IronScorpion Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 This is the Championship Shield, which is a mini league. T/S do not apply in KO Cup or 2 legged play offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And somebody said last night that you couldn’t use tac subs in this competition... don’t know how true that is, maybe they just couldn’t persuade anybody to have the extra ride It's a league so Tac Subs are allowed. In this case I think Newcastle felt it was more important for everybody to get as much track time as possible since it was essentially Newcastle's practise, and a tac sub wouldn't have made much, if any, difference. if we'd only been 6 to 8 points down at, say, heat 11 then maybe a tac sub would have been used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Especially when riders are rusty through no practice, the last thing that a rider or a team wants is to be denied the opportunity to get some practice in. The meeting was lost early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
