andout Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 The draw for the 2020 Monster Energy FIM Speedway of Nations Final in Lublin on October 16 and 17 has been confirmed. Champions Russia launch their title defence on day one in heat three against Great Britain – the side they defeated to clinch their first world title in the Grand Final in Wroclaw in 2018. Hosts Poland get their weekend underway against last year’s bronze medallists Australia in race two, with Denmark opening the meeting in heat one against the Czech Republic, who make their SON Final debut. Sweden’s first race comes against the Czechs in heat four. Last year’s top two Russia and Poland collide in heat 13 with some big battles to finish day one. Scandinavian rivals Sweden and Denmark meet in race 19. GB face off with Poland in heat 20 and Russia conclude their heats against Australia in race 21. Poland start day two with another battle with the Brits in heat one, with Russia opening their Saturday against the Czechs in race two. Sweden and Australia clash in heat three and Denmark get day two started against Poland in race four, before Britain continue a tough start to their night when they renew rivalries with Russia in heat five. Poland and Russia clash in race eight. All seven sides meet each other over 21 heats on both day one and day two, with the highest-scoring side over 42 races seeded straight through to the Grand Final at the end of day two. The second and third-placed nations on the score chart battle it out in the Grand Final Qualifier, with the winner facing the top-scoring country in the Grand Final for the SON world title. In a change to the scoring system for 2021, there will be four points for a heat win, with three for second, two for third and zero points for last place, a disqualification or failing to finish. As a result, there will be no drawn heats this year, with second and third place scoring a total of five points, giving the team that avoids last place a 5-4 heat win over a country taking first and fourth. This means second and third place in the Grand Final would see a team crowned world champions. MONSTER ENERGY FIM SPEEDWAY OF NATIONS FINAL DRAW: DAY 1: A: Czech Republic B: Denmark C: Poland D: Australia E: Great Britain F: Russia G: Sweden DAY 2: A: Poland B: Great Britain C: Russia D: Czech Republic E: Sweden F: Australia G: Denmark BSI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting, I would've thought that now a new venue has been announced and tickets on sale I though those of us who have had no email would be hearing something.

Good catch...I read right over that....my guess is they mean 2020......And yes they do seem to change the scoring every year 'cos they just can't get it right, I think last year you could have drawn heats as the scoring was the conventional 3-2-1-0 now its 4-3-2-1 so you can never have a drawn heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
