Mr Blobby Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 So the groups for the pairs have been made with Rye House, Newcastle and Redcar missing out on the event. Group A: Somerset, Glasgow, Ipswich, Scunthorpe and Berwick Group B: Edinburgh, Workington, Plymouth, Sheffield and Leicester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Can anyone explain how they come to choose the 10 teams taking part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Can anyone explain how they come to choose the 10 teams taking part? top 3 averages in each team at 1st may...I think, then any 2 from them 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 top 3 averages in each team at 1st may...I think, then any 2 from them 3. Yeah, that sounds about right, cheers... Shame, I reckon Allen/Mellgren would've been in with a chance of a podium place at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Surely it should use averages form this season? Rye House and Newcastle have pretty good top 2's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 As its a pairs event.... why do the top 3 averages have to count, why not the top 2? Or is that just plain stupidity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Rye House are not included because it would be a rain off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Same as last years 4TT when clubs missed out, surely someone could come up with a format that all teams would be included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drac Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Should Berwick be in the pairs? Considering the change of line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brujas Espanolas Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Surely it should use averages form this season? Rye House and Newcastle have pretty good top 2's A little difficult I would have thought, given that as of the cut-off date (1st May), only seven official fixtures had been run.

westhamboy66 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Takes five minutes to come up with a decent race formula that works. For example four groups of four pairs thirteen teams plus and additional three pairs from the top rated clubs using the top four averages rather than top three. Each pair rides each the other three pairs in their group which equates to twenty four qualifying races winners of each group to race in a semi final then a final. Total twenty seven races. Again Rye House with a top four of Garrity Allen Mellgren and Nelson are not included and all four of these riders would grace the event. For me the best meeting of the year but i'll not go without a team to support and i am sure that there are a lot of like minded supporters of the three clubs. Will be the same for the fours, almost as thought the BSPA don't want to run a successful event. Yes the knockers will say 32 riders will cost extra but how much dough will be lost at the turnstyles, My forty quid for a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't understand why the promoters don't see or take on board that fans want to see their teams in national events... Berwick are now tracking a pair that has the lowest average of any team in the league....qualified on a riders average whos rode about 10 of their last 50 meetings...Only in speedway Even drawing lots would be fairer as some teams are built totally differently yet are penalized for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick question, where do you put 32 riders and 64 bikes plus vans at Somerset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
