Ellis won heat 15 l have watched the dvd to confirm this believe the referees scorecard was wrong 

Whatever happened on track the referee's scorecard is by definition  - the result. 

Last time I saw this was at Plymouth in 2020 when the wrong Thompson twin was excluded.

The BSPA website is the referee's scorecard and would be the  official result.

Rule number 1 - The referee is always right

Rule number 2 - In the event of the referee being wrong please refer to Rule number 1

It matters, especially in the above case if you happen to be a Thompson Twin and / or when it's your team.  Relting a tale: I recall chatting to ref folowing a match at Hull, Craven Park wehere the ref's box was pretty much in line with the start (this is important) , he was quite friendly so a mate mentioned he'd got the result wrong in heat ?? in giving it to the Hull rider.  The ref replied "oh yes I know the race you mean, well it was a close finish and I wasn't 100% sure who'd won so I gave it to the home rider to keep the crowd happy" :blink:.  Words fail(ed) me, which I'm told doesn't happen often :rolleyes:....
