This as far back as i can find on speedway.nu

Yeah it seems pretty certain the big question is if Indianerna or Piraterna will get a second chance in the semi finals as "best looser". Personally i think that Piraterna will take the semi final spot. Normally they should manage a better away score againt Vetlanda then Indianerna against Lejonen. However with this "best looser" thing you never know.

now updated with links to tonights and next weeks quarter final meetings.

Anders, two things: 1. its not semi-finals, its quarters finals. 2. couldn't you have used the existing thread about the Play Offs?

its off now. no new date has been announced.

yeah you're right, first they intended to ride on the sunday but it was still raining. If they are gonna try again IMO saturday this week would be a good choice.

yeah the previous try also rained off.

at 20.30 there will be a decision whether to continue or not. Personally i doubt that they can continue. if you look at the webcam it still rains heavily. http://www.masarnaavesta.nu/webbcam.php

it doesnt look good rain!!! http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w162/so...5/webcamphp.jpg

i've added links to the lineups for the Quarterfinals in Elitserien and for the final in Allsvenskan.

i think so too since i read in Masarna's Guestbook that Andreas has loaded his bikes into the transport. So i guess that he's heading for Avesta.

here you have it. http://sportowefakty.pl/img/_tmp/stateliga08.htm http://sportowefakty.pl/img/_tmp/statIliga2008.htm http://sportowefakty.pl/img/_tmp/statIIliga2008.htm

Vargarna is the first finalist in this years Allsvenskan Playoff with a total score of 114-78. The start of other meeting between Valsarna and Griparna was delayed due to rain. Valsarna is currently the other finalist with a 2 point margin with 6 heats to go.

F-S-P. former Smederna rider Eric Andersson will ride instead of using R/R for Linus Eklöf. The benefit from this race will go to Kim Jansson's rehab fund.

The Playoff for Allsvenskan starts tonight. Griparna vs. Valsarna and Vargarna vs. Örnarna. i've added links to both in the first post.

Troy apparently missed the flight but i dont know why Hans wasnt there i think he had personal reasons.

Yeah he will be back on track in a few weeks.

With tonight's scores Masarna is the team who will be relegated to Allsvenskan next season.

about avoiding relegation: If Masarna wins with 61-35 or more Masarna stays. If Masarna wins and Smederna only manage a draw or looses Masarna stays. If Masarna looses and Smederna looses with 47-49 but wins the race off for the bonus points Smederna stays. If Masarna wins with less then 60-36 and Smederna wins Smederna stays. If Masarna ties or looses and Smederna ties or wins Smederna stays. Smederna has a better rider point difference which will be decisive in Smederna's favour if Smederna and Masarna ends up on the same amount of team points.

i know of a track quite close to Cph. allthough its not a danish track. Gnistorna from Malmö is a Swedish div1. team. the Distance is about 48km.

i dont know either or could they mean the small grass area just before the tracks merge? but its still the same hay bales are less good then a run-off area.
