Not just the first line to try and make myself look right. The answer to your question, it depends upon a whole range of factors as can clearly be seen from the rules, quite complicated, but if you were a fan you'd get your head round it soon. Fortunately in speedway it's very very simple. It quite clearly states: "five points apiece if a match is drawn" case closed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do have trouble, especially when the lighting isn't quite up to scratch at some tracks. And when a rider has washed all his helmet covers in the same load and the white and yellows have faded 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy, you can do it on the fingers of one hand, unless you're Nicki Pedersen How is a new fan going to know the result of the first leg? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warwickshire (9 pts) drew with Nottinghamshire (5 pts) Blows your case closed wide open again.

Next you'll be telling us speedway races can only finish 3-0 and quote "3pts for a race win" and ignore all the rest. You're embarrassing yourself now severely unfortunately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps speedway should follow golf and make the lowest scorer the winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bavarian 765 Posted September 6, 2019 Your points system in British League speedway is well and truely unique. I don't like it. No other speedway league in the rest of the world needs such a complex points system. I'd recommend You to adopt the Polish League system as much as is possible. It is simple and it works perfectly well. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
