Vicar Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Hello Rules in Ekstraliga are little diffeent then in lower leagues, but I will give some of Ekstraliga. Teams Home team numbers 9 -15, away team 1 - 7. There must be three Polish riders in squad (one of them must be U21),(Vaculik, Holta and Kobrin are treated like Polish riders) there can be only two GP riders. Numbers 6,7,14,15 are U21 riders. Heat format HERE on page 9 is heat format. In 15th heat there are riding riders with the highest number of scored points. In heat 14 weaker riders then in heat 15. Reserves Riders 7 and 15 at any moment in match can replace other rider. But these riders (like all riders) can have only 5 rides + tactical substitution + rider replacement. When team is loosing by six points can make tactical substitution. But riders 6,14 can be replaced only by riders 7,15 even if it is tactical subsitution. And there is no obligatory number of heats for any rider. So it can be that rider will not ride any heat I don't know how it is with tyres...

Thanks for your reply vicar,so a rider can go to a match and have no rides is that correct?!!!Cant think why GB riders would travel all that way and not ride,maybe they get paid a retainer or something like that.interesting if you have a good reserve he can replace riders even if they havnt ridden!!!!So someone like Lewis Bridger or Tai would stay at reserve all season or have i got this wrong(as usaual!!)

Lewis and Tai are U21 so they can be all season under number 7 (15) and replace other riders whenever manager wants. Foreigners costs so I think manager will not invite foreigner to the match without giving him chance to ride any heat, because it is a lost of money. About reserve - this is how important is to have good U21 rider in team. Edited May 14, 2009 by Vicar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
