manchesterpaul Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) There are no other quarter finals. Top 2 straight through to the semi finals 3rd rides 6th 4th rides 5th and the winners go into the Semi-Finals Sorry but that's wrong i'm afraid. "Elite League consists of 8 teams in a basic series comprising 14 rounds where all teams meet at home there. Basic Series 6 best-placed teams advance to Race Off. The team that comes in last place in Regular Season relegated to Allsvenskan season 2014. Race Off: Teams placed 1st and 2nd in Regular Season goes directly to the Semifinal. Quarterfinal: Teams who ranks third in the Regular Season, choose which of the fifth and sixth-placed teams in the Regular Season one wants to meet in Quarterfinal 1. Teams who ranks fourth in the Regular Season meet remaining teams in the Quarter-final second The best placed teams in the Regular Season, choose whether to run the first game at home or away. Semifinal: The winner of the Regular Season, choose which of the victorious teams in the quarter finals they would face in Semifinal 1. Runner-up in the Regular Season meet remaining teams in the semifinal second The best placed teams in the Regular Season, choose whether to run the first game at home or away. Final: Semi-final winners meet in the final in a best of two games where best-placed teams in the Regular Season, choose whether you want to run the first leg at home or away." according to canal digital the live matches are tue and wed and not both on tue. this is why im confussed It's probably a repeat of the day before despite it being on the 'live' channel. So you are not confused any more Q/F 2nd legs both on Tuesday 27th August S/F 1st legs Tuesday 3rd September 2nd leg Wednesday 4th September final 1st leg Tuesday 17th September 2nd leg Wednesday 18th September I Second R&R, that's what i've had listed in my calendar for quite a while.

manchesterpaul Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 TV meeting racecard AVAILABLE NOW FREE MiniMax Racecard Elitserien Quarter-Final 2nd Leg Indianerna Vs Ikaros Smederna Tuesday, 27th, August, 2013. Unlike the Danish league team line-ups are unanimous over a multitude of sites and media outlets. Fingers crossed there are no injuries today and this evening for those riders racing in the UK. Weather isn't supposed to be a problem tomorrow. Not sure what time or if i'll be back home tonight as i'm toddling off for the BIG United match. However, if there are any changes through injuries i'll update the racecard in the morning (or in the early hours lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aslo Jacob Thorssell have confirmed that he has a broken arm, he will undergo surgery today and will miss the rest of the season. Ouch re the latter and thanks for info, i've just got home from last night's United match it's 10am here (i'm sober by the way lol, just stayed over elsewhere). Ok i off on a trawl off local Swedish media and elsewhere to try and find if there is any news of what they are doing regards the TV match potential change with Zetters. UPDATE 10:40 I'll leave the racecard as is, I've looked at quite a lot of local Swedish media and if he isn't fit it seems they are planning to use rider replacement. There is a report saying he should ride, however that was posted at 23:45 last night and some of this mornings articles refer to likely rider replacement. On a sporting note having to use rider replacement with him being (i think) 6th (5th in declared team) in Smederna's averages that is not a good thing is is Ghostwalker? or was he riding like a 6th placed rider anyway? Updating with a look at the averages i guess they need him to race. 9.50 Grigory Laguta 7.86 Andreas Jonsson 7.28 Peter Karlsson 6.41 Krzysztof Buczkowski 6.07 Magnus Zetterstrom 4.17 Linus Eklof 4.00 Oliver Berntsson 7.06 Kenni Larsen 4.18 Simon Wozniak UPDATE 11am Smederna's website is carrying a story timed thirty minutes ago where they relay a telephone conversation with Magnus. He is in considerable pain indeed but is hoping to ride using a combination of pain killers and tape. I understand he is visiting his doctors at 1pm Swedish time as well. His shoulder is swollen and currently he can't touch the handle bar! Rider Replacement is indeed plan B according to the team coach.

Ghostwalker Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) He's 5th in the averages in the lineup, Eklöf and Berntzon have lower average. If R/R Eklöf, Berntzon and Buczkowski will take Zorro's heat. Either of the reserves will take two heats unless tactical substitute is used. I think the have to nominate one of the reserves for the R/R heat and then replace the reserve with a TS if Smederna is 6p behind. Zorro have a doctors appointment at 13.00, but at the moment it seems that he won't be able to ride. In anyway I don't see how we could possibly win tonight regardless if Zorro is riding or not. He obviously doesn't feel good and if he rides I don't think he'll be able do 100% and the reserves are to weak to take his place.

I like your advance planning regards the TS and hope your team manager is as on the ball. To be fair Zorro did say in his interview he won't ride if he feels he can't do himself justice. I think your acceptance of inevitable defeat in the tie from the the minute last week's match ended is now actually becoming quite realistic. However, what is the likely mindset of Smederna's riders? are they battlers who will give it a go, or did they like yourself presume all hope ended with only a four point lead last week?

Ghostwalker Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I don't know, Laguta seems to be the "No surrender" type of rider. I think most of them just focus on winning their next heat. Just like any other rider. Its hard to make any conclusions from two weeks ago when the last met at Sannahed since that meeting didn't really have any importance. I think Laguta will do his job, but question is the for the rest of them, PK is pretty stable around 7-10p/meeting (his average is 7,93p/meeting) The others are to up and down, AJ wasn't particular good last week and needs to scored 12p+ if Smederna are going to have a chance. Smederna needs 44 points. And if you break it down for each rider this is what they need to score; Laguta 13p AJ 10p PK 8p Buczek 7 Zorro (or R/R) 5p EKlöf+Berntzon 1p together, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there may certainly be some hope that Berntsson and Eklof get more than one point. Laguta and Jonsson could always be capable of an absolute stormer. Mind you 13 points for Laguta would be hard to improve on. Going on to the two weakest riders in more detail and the reasons that they may get more than one point between them. Whilst Linus Eklof has only one race win to my knowledge in the Elitserien this year he has piled up the second places here and there. I hadn't realized until looking back just now that Oliver Bentsson has a number of wins. His best meeting, albeit at home, was scoring 3,3,0,3 against Vastervik. He also scored well away from home in Kumla scoring 2,0,2,3 in that contest. In the very recent fixture away to Indianerna in Kumla in the reserve races Berntsson got a second place in the first one, then in heat 11 he won the race. Both races against the exact same riders as today's opponents. Eklof failed to score. I take your point that it wasn't a do or die meeting for the home team but all riders want to be paid for as many points as possible so they wouldn't exactly be not trying. Maybe Jonsson and Berntsson could be the keys for Smederna in that if they excel it gives a great base for the team to pull off a surprise victory. Both teams finished the season just two points apart and pretty much the same race points for and against. Who amongst the fourteen (or thirteen today) want it more? (Smederna coach now quoted as Zetterstrom only one chance in a hundred of riding today.....come on Bentsson have the meeting of your career so far Smederna needs you) Edited August 27, 2013 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
