RS50 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 27 minutes ago, BWitcher said: You're right, it's clearly the reason the sport of speedway is struggling. Look at tennis.. you've got pts, game and sets.. you can win the vast majority of the pts and games yet lose the match. Far too complicated, especially for new fans. That sport is dead. And in tennis if you win the first rally you get 15 points, if you win the second you get a further 15, making your score 30, but win the third rally and it's only worth another 10. Anyone explain that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait to the media get hold of that .Wimbledon will empty next year what other sport would used that system ..Bad news for golf as well with scoring system they used to decide the Tour championship last week ..just hope that it was not on tv .

Book him Danno Just answer me this one question though... How many points are awarded for a draw in county cricket for the home team and for the away team? Team of lawyers? No, I simply copied and pasted it from the same place you did. Except I copied and pasted it all. Not just the first line to try and make myself look right. The answer to your question, it depends upon a whole range of factors as can clearly be seen from the rules, quite complicated, but if you were a fan you'd get your head round it soon. Fortunately in speedway it's very very simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have trouble, especially when the lighting isn't quite up to scratch at some tracks. And when a rider has washed all his helmet covers in the same load and the white and yellows have faded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy, you can do it on the fingers of one hand, unless you're Nicki Pedersen How is a new fan going to know the result of the first leg?

Next you'll be telling us speedway races can only finish 3-0 and quote "3pts for a race win" and ignore all the rest.

Bavarian Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Your points system in British League speedway is well and truely unique. I don't like it. No other speedway league in the rest of the world needs such a complex points system. I'd recommend You to adopt the Polish League system as much as is possible. It is simple and it works perfectly well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
