someone Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, Grachan said: Yes. So frustrating. Just a load of guess work. They really need someone who has a clue on this. I had no idea that Magic was third and neither, it seens, did they. It is like two weeks ago when I was shouting at the TV that Zmarzlik was champion as soon as Madsen was excluded. It is no that difficult to keep on top of, but commentators should have someone doing that for them with all the details they need on a screen in front of them. As for the rules for breaking the tie for the top size, if Discovery did one thing competently this year it was having had them on their web site all season long. https://fimspeedway.com/rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Well done to Lambert and Bewley for finishing the six, fantastic stuff. It's got to the stage where we are disappointed if they don't reach the semis, they have both developed fantastically well this year. As for next year I don't see any surprises in the picks, the two Russians for Doyle and Michelsen if they are allowed back in but I doubt it myself and I think Nilsson for PP will probably be it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 11 minutes ago, NeilWatson said: There should be a run-off between Bewley and Dudek: In case of Riders involved in a tie on the Final Overall SGP Classification, at the end of the SGP Series, the following will apply: 1. Run-off for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.2. Run-off for 6th place, which is the last qualifying place for the following year’s SGP Series. 3. For all other placings Precedence will be given to the Rider having the greatest amount of SGP 1st place results, Followed by 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on in the current season. If the Tie still persists precedence will be given to the Rider with the highest Final Classification at the last round of the current SGP season. So your saying it's not just the SCB/BSPA that don't adhere to their own rules then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you put it like that it shows how great this season has been for Bewley and Lambert.. Two Russian superstars or two truly world class riders have places "up in the air", whilst both these lads are already nailed on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I’m sure under previous organisation they use to show an ‘as it stands’ for top3, top6 etc was poor that tonight from Discovery . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, David Rowe did it perfectly in the closing stages of the Euros last year whilst also commentating on the races. There is a lot of talk time between races on this Eurosport coverage. Plenty of time to go through that sort of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just falls down when the boys behind the scenes don't communicate everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
