salty Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 The whole point of the 4-3-2-0 scoring is to encourage team riding and to help the strongest pair win the meeting, not a duo which has one rider who sweeps all before him whilst his partner struggles. So why oh why have a tie break system that reward the lop sided partnership???? Only in Speedway......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longlivefrankie Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 yes i agree mistake one admas off three then mistake two adams just balsts off? surely he could have tried to slow it right up they might have still lost but crump may have passed him then he could have shut down steady? ive seen it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekker Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 the 4-3-2-0 format hasnt changed a thing wrt pairs meetings since it was introduced as per most of the fiddling with the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony159 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 "Those are the rules you signed up to" Who laughs last, laughs longest......What a fantastic weekend!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Feel the only winners tonight are those who think Speedway is a joke sport with all the silly rules they manage to think up .

Racer X Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 "Those are the rules you signed up to" Who laughs last, laughs longest......What a fantastic weekend!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was glad to see a pair that recognised the value of the minor places take the event - at least it was some sap towards it being a team event. I really like Mr Crump at the moment, he does a lot for the sport - so well done him. I'm not so impressed with Ulamek being allowed to ride into Stead unpunished though - surely that was excludable? Maybe I'm just grumpy cos Reading lost out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5-1 2 THE ACES Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 well done Crumpy and Steady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liesdale Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Can't wait to hear shovlar's version of events when he next logs on. What with his beloved Pirates getting knocked out by some dodgy countback system, and then to top it all off Crumpy wins again. Life is wonderful at the moment.

Eastie Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) How long did it take Pearson to realise that it didn't matter what Peterboro' did in their last outing either Eastbourne or Swindon were going to get more points?Poole hard done by imo. Should have gone down to who won their head to head with the Aces. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They all know the rules at the start of the meeting , DONT come last in the final and what did Swindon do , they cocked it up bigtime. Not only did they put Adams off 3 instead of 1 , Adams then decides to blast off and win by the proverbial country mile and thenn looks back for his teammate when he has crossed the finish line ....................good teamriding Lee Edited June 4, 2006 by Eastie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Just watched it on timeslip as I had visitors around. All I can say is that this tournament sucks C*ck big time. What an absilutely disgracefully stupid rule, that Pirates didn't go through to the final because of the way some idiot designed the rules. Poole finish level with BV, so common sonse would say, what was the rsult when the two clubs met. Poole won. So Poole go through. Easy eh? No hold on a minute. Thats too easy! We will go with race winners! What the f*ck? Sorry but Poole should have been in the final, and looking at it would probably have won beating Ulamek. Thank god I didn't waste my money by going. Absolutely farcial and more embarrasment on Sky. Belle Vue should not have even been in the final. Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahuna Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I don't care what "might have been" if it had been Poole in the final- but the rules just seem to completely contradict themselves. Belle Vue go through due to more race wins - then Swindon win the race and lose! Had Belle Vue done what they did in the final earlier - they wouldn't have even got to the final Speedway Rules, you couldn't even make them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you would be fuming and rightly so. Would think a high percentage of us on here think the same.

Subedei Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 The only really surprising thing is that Ipswich, Arena Essex and Oxford weren't allowed a Tactical Ride - surely something for the BSPA to think about for next season. I know, I know, I shouldn't give them silly ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Speedway Rules, you couldn't even make them up <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would have thought that Shovlar would be used to Matt Ford making rules up as he went along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liesdale Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 funny how people moan when rules go against them <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And you can guarentee he would have said something completely different if the same thing had gone in Poole's favour.
