Â Top tier - Elitserien - starts in August Second Tier - Allsvenskan - has been shrinking in recent years - won't be running Third tier - Division 1 - amateur, 4TT format - started earlier this month.

No, just that the second highest (of three) series won't run this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 On 7/1/2020 at 4:19 PM, Ghostwalker said: The heat schedule this year will look like this, not sure if there are other rule changes as well due to the new format. Heat 13 -15 will have riders based on their scoring, with the two lowest scoring from each team in h13 and highest scoring in h15.  The format above has been confirmed. Fixed gates for Heats 1-12 and as I understand it, the Home team has gate choice for the nominated heats. There is provision for a No.7 who has no programmed rides, but can take up to 4 rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also post that on the " new look for the star" thread on news and discussions section- Phillip might see it 1st there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "Fixed gates for heats 1-12" you mean there will be no gates draw? And for nominated heats Home Team can pick gates 1&3 (heats 13 and 15) and gates 2&4 (heat 14) and vice versa? Any link to official source confirming?

I submitted my Match Programme to SVEMO with the fixed gates, so I presume there will be no draw. I also presume that the home team could chose 1&3 (or 2&4) in all 3 heats. I have no link as the details came in a private message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be so weird and unfair if home can pick the same gates for all 3 nominated heats. Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Had confirmation from Andrew Skeels at the Speedway Star that they're expecting their Swedish correspondent to include a preview of the Swedish season in next week's edition.  I've suggested he makes sure that the new heat formula is discussed along with the differences between the leagues in Sweden and here. It's clear from Polish threads here that a similar exercise could have been a valid feature n the Star when Poland started up. The Star needs and deserves readers and if it can act as a guide to what people are watching on TV and online it might help in a small way. Edited July 30, 2020 by RobMcCaffery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Star's Swedish correspondent is delaying the preview for a week since the teams are far from resolved yet. So it should be in the August 15th-dated issue, out on the 13th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) It's 1 August 2020 and we have a new Jansson champion when Anton Jansson won the youth (85cc) final today. Anton is great grandson of Joel Jansson, grandson of Bosse Jansson (Tommy Jansson's brother) and son of Jimmy (Smederna's team manager). Edited August 1, 2020 by Ghostwalker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Alexander Woentin in the driver's seat with 15 p after 20 heats. Philip Hellström-Bängs with 14 and Jonatan Grahn with 12 are the biggest challengers in the final. Edited August 1, 2020 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
