Slovenian 2012 News

[tomazpozrl 8]

And here I start with the 2012 edition of Slovenian speedway news.

 

Main rules and calendar for 2012 season have been discussed and fixed yesterday in Lendava, Slovenia, where the representatives of Slovenia, Croatia, Czech republic, Slovakia and Hungary met.

 

* Senior championship continues with the cooperation of Slovenia and Croatia. A/B group format will again be used and in case there is not enough riders from these two countries, the lineups will be filled with riders from Czech republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia.

* Junior championship continues with the cooperation of Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary (Gyula) and Austria will join this competition next year. The Austrians will stage one meeting (Natschbach) and two Austrian riders will participate in all 6 rounds of the championship

* Team cup continues with the cooperation of Slovenia, Croatia, Czech republic and Slovakia. As some of the countries lack riders (Croatia, Slovakia) it was decided to use the format with two teams and 5 riders per team (similar to the Danish league)

Can you confirm, (what I think happens) that in each of the individual competitions (Snr & U21) that the highest total point scorer of each country will become that country's national champion.

 

e.g. if the 2 new young Austrians come last at 15th and 16th, the higher will be Austrian U21 Champion, - Yes ?

I can confirm that this is true for Slovenia and Croatia. Best Slovenian rider in the senior championship is Slovenian champion and best Croatian rider is Croatian champion. And likewise for U21 championship.

 

But I think it's not the same for Hungary and Austria. Hungary only participates in the common U21 championship with 2 riders and they are both from Gyula (Benko, Nagy). Not sure about Austria and which two riders will participate in this competition next year. But I don't think Austria has an U21 championship.

The calendar for the common senior, junior and team cup competitions is now complete. Check my first post for the dates.

 

Four dates for the team cup competition have been added and two of the existing dates (one for the senior and one for the junior championship) have been amended.

[tomazpozrl 8]

One change in the U21 calendar: the meeting in Gyula has been moved from 14th July to 11th August.

Good to see Austrian juniors competing. There was some regress of them in past years.

Yes, I agree with that. That's why we invited them to join the junior championship, because we knew they have some good riders.

 

By the way, Vicar, I noticed some mistakes on your website. Slovenia-Czech republic meeting on 24.3. was in Ljubljana, not in Krsko. And it wasn't an international challenge match, it was a 4 nations (Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia, Czech republic) Team Cup meeting.

[Vicar 2]

Thanks for that, I've just corrected those mistakes Was the meeting on 23.3 in Gorican also 4 nations Teamp Cup?

[tomazpozrl 8]

USA is the first nation to officially enter a team for the SWC qualifier in Ljubljana on May 5th:

 

1. Greg Hancock

2. Billy Hamill

3. Ryan Fisher

4. Ricky Wells

Is that for the European Junior Team Semifinal? Heard that Sweden will be going to Chervonograd for a team semifinal in the end of April. In that case, has it been changed from Rivne? Which are the teams for that meeting? Many questions, but I think you have some answers.
