heats 22 & 23. Final 2 heat 22 (Semi Final) and Final 2 heat 23 (Grand Final), the team taking 2nd and 3rd position will be considered the better place team.

Be suprised if there are more than 1500 in the crowd and why the hell Cook is riding is a complete mystery. The guy is out of his depth at international level. Stick Bewley in for experience, and if he fails Lambert can cover. Don't think there is any interest at all in this event, think you might be overestimating the crowd number too, overpriced, Tuesday night, no publicity, shambles from the word go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And expose it as a joke competition. Thankfully the rest of the world won't know about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted June 2, 2018 Why oh why have they made it so complicated, scoring 4 3 2 it would all be decided over 21 heats, any ties Involving the top 3 to be sorted by when they met each other in the heats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because it’s a “ made for TV “ competition and for that we need single race drama for it to be successful - building up to a climax. However it’s bound to end in tears with an exclusion in the final !!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I KNOW that but each race is 3/2/1/0. Bonus points only come in if there is a tie for semis. No different to a count back in the SGP. I have been told repeatedly (kept asking question) that the team taking first place in the final will be the winner. If it does prove to be the shambles some on here predict then its future will be seriously in doubt. We will know in eight days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest that you now can tell them they are wrong - after all it’s no difference to 4,3,2,0 - 2nd and 3rd beats 1st and last !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I agree with you, I think it depends on the type of event, this is a pairs event so should be suited accordingly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The FIM regulations are published and online for everyone to see. They will be adhered to without question. What on earth is the point in keeping asking the same daft question of people who are clearly giving you the wrong answer when the truth is written in 12 point black and white for anyone and everyone to read?
