arnieg Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Isn't this the same as 2007 to 2011, a system that 'died of embarrassment' when Leszno lost both legs of their play-off 1st round but still made it to the grand final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 The new U24 Ekstraliga competition will consist of 8 teams. There will be 16 rounds in 2 parts. At the end of the season we will know the Team U24 Ekstraliga Champion. In the main part of the season, each team will meet each opponent twice, once on their own track and on the opponent's track. The final part will be played in the knockout system with the participation of the two best teams (match and rematch). The U24 Ekstraliga schedule will be given in a separate announcement. In U24 Ekstraliga matches, teams will participate in teams of 6 to 8 players. Only U24 players from the Ekstraliga team on the match day may be entered into the team composition, except for players who obtained an individual average of 1,400 or more in the season preceding the season before the match. In the case of players competing in the lower leagues in the previous season, the average will be converted in accordance with the regulations. The current list of competitors entitled to start in U24 Ekstraliga will be published in the announcements. In each team with numbers 1 - 7 or 9 - 15, entries will have to be: at least 2 national competitors without international licenses at least 2 competitors with a license issued by a federation other than PZM Only youth runners (U21) may be entered with the starting numbers 6 and 7 as well as 14 and 15. National or foreign players can be entered with the number 8 for the visiting team and 16 for the host team. The players will not be able to take part in the PGE Ekstraliga match and the U24 Ekstraliga match on the same day. "Guests" players cannot be entered in the team composition. However, the rules of replacing a player will function in the competition: only with the first, second or third average of the reserve team (similar to PGE Ekstraliga, the sick leave will have to be issued for them for at least 15 days). The so-called ZZ will not apply to U21 players with numbers 6, 7, 8 and 14, 15, 16. The matches will be played according to the 15-speed system and the running table from the PGE Ekstraliga games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 The U24 league idea is an absolute belter and will be a great addition to the main league The play off idea is an absolute shocker and must have been given to them by Rob Godfrey or something. A team can finish 6th in a 8 team league, lose their first round of play off matches and still win the league! I don’t begrudge the top 6 qualifying but surely it has to be 3 v 6 and 4 v 5 with the winners then advancing to meet the 1st and 2nd placed teams. After the roaring success of the play offs this year it seems mad to change the system so drastically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the roaring success of the play offs this year it seems mad to change the system so drastically. I think the U24 league could be good also. Why does the team at the top of the league not get to choose their opponents? The team that finished 6th could be the only team to take the bonus point of the team in first so that team could be the last team they would pick (eg Peterborough didn't pick Sheffield this year after Sheffield won at Peterborough but that would have been the seeding if UK took that method)? There is no real advantage to being top other than having the choice of having the 2nd leg at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Any idea what day will be the race day for the U24 league if the riders can not race on the same day as their Ekstraliga teams? Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday is the choice for the Ekstraliga at the moment. Very fluent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
