stewmac Posted 41 minutes ago Report Share Posted 41 minutes ago Sportowefakty details about the league, translation here: Starting in the 2026 season, the U24 Ekstraliga will adopt a four-legged system. This means that all matches will feature one home team and three visiting teams. Each team will host three such matches. There will be a total of 12 rounds. There will be no semifinals or finals. Three points are awarded for a win in each of the four matches. Subsequent places receive two, one, and zero points, respectively. In the event of a tie in points, the final standings will be determined by the number of heat points, followed by first, second, third, and fourth places in all rounds. Teams will consist of four riders under 24 years of age and one optional reserve. There will be no limits on the number of foreign or domestic riders. However, there will still be a maximum average points limit of 1.4 (or a different conversion rate in the case of average points from lower-level competitions – editor's note). The competition will consist of 18 races. Two riders from each team will line up in each heat. Ultimately, two riders will complete five heats, while the remaining two will complete four. Regular reserves will be allowed at the touch of the heat, but tactical reserves, rider substitutions, or grid swaps will not be permitted. Each four-event heat can be completed after 12 heats. The U24 Ekstraliga season begins on May 5th. The first hosts will be Perłowa Przystań Stal Gorzów and AVO KS Toruń . In the Lubusz Voivodeship, Polcopper Agromix Unia Leszno , Falubaz Zielona Góra , and U24 Beckhoff Sparta Wrocław will also compete. In the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Grudziądzkie Mebelki GKM Grudziądz , Impakt Włókniarz Częstochowa , and Motor Lublin will appear .

racers and royals Posted 22 minutes ago Author Report Share Posted 22 minutes ago So it’s a format where 4 teams are in the meeting but it’s not a four team tournament as we know it with 1 rider from each team in every race. It’s 2 riders from 1 team v 2 riders from another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
