Art 16.1 of the Speedway Regulations states:

Fixtures shall take priority as follows:
FIM Speedway Grand Prix
Speedway Of Nations
Speedway Grand Prix Qualifying Meetings
FIM U21 World Speedway Championship Meetings
FIM Speedway European Championship
FIM Europe U21 Championship
British Championships (Senior, Junior)
BSPA Shared and Fee Events
Official Competitions: 1. SGB Premiership; 2. SGB Championship; 3. National Development League. (my emphasis)
NB. Non-Official Competitions have no priority over any of the above.

A Championship fixture should take priority over an NDL fixture at any time, regardless of when it was arranged. However it appears that this season an unwritten addition to Art 16.1 applies - 'the more important fixture shall take priority'.

That is subjective, but might be seen as commonsense. The precedent was set when Richard Lawson rode for Ipswich last Saturday so the Danny Phillips decision followed that precedent.

What should happen is that a 'Supplementary Regulation' be issued by the SCB clarifying that Play-Off fixtures take priority over other fixtures  - if that has been done it doesn't yet appear on the SCB website.

Yes but:-

16.1.1 Priority will be given to riders participating in the SGB Premiership League on Mondays
and Thursdays. Priority will be given to riders participating in the SGB Championship
League on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The regulation is in bold. So it seems that it's a case of "we know what the regulations says but if you shout loud enough we'll conveniently ignore it for you.

16.1.1 is in bold simply because it is a new regulation for 2019.

What about the new rules that aren't in the book yet, do they just leave that bit blank ? ;)
