WEDNESDAY AFTER 2/3. THE PLACE - HERE IS THE SCENARIA

 

There is great excitement about who ends as 2 and 3 on Wednesday evening when the base series ends. Second place gives direct qualification to the DM final, while 3rd place gives home ground advantage in the semi-finals.

The matches on Wednesday evening are Slangerup-Holsted and Team Fjelsted-Esbjerg, and it is the latter who decides it all.

Let's just scratch the scenarios for Wednesday evening - first, just the position in the Metal Speedway League:

 

1 Slangerup Speedway Club, 11 Matches, 22 Points

2 Region Varde Elitesport, 12 matches, 18 points

3 Team Fjelsted, 11 matches, 16 points

4 Esbjerg Vikings, 11 matches, 15 points

5 Holsted Tigers, 11 Matches, 13 Points

6 Holstebro Elite, 12 Matches, 10 Points

7 GSK League, 11 matches, 5 points

 

The bonus points are given to the best mutual team over two matches, and at the same time act as a tiebreaker by punctuality. Although Region Varde has taken the bonus points against both Team Fjelsted and Esbjerg Vikings, there are a number of outcomes in the game Wednesday evening.

Region Varde is currently in second place and direct DM qualifier, but can not be worse than number three, and in that case, thus gaining the host of the semi-finals with which there are financial income.

Team Fjelsted is currently 3, but can easily be 2's and go directly to the DM finale, 3's and host the semifinal, and even 4s and some sort of buck despite qualifying for the semifinals.

Esbjerg Vikings has the fewest possibilities and stands in the paradoxical situation that the team can not finish 3's, but in turn, they can both run directly in the finale as 2's or stay fourth.

Team Fjelsted won 16 points, 51-35 in the first match against Esbjerg Vikings, so these are the possible scenarios and the outcome of them after they have run their second match on Wednesday evening:

1) Team Fjelsted wins the match: thus secures 2 match points and 1 bonus points and takes the final direct DM final with 19 points, while Region Varde Elitesport will be 3's with 18 points and Esbjerg Vikings 4's with 15 points.

2) Draw: Region Varde retains 2nd place and direct final qualification by 18 points, Team Fjelsted gets 1 match point and 1 bonus points and becomes 3s also with 18 points (but least against Region Varde Elitesport) while Esbjerg Vikings becomes 4 ' is 16 points.

3) Esbjerg wins the match by less than 16 points: Region Varde retains 2nd place with 18 points, Team Fjelsted gets bonus points and becomes 3s by 17 points, while Esbjerg gets two match points and becomes 4s with 17 points, but worst in opposition to Team Fjelsted.

4) Esbjerg wins the match by more than 16 points: Region Varde retains second place by 18 points, but best part

Tonight's meeting between Slangerup and Holsted is off. It is not possible to re-stage it so it has been decided that it will end 42-42.

As far as I can see the Danish league for this semi are not using the match points system of starting with these points depending on the finishing position(3-6) in the regular season.So it looks as if it`s a straight contest with the top 2 scorers at the end going on to the final next Wednesday- where we might see the match points in operation !!!!!!

How do I get to watch TV2 Sport? Is this available online?

It is available online but it is geoblocked outside Denmark and it also requires a subscription. There usually aren't any streams available.

Lets hope Lasse Schmidt is around and uploads it to youtube- he missed the last TV match a couple of weeks ago.

Looking at the Holsted news for today it names Jason Jorgensen as the no.5 for Fjelsted and has a different line-up for Esbjerg

 

1. Rene Bach (

2. Michael Palm Toft ©

3. Tim Sørensen (D)

5. Matias Nielsen (D)

League debut for Matias Nielsen,who rides for Esbjerg in the lower division

Drama in the semi-finals as Esbjerg are not allowed to use Rune Holta.They considered pulling out of the meeting,but say they owe it to their sponsors and the municipality

 

 

"We have three riders, all of which are called for training in Poland and therefore can not drive (Piotr Protasiewicz, Artur Czaja and Oliver Berntzon)
