Were The Play-offs Decided By Reserves?


Recommended Posts

Cant believe the title of this thread.

What is different in any previous year??

A high scoring reserve has always helped teams into the play offs and a team with one wins the Final.

Nothing new to report here!

 

 

 

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Garrity becomes a Bees asset especially if the draft continues and he is in it.

 

Not according to rumours, but time will tell i guess.

In previous seasons it was a points limit so was down to the team how they set up their side .

 

As proved the team who went with a reserve who changed often was very good as proved by Swindon when they had 4 different riders interchanging in 2012.

 

This season the draft just wasn't fair & that was proved by the top 4 or 5 including Lewis Blackbird.

Well, there's one BIG difference in that in previous years a "high scoring reserve" would move up into the main team and therefore not be able to have 7 rides and also replace others in the top 5 who were out of form on the night. This seasons fast track idea has been a decent one but its been wrong that the reserves cannot be promoted into the main team if their average justifies it. Basically as the title of this thread says, reserve strength has decided which 4 teams got into the play offs, which surely shouldn't be the main driving factor behind speedway racing?
