Can someone explain the logic behind the rule. If most heat advantages decide the tie, what's the reasoning behind two 4-2s being better than a 5-1 & a 3-3?

3-3 is a draw

It is total heat advantages, if they were 4-2 or 5-1 or 5-0 or whatever doesn't matter. The score achieved doesn't matter. It is heat advantages, it cannot be any simpler than that.

A familiar tale:

1.  Speedway fans demand clear rule

2. SCB produce clear rule

3. SCB correctly apply regulation

4. Speedway fans winge

Tbf it is pretty self explanatory. Not sure why people are trying to make it complicated when it is one of the rules that isn't!

I'm not denying it's heat advantages, I'm not saying the rule isn't simple. I'm asking, why are two 4-2s better than a 5-1 and a 3-3 to decide a tie? Normally they are of equal value.

The scores over the 2 legs were of ‘equal value’ so they use heat advantages… are you thick ?

Of course they're of equal points value.  That's why we need a tie-breaker.     It's very simple that 2 heat advantages are numerically more than one heat advantage, and this ranks teams with a tied score.

Just as simple as an individual meeting where  1,2,2,1,3 =9  is ranked better than 2,2,2,2,1 = 9  even though they're equal value.

Just as simple as in football where until recently a team winning 2-0 and losing 1-3 were ranked better even though they're equal goals.

Because 2 4-2's are 2 heat advantages, and a 5-1 and a 3-3 is one heat advantage.

Would also cost the club more as there will be bonus points with the 5-1 scenario whereas there wouldn't with 4-2's.

We have a final that should have taken place in June (at the latest), contested by a team that got through because there were more points awarded in their group than the other groups and a team going through because they had 2 x 4-2's and another team had a 5-1 and a 3-3.

Better not tell my fellow work colleagues that in the morning.
