PolskiZuzel 329 Posted May 14, 2020 it was announced yesterday (May 13) in Poland that teleconference took place between the chairmen of the Speedway Main Commission and the presidents of eight eWinner I League clubs. Everyone declared their will to compete in the upcoming season, including Latvian Lokomotiv Daugavpils - . However, in a case of the Latvian team we have to wait a little longer until we receive information on the opening of all borders, so that they can move from Poland to Latvia and vice versa - emphasised Mr Fiałkowski., the deputy chairman of the Speedway Main Commission . Just a few weeks ago the idea appeared that Lokomotiv would perhaps compete on one of the Polish tracks throughout the season, but the club officials from Daugavpils categorically excluded this option. It is also known that the matches will take place without the participation of the public. The league will start on July 11. The fixtures calendar is also arranged for play-offs. - If sanitary rules are abolished and there is a possibility that the League will go ahead with supporters. Competition calendar is very tight. Suffice it to say that the last round of the regular season is scheduled for October 10. eWinner 1st League will be broadcast on the Canal + platform. Two matches of each round will be broadcast on Saturdays (Fridays and Sundays are reserved for PGE Ekstraliga), The hours of these transmissions are to be confirmed but it is thought of 4:30 and 7:00 pm local time . The 1st division clubs will have time from June 6 to 11 to sign with their riders financial annexes . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting news- just one point, initially N Sport announced that the TV for the E Winner league would be 1 match Saturday and 1 match Sunday(before the 2 Extraleague matches on the channel) Is this definite that it has now changed to 100% Saturday`s ?

It is nothing to do with which channel covers the meeting but the time and day the meeting is raced. If they do double up riders will not have a clash. With lower a pay scale in the 2nd Tier there must be a chance overseas riders will not base themselves in Poland for the summer as the numbers dont add up. Team gaps may need filling. Time will tell.

iris123 20,990 Posted May 15, 2020 Wondering how it is all going to affect Wittstock. See they have a squad training planned for tomorrow. Thought the German/Polish border was still closed to all but essential travel or that you must enter quarantine if you come back to Poland. So maybe training without their Polish riders. But also saw that for Germany at least you don't have to go into quarantine until you are more than 72 hours outside the country (the report was about the Netherlands) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,730 Posted May 31, 2020 Sportowefakty article today- Google translated. Behind the scenes there are reports saying that the Main Speedway Sport Commission will make adjustments to the originally planned eWinner League 1 match schedule, and of course this is not only about dates. It is said that the modifications are to be forced by the TAURON SEC cycle, which is planned for July. Unofficial information shows that this year's competition for the European championship will take place only in Poland. One Sport has already set dates and locations, but so far the particulars have not officially seen the light of day. Four of the five rounds are to organize first league clubs. This is the most important thing and is to make adjustments occur in the schedule. Some of the teams that were initially supposed to go home will go on a trip. There are reports indicating that there are other factors that will force changes in the schedule of struggles at the back of PGE Ekstraliga. The start date of the eWinner 1. League does not change. The struggle will start on July 11. The exact schedule will be announced by the Main Speedway Sport Commission soon. This will happen after the Polish government gives the green light to the organization of the first league struggles. Everything seems to indicate that a set of eight teams will join the league - including Lokomotiv Daugavpils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything seems to indicate that a set of eight teams will join the league - including Lokomotiv Daugavpils. The presidents of the eWinner clubs of the 1st Speedway League in Poland, in agreement with the Main Speedway Sport Commission, agreed today on the date to start the 2020 competition. They confirmed the date the July 11, as it was thought of at the beginning of May. Club leaders decided that they would enter the season with the intention of staging play-offs, but on condition that by the time of the play-off, there would be agreement to organize mass events without limiting the audience. Otherwise, the season will end after the main round and the clubs will have to reckon with the fact that television funding will be cut proportionally. Detailed regulations and the schedule of games will be presented in the coming days. Immediately after, the clubs will receive a week to sign annexes with riders regarding new, lower rates per point. Riders who do not sign annexes will not be able to compete in Poland and will have to return the money they received for preparation for the season. In connection with the pandemic, new sanitary regulations will also apply, modeled on the one introduced in PGE Ekstraliga. At the end of June, coronavirus tests will be carried out among the eWinner 1st Liga speedway riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
