Traditional official season opening - Aces Criterion in Bydgoszcz - Sunday, 27th of March, 15:00 (Polish time). Line up: Damian Baliński (Unia Leszno) Tomasz Gapiński (Polonia Bydgoszcz) Tomasz Gollob (Caelum Stal Gorzów) Rune Holta (Unibax Toruń) Robert Kościecha (Polonia Bydgoszcz) Artiom Łaguta (Włókniarz Częstochowa) Grigorij Łaguta (Włókniarz Częstochowa) Adrian Miedziński (Unibax Toruń) Piotr Protasiewicz (Falubaz Zielona Góra) Emil Sajfutdinow (Polonia Bydgoszcz) Ryan Sullivan (Unibax Toruń) Piotr Świderski (Betard Sparta Wrocław) Sebastian Ułamek (Unia Tarnów) Grzegorz Walasek (Polonia Bydgoszcz) Maciej Janowski (Betard Sparta Wrocław) - not confirmed Artur Mroczka (Caelum Stal Gorzów) - not confirmed Welcome to Bydgoszcz!!

I'll probably go to Brokstedt for Bundesliga match at 1st of May so no way to run Gniezno-Bydgoszcz match at that time

Funny situation is that 1st league clubs from Grudziądz and Daugavpils are trying to back to old date (1st of May) of their match!

I think that easier way will be to take bus - PKS or Komfortbus. They start from main bus station (Jagiellońska street, near Focus Park). Usefull address: http://www.pks.bydgoszcz.pl/

I think transport system will work as usual at Sundays

So now it's confirmed - my above information is correct. Event 1 (Vojens) - Denmark, Sweden, Australia, winner of QR in Lonigo (Italy, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Latvia). Event 2 (King's Lynn) - Poland, Great Britain, Russia, winner of QR in Landshut (Germany, Ukraine, USA, Finland).

Unfortunately all 1st and 2nd league matches in Poland from 1st of May are postponed to 23rd of June (only match Rivne-Kraków will be held at 10th of April). Also 1st round match in 2nd league Krosno-Opole is postponed to 17th of April.

Teams are seeded to semifinals according to the key (positions taken last year) - 1, 4, 6(?) in one semifinal, 2, 3, 5(?) in second (I'm not sure about 5-6 teams). So it should be Poland, Great Britain and Russia in one semifinal, Denmark, Sweden and Australia in second ...

Tuinstra got permanent wild card for the whole season ...

The staff will not be sent to Vatican (just few reporters and maybe cameras) - but there will be lot of ceremonies all over Poland

There is no decision for now ... But if so, all matches will be postponed ... or no ...

I think the key problem is TV! They'll put all their stuff for JPII Beatification ceremonies in various places ... so Extraleague matches will be rather postponed ... I hope the 1st and 2nd league matches will be held at normal dates

Sanok Cup won't be shown live in any Polish TV. I'm not sure about re-transmission.

Never say never Mateusz If "specialists" from IMG/BSI will take care of track preparation even the indoor meeting would be rained off

Speaker didn't want to give us these times and there was no race protocol at the race office just after the meeting Missing times: 14. 48,62 19. 47,31 20. 48,32 Final. 51,72

I think there were approx. 2000 with tickets and more then 2000 without I'm always trying to check the results ... This time there was also small problem with results of heat 7. The speaker at the track said 3rd was Schukken and 4th Reitsma. I saw it in different way so I waited for the results at the organizer's site. And for the next time I was right About Mark exclusion - I totally agree with You! As for me it was Bruckner (red) fault and Mark just tried not to hit Bruckner ... He've got "great" reward - exclusion ...
