chopper Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 We'll done to young Ben, I for one hope that he kicks on next year and can get a PL spot at a track he likes , and I can't see why that wouldn't be Rye.

Ben91 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 On the topic of meeting format, the best rider on the night should be winner. If Morley had then had to face a semi and a final he may have not won the meeting and that would have been incredibly unfair. If riders are tied there is the run off system which works fine.

waco Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) I think the majority of posters on here agree that the fairest format is the 20 heat top scorer wins...with run offs for tied places of course...The semi,s and final formats were brought in because the powers that be think it creates more excitement at the end of a meeting..However it is not as fair,,,it's a bit like the end of season play off,s for the league champions,,same reasoning applies?? I know which I prefer in both circumstances and it ain't the semi,s and finals or play off,s Edited September 28, 2015 by waco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iand Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I noticed the other night. Kent individual meeting 12 man line up and then 2 semis. What incentive is there to race hard in the heats, you only had to get 8th to qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incentive is that it's a cheap format for the promoter to run a 'fixture filler' meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Tbf it's the only way to run a 15 Heat format for 12 riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) The 12 rider format as has been said above is the cheap way to run an individual and invariable consists of a poor cheap line up,,result is usually a rubbish meeting..with an equally poor attendance which it deserves ...In my opinion Edited September 28, 2015 by waco 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
