Will probably be 3v6 4v5 then 1st v worst winner and 2nd v best winner in the semis or Possibly 2 groups of 3, race the other 2 teams in ur group h&a and top of each group race in final, think the young shield used to be like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpop Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Although I am a big Scott Nicholls fan , Hans Andersen is a good replacement . I might even make the effort to come & watch Hans ride despite making the vow to never return . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Zaine Kennedy happens to be the worst kept secret since Hans Andersen, it may be that Leicester will have a guest on Saturday, pending his arrival and all of the paperwork being completed; also, coming from Australia, would he have to quarantine for 10 days? Don't know what the rules are for sports people and whether or not he would be classed as elite to be waved straight through the door at Heathrow.

IronScorpion Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 If this 2nd signing has problems then will it have to be a NL guest not declared in a Premiership or Championship side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Hans Andersen is declared into the team line-up, Proctor and Bates will be removed and an eligible rider with an average of 4.01 or less will be declared; that rider will then be replaced by Kennedy in a new declaration as soon as he is available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked the 2020 rule book and I've copied and pasted those rules which it would appear will apply for 2021:- 2020 SCB Rulebook 012.1.1 Premiership & Championship Leagues Championship League, teams will meet on 2 occasions, 1 home and 1 away. The League will then split into a North South divide and those clubs will meet additionally on 2 occasions, 1 home and 1 away. The quarter finals will consist of the 3rd v 6th placed team and 5th v 4th placed team, the top 2 teams will go direct to the semi final. The team who finishes at the top will have the pick of the quarter final winner in the semi final. Can't see anywhere whether or not we will actually ride again against teams under the North/South divide this year with the season starting late, and whether or not it could possibly influence whether or not there'll be quarter finals.

That was the idea for 2020 but it never happened. The v2 Regs do not say of any changes but this year, a shortened version, is 11 meetings home & away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s 6… Just like it says in the rule book and said in the notes after the AGM, just because it used to be 4 doesn’t mean it’s not changed to 6 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
