[racers and royals]

It wouldn`t surprise me if they have messed the track up grading it.

Bet they wouldn't be grading it if it were 17-7 and not the other way round. As i said, i have seen a LOT worse. Alan.

5 more minutes according to Wocky chatroom.

The meeting in norrköping have been cancelled. They were just not able to fix the track after the rain.

 

@brandonbee , this is far from the first time Ryan S have companied about a slightly wet track.

It seemed like he was the only one, but can't be absolutely sure. I thought Bjarne was VERY unlucky to go in the last heat. Should have been all four back. Alan.

Agree. He was taken completely out and the rider in red should have gone. He lost control and just skidded across in front of Bjarne.

 

Poor meeting though. Riders all over the place. Either a rocket or a slug. spaced out racing.

[brandonbee48]

Wonderful, but all too brief clip of Olle Nygren there. There was a rider! Alan.

[brandonbee48]

I see the Polish match is already up on Soccer-live for tomorrow. Alan.

Elit Vetlanda - Piraterna

[krompa]

It's a new system for the season. After the regular season, the top six advances to the Play Off, as below:

 

QUARTERFINAL STAGE

 

Group 1 (which I will call "A" to simplify things) will be teams 1, 3 and 6.

Group 2 (which I will call "B" to simplify things) will be teams 2, 4 and 5.

 

Three tuesdays will be used for this quarterfinal group stage: Tuesday September 7th, 14th and 21st.

 

The highest placed team (from the regular season) in each group, choose which team they want to meet in round 1, and if it will be home or away.

 

The winner of round 1 will ride in round 2, against the team that rested in round 1.

 

In round 3, the remaining fixture will be held.

 

Examples (for Group A):

1st placed team chooses to start at home to 3rd placed team. 1st placed teams wins the meeting.

 

1-3

6-1

3-6

 

If 1st placed team lose the first meeting, then it will be:

 

1-3

3-6

6-1

 

SEMIFINALS

 

Dates: September 28th and 29th

 

A1 vs B2, home and away

B1 vs A2, home and away

 

FINALS

 

Dates: October 5th and 6th

 

Winners of each semifinal, home and away

 

Thanks Anders.

Strange system but interesting. A lot of speculation before 3rd round possible.

It means that the only advantage you have for finishing regular season on top is a chance to pick which of 2 opponents you prefer to ride at home and which one away?

That's quite an advantage by itself I would say, but not the only advantage.

 

Also, in the finals, the highest placed team from the regular season choose if they start home or away.

 

The 1st placed team also receive 100 000 SEK.

Canal+ showing Elit Vetlanda v Piraterna next tuesday 31st,should be a cracker.

well i think Vetlanda should be able to take a comfortable home win especially since neither of the teams have anything to ride for.

Vetlanda is also a very strong home team so i predict a score around 52-44 <-> 55-41 for Elit Vetlanda.

[Anders]

Though we now don't have matters in our own hands, we (Elit Vetlanda) have the chance for 1st place and 100 000 SEK. That wouldn't be bad at all, so here's hoping for a Lejonen win against Dackarna, and we should be fine, if we can just beat those Pirates...

 

Vetlanda is also a very strong home team so i predict a score around 52-44 <-> 55-41 for Elit Vetlanda.

 

54-42 would be nice, thank you very much!
