Top 4 in the semi's or top 2 straight to the final is the only way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluenose 74 Posted November 17, 2018 Good Idea robin les = No it would be simple to pool all the semi-final & final income & divide on a % basis between the 3 teams. What about this ??? ...................................................( don,t laugh) Top 3 to play-offs. week 1 P/O match 1 1st place team versus 3rd place team week 2 P/O match 2 2nd place team versus 3rd place team week 3 P/O match 3 1st place team versus 2nd place team Usual points awarded as in the league. So the 1st placed team gets 2 home matches,2nd gets 1 home match and the 3rd place gets a chance to get some real glory !!! 3 weeks on BT, i think it would be good to watch with teams trying to get the extra point ! I AGREE 4 teams in the play offs is Naff,and also the play offs would be like the standard league match with T Subs (got to standardise Speedway rules) the league does not use aggregate scores in the regular season. Again don,t laugh !! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again don,t laugh !! I actually quite like that. I would have it as total points scored in the 3 meetings qualify for the final. Really do like that, the team that finishes top doesn't lose out on revenue and can still run the risk of not making the Grand Final. from me 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

INCOGNITO 357 Posted November 19, 2018 Maybe the fairest way is top four into a play off league where each team rides each other home and away where it's 2 points for a win, one for a draw and 0 for a loss. At the start of these matches, top starts with 3 points, second with 2 points and third one point giving a reward to those that have done better up til these meetings.

The points difference over the 2 home and away league meetings between the 2 sides is carried over to the Ultimate Final at a neutral venue. The cap for the points difference is 15 points. Would it add and would the 2 clubs supporters turn up. Do we want easy rules to understand or stuff like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOBODY 538 Posted November 20, 2018 I know... Have a play off match every week home then away with all meagre 7 clubs and the team that finishes with the most points by October are the champions. Simples....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyderd 1,216 Posted December 9, 2018 As much as I think that whoever finishes top should be crowned champions, the truth is, leave it as it is as it makes good money for the teams competing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
