racers and royals

Surely Willie Dishington and Mark Lemon know the rules !!!!!( i see that the refs programme has not appeared on the BSPA website yet !!) Steve Worrall was plainly eligible for heat 15- even under the rule before the supp reg was issued he was eligible. I`m sure a certain team manager from the past would have neatly stuck the supp reg in his rule book and cross referenced to the relevant page and rule.

Just been checking the supp regs sr 1803 20th March ART 15.14 TOP SCORERS HEAT (Heat 15 in all 3 Leagues) 15.14.3 b) Any Rider in the 1 – 5 by MA can be nominated for Heat 15. In addition, a reserve (6th and 7th by MA) who is in the top 3 points scorers from their programmed rides is also eligible, subject to them not already having taken 7 rides.

He must have been a top 5 scorer- Worrall scored 4 and berge only got 3 and they only had 6 riders- so i can only assume ref cocked up by not knowing the rule "B"

But was he one of the top 5 scorers- including bonus points- programmed rides only ??

15.14 TOP SCORER’S HEAT (Heat 15 in all SGB League Competitions) incl NDL 15.14.1 Gate Positions are determined by the outcome of the Coin Toss at the start of the Meeting. 15.14.2 The Home Team Manager nominates first, but once nominated these cannot be amended, except by the Referee should the nomination not conform to the Regulations. 15.14.3 Nominations must be a ‘qualified’ Rider, determined as either: a) A Rider in the top 3 of that Meeting’s Team by current MA (NB. A Team missing one of the top 3 and using the RR facility) may use the 4 th highest Rider by MA. or b) A Top 5 points scorer (counting the 4 x programmed rides only, including bonus points). Excluding any rider who has already taken 7 rides or if one of those top 5 point scorers has already taken 7 rides then the 6 th highest points scorer becomes a ‘qualified’ rider. (NB: No facility is available allowing another rider to be elevated to the qualified list if any of those top 5 points scorers are unavailable due to be withdrawn or has no equipment). If a rider is disqualified for an offence under Art 15.3 the Team Manager may choose either of the following options: - i) The disqualified rider can start on a 15 metre handicap in c or d (The opposing team does not change gate positions). or ii) Is replaced by a reserve who will start from the same gate position at the tapes. In a re-run of heat 15 a non-disqualified rider who is unable to take part may be replaced by a reserve or another ‘qualified’ rider

S Lambert in the next in place of Riss for me and MPT in 14

Rzeszow v Ostrow 2nd div play-off final 2nd leg Sunday September 23rd

There is a lot here https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/zdjecia/galeria/16477/forbet-wlokniarz-czestochowa-betard-sparta-wroclaw-4941-galeria1/57

I cannot believe this match will not be shown live on TV however on the schedules N sport have live handball on Saturday evening.

No averages just 2 Poles in top 5 and 2 Polish U21 riders at 6 and 7

Attendance given as 9000

Joel Kling must be a big doubt for both final legs this week after crashing today in Lublin.

Michael Gruchalski has improved all season- and i think has at least another year at 6/7. it will be interesting to find out which of the Extraleague 6/7`s will have to move up in 2019 because of age.

it holds 18000- i would say 5000 there.

Indeed.

Zach is in the final round of the U21 world championships in Pardubice on Friday 28th evening- so if he is fit i would think he will be on his way there with his bikes to attend the practice on Friday afternoon.

Don`t appear to be off sale for me- went through the 1st phase of buying just to check.

Czestochowa v Wroclaw 3rd/4th place play-off 2nd leg Sunday September 23rd

Przemyslaw Giera the Rybnik reserve has broken his femur at Lublin today.

He would be only a named no 8 as a tactical move if Lublin couldn`t get two top Poles for the top 5. As i have said on a few occasions i hope they bin the stupid rule !!!!!!- It has not worked this season in my opinion.

I was concentrating too hard on the Lublin v Rybnik epic encounter to watch Czestochowa v Wroclaw which i have just watched on freesports. I just love that racetrack and today didn`t disappoint(the commentator did !!!!!- someone needs to tell him what a bonus point is and when it`s awarded). congrats to Wroclaw on the bronze medal.

Pretty sure that the promotion/relegation play-offs start next Sunday September 30th and 2nd legs October 7th Matches will be Zielona Gora v Rybnik- Zielona Gora home 1st leg Pila v Ostrow- confirmed Pila home 1st leg start time 15.30pm local time
