screm 8,057 Posted September 5, 2020 Wholeheartedly agree with Philip Rising in his In My View feature in this week's Speedway Star regarding the new scoring system for SGP, as he says change for the sake of change is never a good idea. Hopefully the FIM will see the error of their ways and revert to the way we are used to for 2021. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After the game, the Czech FA announced the team would not be facing the Scots "due to representatives' decision and the current situation with the Covid-19". The statement added: "The national team ends current preparations with the immediate effect straight after the win against Slovakia." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenryW 1,178 Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Bavarian said: Why would it have been called off ? Members of the squad and a backroom staff member tested positive for the virus. Czech FA wanted to postpone. UEFA said no. Czechia sound like they will now be using a reserve squad and staff on Monday. Edit - Actually the report I read about players testing positive seems wrong. They are just self isolating after being in contact with the staff member who was positive. Edited September 5, 2020 by HenryW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erinil1 7 Posted September 12, 2020 Seems to be a fare list if your looking on it from a Swedish perspective. We have both the rider who have benefited most from the new system and the rider which have suffered the most from the new system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He knew he was in the semi, had gate choice so there was no need to take any chances. Under the old system he would have been flat out. The 2020 system allows a rider to coast in his last heat or two, maybe try a set up for the semi, rather than have to get every point at all costs. I'm sure it wouldn't happen but the system could allow a bit of team riding to get a mate into the semi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think what it does show, so far anyway, is that consistency (some may call it mediocrity) is paying off big time over the series... it's saying to me cruise home for a 3rd or 4th in a final and don't risk the win, ironically the new points system was brought in to encourage the winner of an individual event getting the most points, all well and good for a one day event, over a series it's being shown to fail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
