Sounds like some bizarre refereeing! And goes to show what a wealth of information people like your good selves are.

Whereas your post contributes so much of value...

Possibly cook/king and starke for batch and s worrall? Would give a strong top 4, and an okish bottom 3. Still think batch and bjerre would be bargain signings, particular the latter

Tai zagar lambert batch barker s worrall Jacobs. Or perhaps nicholls and howarth instead of barker and worall.

Logically, i think it has to be 56-22. If Stancl dropped a point in heat 9, then surely that would make him 7(1) not 7(2)? which would mean to make him 7(2) a whole lot of other heats must be different as well, which seems highly unlikely, if not impossible? Added to the fact that weight of sources leans that way as well. Sorry, can't add anything as concrete as a programme with scores in.

There are of course 4 permanent wildcards.Ensuring a spread of nationalities, in particular ensuring sufficient representation from "major" speedway nations us clearly as important a factor as covering riders who were injured or for other reasons failed to qualify (finishing 9th or 10th in gp series has historically been pretty much a gyarantee(

If you were to go on form across all comps this season, the 4 best riders outside the current qualifying spots would arguably be emil g laguta kk and nki. That would make for a good line up next year, but in reality kk is very unlikely to get one, and Tbf nicki deserves one wildcard at least. If pawlicki drops out of top 8, I still see him bring picked for next year ahead of kk or hampel.

Tbf he did. I just find it surprising that people leave their Facebook settings open like that.

I imagine it's just fat fingers Joel.

Mate you give out all that personal info. And then your facebook page is totally open?

Personally, i think the series as it is now is pretty much spot on. but ro address your points:

Any news on tai's injury?

Are you confident that pzms contract with speedsport would have allowed them to sue?

I've been able to save new heat formats in the past with no issues. Tbh haven't looked at in the last 18 months though since I changed laptops.Are you using the limited time free trial or have paid for it?

He said the pirates that remain IE. Those that are riding

Possible that he requested it be changed for 2017 and got turned down? Or thought he had an understanding for this year which was reneged on?

So surely wolves just lodge a protest straight after the meeting? Or just before if rules say must be done before.We are constantly told ford knows the rule book better than anyone, so evidently this is an attempt to cheat rather than a mid understanding

Surely you have been on the forum long enough to know KKS Phil?

So why give him a hard time for predicting the team you say are "clear favourites" winning?

Was 1999 he was riding for Peterborough who had moved that season to the elite league iirc

Super race and great to see four brits outliving heat 15

Aces have to be narrow faces, even though wolves and poole both arguably have stronger teams and better home advantage, simply due to the fact wolves and poole must be 50/50 to knock each other out. Whichever side wins that semi I imagine would start the final slight favourites.

If stays as now: pedersen zagar puk and emil. If emil not interested, very hard to pick that last spot. If a dane makes top 8, I can see both other Danes getting a wc plus whichever of current top 8 drops out (assuming emil not interested - if emil is then I would guess that may mean zagar misses out) Think bsi may be ok giving a pole a wc if it takes total to 4, no way would they give a 5th pole a spot.

So if the top 8 stays as it is: pedersen puk zagar and emil for wildcards? With the last spot pretty open if emil still not interested. No brit would deserve it, surely they wouldn't give 3 to Danes, can't see a 5th pole getting it, no need to add a 3rd swede... g laguta, given he finally turned out for the bsi swc? As it is I think nick may scrape top 8 at expense of lindback or pawlicki, which would likely open a wc for killer plus the rider dropping out. Either way, looks like a good line up for next year. As for lungs comments: surely if credible you would expect bsi "favourites" at 1 and 13 as well? Maybe lambert is but surely say dudek would have got a decent draw?

Yep. But don't think you can blame those that have stalled on the system - they just haven't kicked on as you would have expected. You could add Paul starke to the list of successes. And probably Sargent to the list of those who have stalled. The issue now is do you try to being through a new wave, or allow the existing pool to continue filling EDR slots. Much I guess will depend on next year's league structure.
