racers and royals 8,736 Posted June 29, 2020 4 minutes ago, Bavarian said: That is ridiculous, especially in Sweden, to allow only 50 spectators at outdoor sports venues that could easily accomodate thousands of people. Is there any hope that more spectators will be allowed in July, August, September, or October ? Norway had an upper limit of 50 until June 15, and now they let up to 200 spectators in, and Finland already allows up to 500. Why can't the Swedes agree on a higher number? Could be something to do with how currently they are doing with the Covid outbreak https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Can someone explain to me the meeting format for Sweden? I've had a look at a few meetings from last year and it seems a little all over the place. Does heat 10 really have 3 reserves and the away number 5? Any help would be appreciated thanks Also team compositions... Seems there aren't no number 1s etc... A bit like Poland they pick and choose the rider order. Also what about reserves, does it have to be a Swede at number 7 and number 6 can be anyone? Cheers Edited June 30, 2020 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted June 30, 2020 Is the blank heat schedule on page 1, minus the second reserve race and heats 12, 13, 14 brought forward 1 race each correct? And 14 and 15 nominated heats? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heat 14 and 15 are nominated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also what about reserves, does it have to be a Swede at number 7 and number 6 can be anyone? Cheers With a normal hear schedule Heat 9 and 10 have one reserve from each team. You are also correct that there is no dedicated nr 1 but that teams can choose freely how to place their 5 best riders. Reserves can be non Swedish riders as well. Normally the home team put their best riders at 1,3 & 5. Also unlike Britain, averages are updated after every meeting so reserves can change from one meeting to another. https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionHeatSchema.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Season=2019&Serie=Elitserien&Resultfilter=APPROVED&Columns=FromDateShort,Name,HeatSchema,HeatResult&pagesize=20&CompetitionId=10771 The heat schedule this year will look like this, not sure if there are other rule changes as well due to the new format. Heat 13 -15 will have riders based on their scoring, with the two lowest scoring from each team in h13 and highest scoring in h15.

They say that they don't want to risk their finances but doing 9 meetings + -"play offs" without spectators. Each team are supposed to be paid 560 000 SEK (about 50 000 GBP) but apparently Smederna don't consider this to be enough. It will be 6 man teams and 8 rounds with a bonus round to make sure all teams get the same amount of home meetings. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/pwzzakbzk-21mi1/forutsattningarna-for-bauhaus-ligan-klara How many teams qualify for the play-offs ? Is it four (top four straight into the semis) or six (with an additional quarter-final round) ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.k. then it will probaly be the top six in the Playoffs with 3rd to 6th in two quarter-finals, and 1st and 2nd straight into the semis. I guess with Eskilstuna already withdrawing, there would be no relegation from the Eliteserien to the Allsvenskan this year. Right?

I only had a quick look at old Svemo site but it looks as if the fixtures are on there with 1 Qf ie 5 teams Edit sorry that`s not the revised fixtures so cannot confirm how many teams in play-offs.
