Gambo95 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Either get rid of it for single meetings and have it for aggregate points or give the winning team 3 points. There should be the same amount of points available in every match. The extra point could determine who qualifies for the semi finals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Three points for a win is the obvious solution. Maybe too obvious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirao Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Presumably the riders get paid at their normal points rate for riding in this heat sonas a ball park it cost an extra £1k last night. Worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Agreed; the super heat feels like a solution thought up by a child. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 The purpose of it is to bring a victory for one team. Normally the home side so the fans can go home happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 (edited) Personally I'd have kept the 3-2-1-0-1-2-3-4 scoring system which awarded the away team two points for a draw anyway. One of the best ideas British Speedway has come up with in recent years and they scrapped it! Edited April 17 by Bagpuss 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they did away with that so new fans wouldn't get confused only to replace it with new fans being confused with an extra race with a different scoring system.

Its really no more complicated than a penalty shootout, and football fans seem to cope with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piston197 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 If you are going to have a deciding heat to determine a win, then one nominated rider from each side, one wins, one loses would suffice, the stupid 4-3-2-1 points fiasco where one side can win the meeting by finishing 2nd/3rd is a daft idea, even if you put 4 riders out on track, then the winning side should be the side whose rider wins the decider . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
