Happy Hunter Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I see that the SCB are holding a series of Seminars for officials, including team managers. Presumably the 2019 Regulations will be considered but there is no sign of them on the SCB website yet. Does anyone know when they will be published? I need to know if the heat format has changed so that, if necessary, I can up date my score chart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yes. Time is running out. Only around 4 weeks until the first meetings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time to drop in a rule that forces a re-declare of a team at crazy late notice and probably some biased addition to machinery that will line the pockets of an insider.

The heat format hasn't changed, and is the same across all 3 leagues. The only different heat format needed is for the new Supporters Cup competition, which is the old 13 heat format plus a heat 14 nominated by the supporters via a twitter vote, and heat 15 nominated by the team managers.

Brave new world but surely a twitter vote is grossly open to abuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems voting will be open from the interval (after heat 10) via twitter. You don't have to be at the meeting to vote (so everyone in the country can nominate Poole's 2 lowest scorers for heat 14), then the team manager nominates for heat 15, choosing from everyone except those who were in heat 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 SCB Regs are usually made public for the1st March each year. Promoters, riders, officials will have had advance notice of any major changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also an interesting introduction "In the NDL, only a rider who is 18 years old and under may be absent for any reason providing 3 days notice is given." Reading this means that pre-arranged holidays, family BBQ's and other miscellaneous reasons do not qualify? Also including the inability to get time off work?

What i was getting at is where do riders over 18 stand? If they are missing for reasons other than injury or doubling up it looks like up to 3.00 point replacements?

That’s sounds like a suggestion from Jim Lawrence, the new SCB Chairman Nice to see some common sense being applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They slash the points limit ridiculously low because they want to bring in the young 2.00 kids.... ...and then in the next breath they bring in TS, so one of those young kids is going to have to give up a ride to the No.1, whereas on the other side their youngsters are going to come up against the opposing No.1 who can now have a 6th ride. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 The top leagues should be doing what they did last year, and try to copy the NL. The one thing I really hate is IRR. Leads to tactical injuries. (Although if a rider is injured and withdrawn in a crash where an opponent is excluded, then in my opinion the guilty rider should sit out the rest of the meeting as punishment.)

Sings4Speedway Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Whilst they were largely pointless anyway as most clubs failed to use them the introduction of IRR virtually kills any sensible use of number 8's in the NL. This facility was generally put in place to enable extra opportunities for breakthrough riders, by removing it is another step away from the Development tag the NL has. There is really no clear direction in which this league is supposed to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
