Although they probably will race the white line at your place when that's not the place to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Looks like we are going out of the cup with Lakeside winning at Ippo..thought we might go through as best runners up..until I just checked and found the other 2 groups have 4 teams in each group and we only have 3 which is not really fair.

Pretty sure it's done on average match points per matches played - so we still have a chance. Edited April 21, 2018 by Noodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it the best runner up is decided on a % basis of available match points in their group. If that results in a tie I assume average race points per completed meeting comes into play.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 It means Boro are in a strong position so long as they beat the Witches 9 points 4 meetings ave 2.25 From the 4 team groups this would require 3 home wins 1 away win and 2 losing points to have a higher ave Given that kind of record would normally top a group its unlikely a second placed team will be as a good as that At least it means the Witches still have something to ride for on Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking on....race points won't feature as it's not possible to have a tie for 'best second' based on match points (unless the second placed club in each of the four-team groups finish with the same match points).
