Somerset Vs Rye House 25/03/16 League Cup


Recommended Posts

..and to think Rye could have signed Rasmus Jensen. He was obviously available as he is now a late replacement for Ty Proctor at Workington.

What on Friday you mean?? It was League cup so isn't permitted!

That's what I thought. Scunthorpe used it today at home to Sheffield.

Was at Scunthorpe today and its been confirmed it cam be used during group stages

I wonder if Peter Schroek knows?

(From speedway Updates)

Heat 10: AUTY, Howarth, Bates, Klindt... 6-3 26-37

Comments: Auty on a tactical ride.

Rule 18.2.3 looks like it may have confused some people. It reads to me like tactical rides can't be used in the semi's and final, but allowed in the group stages. It's been poorly written IMO

Is that surprising with Speedway rules? :lol::lol:

That reads perfectly acceptable to me - that TRs are not allowed. If they are allowed though, someone needs shooting for writing that!

The ref at Scunny was obviously confused by it

Agree the presentation above is ambiguous.

 

Re last Season, the TR was permitted in matches where the overall result was not decided upon the aggregate score, namely League & League Cup Mini-League matches.

 

Probably intended the same for 2016, and imo the Scunny vs Sheffield interpretation was correct.

 

The BSPA/SCB should however issue public clarification asap of what exactly the ruling on TRs is, to avoid further inconsistency.

meaning the heat format for the Premier League Cup is as 18.9.1 and TR is not applicable. for that format.

 

sure this will roll on until an official statement is made

Was also very confusing at rye last sat when it was announced that tac rides were not allowed at all in this competition

To be fair that was my understanding and the change to the PLC rules this year where the ""TR are not allowed" was moved from 18.2.3 semi finals and final to 18.2.4 which lists the heat format and no TR just seems to confirm it.

 

It's written exactly the same in the KOC which of course doesn't have TR at all.

 

It's yet another complete balls up with regards to the rules.

It's not ambiguous. People are just not reading the rules correctly. TR's are not allowed in the PLC. If they had intended for them ONLY NOT to be used in the semis and final then rule 18.2.4 would have to be 18.2.3.1 and would be a sub rule of 18.2.3 but it's not.

 

Scunthorpes use of a TR was wrong.

Agreed. As written, there is no ambiguity. T/R definately NOT allowed in League Cup competition.

 

Mind you, I wonder if whoever rewrote the rule book actually meant to say that!
