Race Formats

[sandking072]

Hi all.

 

I'm currently compiling a list of meetings from the 1979 season. Would anyone be able to help me with the race format for the the British League Knockout Cup in that year? I seem to be struggling quite a bit with it.

 

Many thanks.

Wouldn't that just have been the standard 13-heat format?

Hi. Thanks for the reply. It was an 18 heat format. But not the test match format although they were 8 man teams.

Wouldn't it be the "BL 18-heat Match" format listed via the same link?

This has 18-heats and 8-man teams..

Yes, that's exactly the one I was looking for. It works perfectly. Thank you very much. It's greatly appreciated.

Cheers, chaps, no problem. I highly recommend the Coventry section on Researcher for format-related queries, a tremendous collection of detailed files presented in 'race card' form.
