Col Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 How messed up is Swedish Speedway. If Smederna win the league & Piraterna are relegated The bookies, if betting on speedway is allowed in Sweden will be aghast. I still don't get how the playoffs are decided. Unless the league table on the SGP site is wrong. Have Dackarna & Lejonen broken rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the league table on the SGP site is wrong. Have Dackarna & Lejonen broken rules? Top 2 teams qualified direct for the semis. The next four raced a preliminary round with Dackarna and Lejonen losing. So six teams qualified for the finals and four matches had been raced before tonight.

Unless the league table on the SGP site is wrong. Have Dackarna & Lejonen broken rules? It is like this (like Rob says): Elit Vetlanda -------> direct qualified to Semi final, chooses opponent (from qf winners) & if they want to start home or away Masarna ------------> direct qualified to Semi final, chooses if they want to start home or away Dackarna -----------> qualified to quarter final, chooses opponent (team 5 or 6) & if they want to start home or away Lejonen -------------> qualified to quarter final, chooses if they want to start home or away Smederna ----------> qualified to quarter final Rospiggarna -------> qualified to quarter final Indianerna ----------> finished for the season Piraterna ------------> relegated, unless Allsvenskan team chooses not to accept promotion in which case Piraterna are offered to stay. QF, SF an F are all decided over two meetings. The only wrong about the SGP Swedish league table is that they uses points difference instead of the correct points quota system.

Ghostwalker Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Cmore is showing Smederna - Masarna tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) 4688 in Rospiggarna 4595 in Masarna Dave, a question please. tonight the TV guide shows that the speedway starts at 6.30pm on freesports. The meeting in Sweden starts shortly after 6pm. What will be shown ? will coverage join "live" at heat 4(approx.) or will it be " delayed live" from heat 1. I also suppose it could be affected by what time the cricket finishes. Edited September 13, 2017 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Goddard Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 No Berntzon is a surprise after last night. A change too for Smederna according to SVEMO - Walasek in for Karpov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 No Berntzon is a surprise after last night. A change too for Smederna according to SVEMO - Walasek in for Karpov. Berntzon is riding and Walasek riding is according to the declared lineups. The weather situation in Vetlanda doesn't look that good. A weather system is moving up over the country and will reach Vetlanda within a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetlanda facebook page The team has announced a change for the evening's match, where Filip Hjelmland is replaced by Oliver Berntzon. "What we are facing tonight is a challenge, where the start may be delayed and the conditions on the track will not necessarily be the best," says Fredrik Staaf, and continues: "It would not be fair to Philip as to how it could come to look out there, while Oliver, for his part, has the experience and has been in the seat earlier, "concludes Fredri Are you able to answer post 85 yet Dave ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Goddard Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Good news - I have been told the live cricket that was to precede the speedway has been called off, so we go ahead live on Freesports at normal time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Ta for the confirmation Ghosty - how is the weather looking in Eskilstuna? Raining now. a smaller area with rain will pass by judging by the radar images. The weather system at Vetlanda will reach here eventually but who knows how long it will take and how much of of it that will be remaining when it gets here. https://www.smhi.se/vadret/nederbord-molnighet/radar-blixt#colorblind=false,layerselected=5min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
