Guest compost Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I'm sure I've seen somewhere an individual meeting which needed a 5 rider run-off to determine the winner. They all scored 10 points. Just don't recall the event sadly (advancing age). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Was that at a GP challenge a few years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it have been a handicap meeting like the Olympique at Wolverhampton? That tended to have compacted scoring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked - the Dow Diamond Trophy at the start if 1975 ended with 5 riders tied on 12 points. 4 man run off with Jim McMillan eliminated on fastest times. Except they made a mistake on the times (which was only realised after the run-off) and John Louis, who won the run-off, should have been the one placed 5th. Matters righted by a wee bit extra in Jimmy Mac's pay packet. Edited October 7, 2020 by salty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of having a series of races they just stuck all 5 in a run-off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Five riders tied on 12 points in the 1981 Continental Final, although that was the amount that qualified for Wembley. They still had a series of run-offs which Egon Muller won from Ales Dryml, Edward Jancarz, Jiri Stancl and Zenon Plech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Okay, very very unlikely but statistically possible. If the first 19 races resulted in all four riders crossing the line together, they would all have scored the same number of points (1.5?). So whoever wins the last race outright wins the meeting.

I've only just managed to get all mine after eight years in storage, so I feel your pain! If I come across it, I will post it on here.
