June01 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 One for SCB, or anyone else who wants to add something. We all know the referees make mistakes at times, but we are led to believe the SCB's results are the official ones, no matter what. Does that count even in this instance, where they have a completely different rider in the meeting? One who doesn't even ride EL? Will Steve Worrall now have "officially" ridden for King's Lynn in 2013? That's not to mention the wrong rider appearing in heat 15. http://www.scbgb.co.uk/pdf/results/Swindon%2002.05.13%20res.pdf And if they see this, can they change it, or is the ref's report final?

bigcatdiary Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) They can change their own official stats as I have known it done, think it might be Durno that needs to do it though. Edited May 7, 2013 by bigcatdiary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 They can change their own official stats as I have known it done, think it might be Durno that needs to do it though. At the end of a season,and sometimes during the season, there is a reconciliation between club statistics and the BSPA ones that have been published.

John Leslie Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Isn't the official result the copy of the actual programme that the referee signs across the middle of the racecard? Not a spreadsheet that someone at the office mistyped a name in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveallan81 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm so entrenched in the past I hadn't seen this resource before. That reconciliation meeting must be a real bunfight, I've seen stattos killed in fights over disputed N's and TS's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reconciliation meeting must be a real bunfight, I've seen stattos killed in fights over disputed N's and TS's I can only imagine it's great fun The emails I get and the head aches they cause for speedway-stats.co.uk is immense, heaven help anyone trying to keep the BSAP data correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 And it was Kennett in heat 15, not Kildemand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 in a similar vein, while at NA the other week for the Poole match my mate noticed the race times on speedway updates didn't match those given out at the stadium, not one single heat. Suspect this wasn't the updaters, but the updater taking the times off Sky who show their own version of race times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect this wasn't the updaters, but the updater taking the times off Sky who show their own version of race times At our televised meeting a couple of years ago, SKY issued the race times before the proper ones were telephoned to the announcer. No advance hint what would happen the night, SKY just did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
