All I originally said was that speedway was the only sport where you get more points as an away team for drawing than a home team...

LagutaRacingFan 1,919 Posted September 5, 2019 There should be a system similar to the NBA. The bottom club should get to pick any 2 riders they want out of the entire league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
