I just think it's wrong that when a team draws 1 team gets more league points than the other...

Can you imagine a sport where 1pt = 15, 2pts = 30... you wouldn't get that in any other sport. It would just be 'ridiculous'. Such a sport would be a laughing stock!

I like rugby’s ten minute sin bin for a yellow card. Do you think football should do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does confuse me is whether you can't read properly or can't think properly... I'm beginning to think it's probably both. I was just playing along with you. The reality is, of course you can remember it. It's clearly something that's an issue with you hence you harping on so much on this thread. As many do when they have no argument, they make something up to back it up.. with some its the laughter in the pub, you've invented that you can't remember it as your reasoning behind not liking it.. when that's all you can come up with, it speaks volumes.

BWitcher Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Can you imagine a sport where the player who scores the most pts doesn't win... Ridiculous! Never be taken seriously by the media or the public in general. Oh wait... I think that is far more of a vagary than an extra pt for the away team in speedway.

I genuinely can't remember, probably because more often than not these days it's not an issue a lot of matches tend to be easy home wins.

In Speedway it's league points in the other sports mentioned they're bonus points, for reaching set goals during a match It isn't fact. They are league pts as well, or are you claiming they don't count in the LEAGUE TABLE.. Why do you have to make things up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier than you because I can remember the difference between 6 and 7. FACT: You are wrong FACT: Other sports have games where the away team can score more for a draw than the home team FACT: Those points count towards the LEAGUE PTS regardless of how often you try and claim they don't.

I don't need to come back with anything. Prove to me that the extra pts earned, for whatever the set criteria may be (rugby, cricket, speedway they all have their own criteria), don't count towards the league pts total in those other sports. Do that, and I'll hold my hands up and accept you were right all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midland Red Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 1 hour ago, BWitcher said: It suited those with a bigger home track advantage. I never really had a problem with it, but if you ask most what it's purpose was the answer will be to keep interest in a meeting alive (score wise) for longer.. Well the current system does that far better. Where they shot themselves in the foot is scrapping the extra pt a home team got for winning by more than 6.. now 46-44 is as good as 49-41. The reasoning being home fans supposedly went home unhappy if they missed out on the extra pt after winning a meeting.... Gotcha!

It would be "ridiculous" if bonus points didn't count. I'm still waiting for you to acknowledge that the same amount of points are awarded for a draw... It's there written in their rules.. but of course you can't read properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby Union: 4 points for a win. 2 points for a draw. 1 "bonus" point for winning whilescoring at least 3 more tries than the opponent. 1 "bonus" point for losing by no more than 8 points (the value of a converted try under the law variations used during those seasons). Cricket: A team is awarded 16 points for a victory, with both sides earning eight points for a tie and five points apiece if a match is drawn.

Baldyman Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 So looking at those rules you don't get a bonus point for drawing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
