Should UK adopt Polish League Heat Formula and Rules


Recommended Posts

I like the Polish scope for race line up changes but I'm not keen on the 2 nominateds at the end of the meeting I prefer our heat 15 nominees... so yes and no 😁

Yes As long as we don’t adopt their program lay out

No for me

The recent play off which between RR for a second string and tacticals enabled a team to use the 3 top riders in 20 of 30 heats across the 2 legs doesn't sit well with me

Not for me. While the tactical side of things is interesting to an extent I want to see as few delays as possible between heats. Chopping and changing riders promotes multiple heats in a row for individual riders and prolonged intervals between those heats.

No not really as it’s good to see all riders in UK getting their fair share of rides across the team.  
To get team managers more involved maybe introduce gate choices if a team is behind (say by 4 pts away team & 6 for the home side). This would still allow for coin toss and either choice of gate HT1 or HT15 and if and when the scores are level the appropriate gate position as per the initial choice remains in situ throughout the meeting.
