scribbler Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hold on - read my posting. I make no adverse comment about Steve - it is indeed a great achievement qualifying for the British Final after such a brief time in the sport... Well done to him and Scott and all the other qualifiers... So kindly don't put words into my mouth... You weren't exactly lavish with your praise of the meeting nor did you name any of the riders who qualified I think you were being castigated for not naming the riders who were there... and saying how weak the Mildenhall qualifying round was, whilst commenting (again) on the fact that Marc Owen didn't ride It was probably what you didn't say - rather than what you did say - about the actual meeting...

kiwi Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'd like to ask why it was such strange format in every qualifier? Why some riders where riding twice against another, and against another not at all? You can make for 13 riders such heat format that everyone will meet someone exactly once! Vicar can you send me this format rob@andsoft.co.nz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicar Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hm... maybe it is not. I thought that I saw somewhere such, but now I can see that it is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWatson Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hm... maybe it is not. I thought that I saw somewhere such, but now I can see that it is impossible. I asked the question of Graham Reeve (SCB) at Mildenhall and he told me that a formula where each rider rode against all others meant two on the trot in every heat - not ideal and certainly wouldn't have been yesterday on Sunday!

rabbit Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Good luck to all competitors for tonight's meeting. Here's hoping for an entertaining display of the next generation. I shall be there supporting Bren, so if anyone spots a dippy woman on the terraces jumping up and down in his races, please feel free to come and say hello.

KevtheRev Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 £4 is a bit steep for a programme. Rather than line the pockets of the BSPA I'd rather buy something from the trackshop or a pint from the bar. Does anybody have a spreadsheet I could use please?

Khabiboulin Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I asked the question of Graham Reeve (SCB) at Mildenhall and he told me that a formula where each rider rode against all others meant two on the trot in every heat - not ideal and certainly wouldn't have been yesterday on Sunday! In the end, I had been prepared to - at least partly - give the benefit of the doubt and assume that the very odd decision to have 13-rider fields was made because in four rides a rider will ride against 12 opponents and therefore could ride against everyone else once, making it a "fair" format. The fact that over half the field qualified for the semis and you could therefore win the meeting despite being one of the worst placed riders negated that to an extent, but at least it seemed to be some concession to fairness. However, since it appears this is not the case, I have to ask again, why have such a ridiculous format for a British Championship event? Was it purely down to costs? It's a sorry state of affairs if the need to cut costs means a British Championship isn't run fairly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In re-run Mear was well in front when Newman did a pirouette on lap 2, fell and is excluded. CHK says the racing thus far has been poor, whoever makes the gate is winning and the riders are all strung out practically every race!

Woffinden was leading at the time. Auty was lying 3rd but on the bend 3 of lap 2, Mear went up the inside of him fairly in CHK's opinion. Auty then drifted and fell, hitting the exact same part of the fence he hit last week when riding for Coventry. CHK says it was deja vu! Re-run: At last a good race, Woffinden got it but only just although CHK thought Bridger got it!!

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Just got back from Lakeside.. A massive well done to Joe. To beat Tai twice was an awesome effort. And had to do it the hard way having lost out in the 'ballot' for the two automatic places in the Final, which also, by a double whammy, meant he had only third choice of gate in the Final... And I got some stick before for commenting on the Mildenhall semi, so to redress the balance can I saw how impressed I was tonight by Steven Worrall - five points in the GB U-21s Final after less than a handful of senior meetings is an amazing achievement... A big well done to him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em1500uk Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Well done Joe A title well deserved! Hopefully the Stars supporters will see a similar performance at Rye tomorrow. It'd be very welcomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Crowd was poor, track was poor with racing almost non existent. Meeting seemed to drag on and a centre green announcer was definitely missed. The second year running it's been dire, will be skipping next year. However, Well done to Joe, great result. Thought Jerran rode well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
