The referee, for one! It's not Phil's call when the riders leave the pits, or when the 2 minutes comes on, or stuff like that. He is directed by the referee.
I think you will find that it is the Race Director, Morris, who calls the shots.

It has never been on terrestrial TV, apart from highlights. People have rose-tinted, and very distant, memories.
There were many matches on ITV. Coventry Cradley always a spicy affair.

Can we change the team for Sat, i.e bring in Bomber?
Harris & Worrall are in the 8 man squad, so could be used.
-
Maybe they will once the win is mathematically certain?

All credit to the FIME for producing a format where riders meet all of the others in their 13 Rider group. But the downside of the format means that Seth Norman will not get his first race until race 12, (The two groups feature in alternate races) and two of his group will have already had 3 of their 4 qualifying races.

33 is not a female rider (Norma Seth), it's Seth Norman.

As explained earlier David, Niels could have been given a few seconds more, he had just done heats 12 & 13 so I dare say he needed some maintenance and possibly a tyre edge change., which was why he was late going to the gate.
It sounds reasonable to me.
Max Fricke had also done Heat 13.... He didn't need extra time.

Wayne Jarvis by his decision to exclude NKI delayed the meeting even more and made heat 15 a virtual non event bearing in mind FRICKE was unbeaten and Lawson had only been beaten once by NKI.
Common sense should have been applied, supporters go to watch speedway not referees making poor decisions
The overall consensus of opinion seems to differ from yours. Iversen only just beat the two minutes exclusion, and then proceeded to ignore the Referee and Start Marshall prompts to be ready to race.
How long should he have been given? Another minute..two minutes...?

Playing Devil's Advocate here.
In my working career I was trained by Rolls Royce (a GREAT company to work for BTW) as an apprentice and paid a wage whilst doing so.
Similar to a NL rider.
At the end of my apprenticeship, I was taken on as a full time machinist and paid a great deal more than my apprenticeship wage.
Similar to NL rider progressing to be a CL and/or PL rider.
If another company offered me, (now with a young family to support), a vastly increased wage to induce me to leave RR would I have changed jobs? Of course I would.
Wouldn't you?

I believe the draw for the PL Pairs may be done live during this broadcast.

That feels like a very annoying way to calculate it... Particularly if you're wanting to keep track of it by a spreadsheet... Do the people who make the rules just make it as difficult as possible for the people who keep track of these things or what!
It's quite easy to keep track of it via a Spreadsheet.... trust me!
You can even get a copy of a similar Spreadsheet to the one the BSPA use from www.kandysoft.com.

There this pub in the shopping complex. Not sure what the foods like!

But only 3 turned up at Edinburgh and 2 at Workington so still a farce.
So how is that the SCB's fault?

I feel sorry for the two ladies who gave it their full commitment. Poor show from the SCB for not getting a larger field, yes there are more lady riders out there, and putting a GP experienced rider in this ‘field’ was a joke.
There were 4 ladies scheduled for both the Edinburgh (3rd June) and Workington (4th June) meetings.

I think that is the rule isn't it? "IF" you have a clock on the in field
Not in UK, just have to be on track and heading towards the start.

Is it just me or do other fans have same gripe?
This flipping eternal digging by riders at start. It's mind blowing
I watched highlights of Leicester and Sheffield and imagine same at other meetings it takes an age to get them settled at start with boot digging and scuffing
Easy answer Ban it or exclude under 2 minutes be same for all riders if they just stopped it
The same has been said by many people, many times! The two minutes rule as per FIM should have been adopted years ago. Not ready to race as the clock ticks down to zero...excluded!

10 on a rolling basis
It's actually reverted back to 20 for this year. Most riders started with their last 10 from 2022 in their Rolling Average.
Riders like Schlein for example, who didn't compete in 2022, have their previous season 20 meeting Rolling Average stats in their starting average this year.

Surely Edwards held on for 3rd in heat 12. Don't know why BSN can't show a different camera angle from the camera just past the finish line.
Who's Middlo wanting excluded from heat 13? Cannot have all four back on third bend, so one of the Poole riders has to go.
Looking at the replay Edwards was guilty of rolling off the throttle just before the finish line.

And while you're at it with the regs... is there anything in there about unfair or dangerous riding, there are in the British regs not sure about FIM
All Regs are available for download from the FIM website. All you need to know | FIM (fim-moto.com)

It doesn’t, the FIM rule book is very clear.
I'm more than happy to be proved wrong, but , noting that the regs you posted above says (except FIM Speedway Grand Prix world championship series) can you show the actual regulation that says a race cannot be awarded. I can't see it in my copy.

Personally I think Zmarzlik was at fault
However it’s funny reading old man Middlo who believes the referee cost Jack Holder??
Obviously the Poole boss doesn’t know the rules that no race can be awarded at GP level….. o don’t agree with the rule but surely Muddlo should know it
Unfortunate for Holder ….. but someone had to be excluded so to see Muddlo get his knickers in a twist over the decision costing Holder is hilarious
10.19 Finish of a heat
The finish of a heat shall occur in the case of any of the following circumstances.
a) when the front part of the front wheel of the motorcycle (whilst attached to the machine) passes over the finishing line after completing the appropriate number of laps provided the competitor is in contact with his motorcycle.
b) when the referee has awarded the heat as provided for in these regulations.
c) if the referee has cause to stop a heat after the leading rider has passed the start/finish line to commence the last lap, the referee has the sole discretion to award the heat based upon the positions of the competitors at the time the heat was caused to be stopped.
The disqualified rider will be awarded no points and any competitors behind the disqualified riders will advance one place.
d) where racing incidents etc. have reduced the riders available to take part in the rerun of any heat to a single competitor, the referee may award the appropriate number of points to the remaining competitor without the need for a further rerun.

If you need to be a genius to understand it, just imagine how hard it was to produce a 'user friendly' Spreadsheet for it!
