Hodgy Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Nobody is usually bothered about programmes these days................................ unless a new race format is included in it! Of course the many will not turn out and show there support of our sport and its new trialed heat format. They will just stay at home moan about it and the reasons why it wasn't released to the general public. You said it, "the many". Sorry to bring the bad news, you are a minority.

500cc Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 do we even know how many heats there will be in a match? 10. This may increase to the scheduled 15 subject to finances. Due to the new cost management strategy, there is likely to be a break after Heat 10 whilst all the gate money is accumulated and the figures are analysed in Microsoft Excel. Excel will fire out the most cost efficient number of heats to be run. Fears that the generated number may well be 42 were alleviated when it was agreed this would be treated as a "Terminate Meeting With Immediate Effect" message with each home promoter allowed to make up their own excuse. Belle Vue were exempted from this regulation, with their opponents determining at what point they'd like to pack up for the evening. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Boy Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Looks reasonable to me. Some rider's races are unevenly spread eg. home numbers 5 & 3 and away number 3, but there was never going to be a perfect solution. I'm happy with look of this.

Soul Crew Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Great for fans, plenty of even match ups, some heatleaders pay packets are going to take a spanking though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Does that translate as fiddled GRW123? :shock: That's not a word I would use, but it has to be looked into. A good second string is virtually assured of 7/8pts a meeting whereas heat leaders have a far greater challenge. Come 2 months down the line, when the new scores come into play, some teams will be swapping the riding order, putting top riders down to 2nd strings and therefore racing against the draft riders... Because it was always seen as a mismatch, this was the main reason for introducing this new format in the first place. There as to be a calculation involved to compensate for the difficulties, the riding positions will transmit. Imagine a 3rd heat leader racing against top riders every race and getting only 3 or 4, he's not going to be too happy. I can imagine a lot of grumblings Edited February 28, 2014 by GRW123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
