Premier League Pairs Somerset 03/07/15


Recommended Posts

With two groups there has to be a final at least. The two semi's could be scrapped and the top team from each group faces each other over three heats perhaps, top scoring team from those heats takes the title.

 

Rye may actually qualify for this for a change. Eddie and NBJ could do quite well too.

 

It costs an arm and a leg so reducing heats is a non starter for me. Likewise nobody wants to meeting to drag on with nothing happening, so making riders do 3 on the trot at the end of the night is a bit of a non starter too. The system works perfectly well as it is, and allows also the even-ing out of potentially one group being stronger than the other.

 

The only way the system could be improved is by involving every team, but that isn't really possible.

Agree, I see no real issue with the format and having three on the trot would cause delays. It seems a way to remedy what happened in last year's final though. That said it wasn't a farce as some have said, it was speedway racing. Sometimes people get excluded.

What happens if one teams wins the first two finals? You have a pointless race left. The final is fine. If a rider crashes, well thats his own fault! The pairs is on of the few meetings where the format is fine, it works and doesn't need tinkering.

I agree format is final. Top Scorer winning bollocks is crap for the spectator. A team or rider (whatever the format) has a crap first ride or 2 and have no chance of winning they'll just give up, Were as when you have semi's and finals riders keep going to the very end as they never know they might sneak through.

Just hope they have extra beer and burger outlets, last year was an absolute farce, missing the racing having to queue for 20 minutes!

 

Hardly a great advert for such a big event, considering in previous years they have had a hogroast etc
