The only difference is the the Teams that got a bye are racing Each Other in the 2nd round,normally they race aTeam from previous round, of course that could have been the way the 2nd round was drawn ,but you would get good odds on that happening!!
I was not confused by the Championship fixtures,it is just I know some people seem to think there would still be a Shield Competition.You have clarified.Thanks.
Strange way to do it ,normally the full draw would put 1st round winner v bye. Doesnt make a lot a difference but why change things.Thats speedway though nothing simple.
