According to my calculations, this rule means that it will be possible to win a match using just 3 riders, With just 3 heat leaders, it works like this... Heat 1. Home no.1 wins, opp. riders 2nd and 3rd 3-3 Heat 2. No home riders turn up, opp. win heat 5-0 3-8 Heat 3 Home no.3 wins, opp. 2nd and 3rd (3-3) 6-11 Heat 4 Home no. 5 wins , " " " " 9-14 Heat 5 Home no. 3 wins ," " " " 12-17 Heat 6 Home no. 1 wins ....................... 15-20 Heat 7 Home no. 5 wins ....................... 18-23 Heat 8 No home riders opp. win heat 5-0 18-28 Heat 9 as the home side are behind by more than 8 points, their lone rider (no.3) is nominated as the golden joke® and wins for a 6-3 heat advantage 24-31 Heat 10 Home no.1 wins (3-3) 27-34 Heat 11 Home no. 5 wins......................................... 30-37 Heat 12 Home no.3 wins...........................................33-40 Heat 13 In their first pairing together, no.1 + 5 score a terrific 5-1!!!! 38-41 Heat14 Using the rider replacement rule, the lowest ranked heat leader rides in the place of a second string. and wins. (3-3) 41-44 Heat 15 The home pair score a 5-1 46-45 Now that's just plain silliness, but may be useful when you've got 4 riders injured.
