In the event of two or more riders having the same number of points? Can anyone think of anything? The one with the cleanest bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 9 minutes ago, Jaizer said: That's the farce, if someone had 9 that would've been it, champion crowned no re-run and they would be off to Cardiff. Because they've not thought of a rule should this situation occur they've come up with some total cop and begged the FIM for help That is not what was said. The said they had to get the FIM to confirm Ellis as the wildcard for Cardiff, not decide it for them. But there is no rule that would be fair to decide a meeting in this situation where you have a three-way tie on points and count back, and where they have not all raced each other. But they have thought up a rule, you either draw lots or a rerun. For me if you have the option of a rerun there is no other decision to be made. As for the wildcard, maybe they did draw lots? All we know is they said they chose Ellis and the players agreed. The farce is how long it took them to tell people what was happening, because they did not need to keep everyone else hanging around while they decide on who will go to Cardiff then get it confirmed. We could all have read the tweet or whatever later, I doubt anyone in Manchester cared that much about hearing it over the PA. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8gdp Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Because the meeting as been abandoned and no result called Ellis is still British champion so he goes to Cardiff . Not ideal I grant you but he was unlucky last year with Cardiff being cancelled but very lucky this year pity it took so long for someone to inform the fans .us speedway supporters were also unlucky tonight because before the rain there was some bloody good racing .one day i am going to have to pop across the Pennines to a meeting 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve had an extra half a hour’s worth of pints and hot dog sales since the last race, so just put everyone out of their misery! Exactly there was no point in keeping people hanging around, it was obvious there would be no more racing so apart from hoping people would spend more money (which they didnt around me) it was pointless, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 The Biggest crime was 40 odd minutes poncing about and telling the paying public beggar all while it was siling it down with no possible chance of a conclusion 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Some of the reactions on here are just brilliant!!! Imagine thinking Harris deserves another go at a GP!! Kelvin and Crump were making me want to throw up in heat 1 with the Harris love in!! He wouldn't score a point at Cardiff! Brennan can feel a little hard done by but his time will come and he will surely be No17 Good decision on Ellis and really the only logical choice despite some idiots on here.. people calling him a scumbag need to take a long look in the mirror 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmarsbar2 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 3 minutes ago, Panthers99 said: Tickets sold for the meetings, tracks not being available later on in the season, volunteers giving time away for the meeting already, food trucks rented, first aid booked, riders flights and travel already booked, holiday season so tracks wanting to take advantage. Probably more reasons aswell. Not everything revolves around the British Championship All of the above if meetings are cancelled because of weather. I'm sure they would rather have a weeks notice than rained off on the day. Belle Vue are at home next Monday so everything will be in place to stage a meeting.

Track conditions would be called into question re fairness.. Although, once again, they shouldn't have to discuss such things as the rules should clearly be defined... Ridiculous that the commentary team cannot inform the viewers what the rules are of the pinnacle of the sport in the UK, as no one seemed to know... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Based on what we saw last Week in SON think Brennan should have been given the Wildcard ,he is the future.Best of luck to Ellis though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
