yahoho Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Negative. On a side note, as mentioned by someone else earlier - its great to see a meeting involving 4 teams where the riders are all from the same nation as the league! Riders here i've never heard of (due to being fairly inbred when it comes to speedway until recently), what if the Elite League was like this eh!

manchesterpaul Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Clocking the graphics on the top right-hand corner of the screen sees the LEAGUE POINTS being changed into MEETING RACE POINTS. This is crazy stuff......the tv clearly adding this meetings heat points to the league points, however, it's clear in many sources that only Esbjerg and Fjelsted can claim the championship. That scenario only fits in with the 4 points for a meeting win being added to the league points!!! Plus, i see the last heat was awarded 3 2 1 0 points. Who confused matters further a minute ago saying one heat was awarded 4 3 2 0 lol lol - ok change that to maniacal, hysterical, despairing lol-ing i for one give up, haven't a clue what's what. Surely someone must know what's going on??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) My understanding of the format is that league points are awarded for tonight's match as 4-3-2-0. Heat scoring is as normal, but the winners of the meeting get 4 league points, 2nd get 3, etc. Basically that means that Esbjerg have to come last in the meeting with Fjelsted winning for anyone but Esbjerg to win the league. Hope that helps. That's exactly what i posted last night, however, tv graphics are not conforming with that. Then again they made a right mess of the Danish individual championship first leg, as did varying official websites and media reports.

Indeed, all that I have been told suggests that it's just the final meeting positions that determine the league points....and that came from one of the managers at the meeting tonight, so I would hope he would know better than the TV company, but who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 The tv graphics showed the result as 3 2 1 0. when i looked at the last heat. Wait and see at the end of this heat to see if it's the 4 3 2 0 version mentioned earlier in the thread. Albeit that was referring to meeting points and not race points lol. Tell you what i'm ignring the scoring totally to save my brain from being fried. The score chart seems to be awarding point to each team randomly :) I gave up bothering to keep the score and just hope we see some good racing. Karpov is one tough mother. I thought he had broken his neck when he hit the deck and wasn't moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders here i've never heard of (due to being fairly inbred when it comes to speedway until recently), what if the Elite League was like this eh! Yes,apart from the two Ukrainian riders,who have been regulars anyway in the Holstebro side.But what is great is that say in the Holsted side they have 4 riders out ofthe 5 that have been with the team quite a long time.Only really Nicolai who is originally an Outrup rider is an outsider i would say,although Patrick did do a few seasons with Fredericia i remember.Porsing and Rasmus Jensen and also Claus Vissing + Henrik as well were long time Holsted riders.And Hans + Kildemand have done many years for Fjelsted and Bjarne the same with Holstebro.Only really Esbjerg have a fairly new team with no long termers.So you really can build up a relationship with the riders Edited September 12, 2012 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Maybe we and the tv are both right to an extent.....what if it's a case of (1) league points are carried over and changed into race points, (2) adding to that are the race points from tonight.......(3) PLUS the awarding of 4 3 2 0 for meeting positions! If so all i can say is bloody hell lol. Just had a glance at DW's card and he also refers to the 4 3 2 0 meeting points, alas no mention of how everything is fitting in. Then again only so much you can fit on a racecard and this Dansk League clearly needs a few volumes of print to figure out. I'm just watching the racing now and hoping that somehow or another if it's down to the excitement of a last heat decider it's been established who can win doing what.

yahoho Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 haha ive just given up - now just watching for the racing, I mean to be honest by all accounts its fairly clear who is going to win the league, so theres no real drama to be had from the scoreline anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the tv does have it wrong. Anyway enough! can't talk about it anymore it too stressful. I gonna have to relieve some stress by doing some crazy dancing like the start girls are, they very, very bouncy and active.

All in all, I guess trying to jump myself into a meeting with no understanding of the league or its workings, and then moaning because I dont understand is probably out of order, as it is only my fault I dont understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 It certainly is a poor way of doing it if only 2 of those there can win the league. Be more exciting if they started equal and were all battling for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe give a 4 3 2 1 start and go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) I did think it may happen and it has.....TV just changed their graphics to the meeting scoring. So does look like we can simply enjoy each race for what it is as Esbjerg likely to have the championship wrapped up.
