Bash 496 Posted May 19, 2022 The rising star should only be used in case of injury, tape & 2 minute exclusions. Why should they have to have one ride minimum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He missed Leicester's visit to Edinburgh last Friday through illness which means he is now serving a mandatory seven day suspension expiring tomorrow. However this does not prevent him from riding in an overseas league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racin Jason 72 1,267 Posted May 19, 2022 Not seen a official line up yet which is worrying. It will be standard points money and none of the top riders will want to ride in it. expect lots of van breakdowns and illness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, why spoil a good idea with mere details? Perhaps we could have a handicap race with the 6 RSs handicapped according to their teams current scores. Let's see Tom deal with that at the NSS, especially with the twins team riding! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No reason at all, just copying the stupid (in my view) SON rules from last few years! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marko 955 Posted May 20, 2022 So will this be over a number of meetings and then all of that rendered pointless by a flip of the coin in the final round so a pair dominating the competition by a country mile still loses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is done over 6 rounds.The winner of a round gets 12pts,2nd 8pts,3rd 6pts,4th 4pts,5th,2pts,6th 0pts.If I remember correctly that's how the scoring goes.

Was hoping this would be contested by just the best two only. Presume it also adds to the expense, as 18 riders needed. What is the point in that? So it’s a pairs meeting but it’s actually teams of 3? And it’s not actually the ‘best pairs’ either. All makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
