Happy Hunter 361 Posted February 18, 2019 I see that the SCB are holding a series of Seminars for officials, including team managers. Presumably the 2019 Regulations will be considered but there is no sign of them on the SCB website yet. Does anyone know when they will be published? I need to know if the heat format has changed so that, if necessary, I can up date my score chart! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,399 Posted February 18, 2019 Yes. Time is running out. Only around 4 weeks until the first meetings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of time to drop in a rule that forces a re-declare of a team at crazy late notice and probably some biased addition to machinery that will line the pockets of an insider.

The heat format hasn't changed, and is the same across all 3 leagues. The only different heat format needed is for the new Supporters Cup competition, which is the old 13 heat format plus a heat 14 nominated by the supporters via a twitter vote, and heat 15 nominated by the team managers.

Brave new world but surely a twitter vote is grossly open to abuse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems voting will be open from the interval (after heat 10) via twitter. You don't have to be at the meeting to vote (so everyone in the country can nominate Poole's 2 lowest scorers for heat 14), then the team manager nominates for heat 15, choosing from everyone except those who were in heat 14. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also an interesting introduction "In the NDL, only a rider who is 18 years old and under may be absent for any reason providing 3 days notice is given." Reading this means that pre-arranged holidays, family BBQ's and other miscellaneous reasons do not qualify? Also including the inability to get time off work?

What i was getting at is where do riders over 18 stand? If they are missing for reasons other than injury or doubling up it looks like up to 3.00 point replacements?

That’s sounds like a suggestion from Jim Lawrence, the new SCB Chairman Nice to see some common sense being applied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
