Subedei 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Problem with that, of course, is that it means no dramatic race-off, so it's a non-starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Mitch 2 Posted July 13, 2008 if 2 teams finish on the same points surely it is only fair that the team who hasnt used their joker should be the called the winner Just be totaly radical the side that scores most points WINS No Joke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyderd 1,216 Posted July 13, 2008 if 2 teams finish on the same points surely it is only fair that the team who hasnt used their joker should be the called the winner There would be no point in playing the Joker then,its a rule that most Speedway fans dislike but it does help keep the scores close,and for nuetral fans and first time viewers it works,the fact we are discussing it confirms that.

rabbit 1 Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) National support aside though BFD, you gotta see that it is a crap rule - the Poles got their points through hard work which was wiped out in one heat because of a golden dingly dangly allowing your guys right back in it. I've no gripe which of the two teams went through to the final, but I did feel for the Poles; same as I'd have done for the Aussies had the shoe been on the other foot - more so in fact as the Polskis were on home turf. And I'll say the say if by some total shock, it happens to us...unlikely though as I think the play-off beckins yet again. I do love this competition though, it throws up some great racing, and even if last night wasn't a classic, there was enough to entertain, especially the showing of the Russians and in particular, young Sajfutdinov - fearless and fast, just what I love to see on track. Can't wait til Thrusday now! Edited July 13, 2008 by rabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted July 13, 2008 Having seen Olsen onTV yeterday, I can only suppose that he will be in charge of the track on Monday night. I trust, therefore, that the track will be a bald as a badger's nether regions in order for the Danes to go straight through to Saturday. Ole Olsen or the usual track curator Colin Meredith. Makes no difference really because you can almost guarantee the track will be slick with hardly any shale and perfect for the Danes. The chances of them making the track more suitable for the racers in the G.B. team like Stead, Nicholls and Harris are virtually nil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
