[Najjer 2,890]

Given their history and season they’ve just had, I’d take both Walasek and Gapinski over Miedzinski any day of the week

I see Patrick Hansen not staying with them, he off to Gorzow? Who’s going to be their foreigners Berntzon and Klindt?

That seems to be the rumour with Hansen. Abit of a shame to leave Ostrow but you can understand why. Being tipped today that the highly rated Matias Nielsen could replace him.

Then it’s two out of Berntzon, Klindt and Holder for the last two spots…. Although again in the news that all three may initially be contracted

Berntzon has signed.

May as well stay loyal to Klindt rather than signing Holder seeing as they're a lock for relegation now.

Denis Zielinski has confirmed he’s leaving Grudziadz

Tarasenko and Jakobsen confirmed for Grudziadz

So I’ve just seen - this is going to get interesting after the agreement on a deal and photo of him in Gorzow colours.

Be a shame if he goes to Wroclaw as could make them even stronger than this year.

6.

Isn't this the same as 2007 to 2011, a system that 'died of embarrassment' when Leszno lost both legs of their play-off 1st round but still made it to the grand final

Was and then he personally broke off the agreement to sign for Wroclaw.

[racers and royals 8,728]

The new U24 Ekstraliga competition will consist of 8 teams. There will be 16 rounds in 2 parts. At the end of the season we will know the Team U24 Ekstraliga Champion.

In the main part of the season, each team will meet each opponent twice, once on their own track and on the opponent's track. The final part will be played in the knockout system with the participation of the two best teams (match and rematch). The U24 Ekstraliga schedule will be given in a separate announcement.

In U24 Ekstraliga matches, teams will participate in teams of 6 to 8 players. Only U24 players from the Ekstraliga team on the match day may be entered into the team composition, except for players who obtained an individual average of 1,400 or more in the season preceding the season before the match. In the case of players competing in the lower leagues in the previous season, the average will be converted in accordance with the regulations. The current list of competitors entitled to start in U24 Ekstraliga will be published in the announcements.

In each team with numbers 1 - 7 or 9 - 15, entries will have to be:

at least 2 national competitors without international licenses
at least 2 competitors with a license issued by a federation other than PZM
Only youth runners (U21) may be entered with the starting numbers 6 and 7 as well as 14 and 15. National or foreign players can be entered with the number 8 for the visiting team and 16 for the host team.

The players will not be able to take part in the PGE Ekstraliga match and the U24 Ekstraliga match on the same day. "Guests" players cannot be entered in the team composition. However, the rules of replacing a player will function in the competition: only with the first, second or third average of the reserve team (similar to PGE Ekstraliga, the sick leave will have to be issued for them for at least 15 days). The so-called ZZ will not apply to U21 players with numbers 6, 7, 8 and 14, 15, 16.

The matches will be played according to the 15-speed system and the running table from the PGE Ekstraliga games.
