Col Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Question for Oxford fans. In the Joey Beauchamp bar there are two photos from the 80's. One is Nielsen, Nilsson & Butler who is the other Robin The other is assume a Sheffield rider leading Andy Grahame. Who is the rider in the Tigers race jacket. Kelly Moran?

SharpenRake Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Who 'wrote' the rules? Oxford didn't meet Redcar so let's use a different rule from the one used to determine the other semi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brother ain't too shabby. Why not use Zach, Kyle or Anders at least those three are actual racers. Anders is at Cardiff Zach is spannering for Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the teams rode against each other then the winners of that heat would go through (which is fairer than a coin toss?) Redcar and Oxford didn’t race again each other so it was a coin toss. Seems fair enough to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sidney Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 From the regulations 016.2.2 Racing Format To be confirmed. 016.2.3 Racing Regulations Starting offences for the 1st offence, the offending rider will be handicapped as per these Regulations. For a 2nd offence for the same rider then that rider will be disqualified. Where there is a tie for the semi final qualification, a two way tie will be decided by the result in which the pair met, highest score. If more than a two way tie or the pair have not met then the team with the highest scoring heat results (7-2, 7-0, 6-3, 5-4, 4-5, 3-6) will qualify and if still not resolved, then by ballot. Regardless of helmet colours each pair can switch programmed gate positions between themselves. Heat points for this event will be 4, 3, 2, 0. In the case of an abandonment and the event is not re-staged the result will be taken from the completion of heat 9 as this is where all teams had completed the same number of heats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) There's been some really great speedway after a dodgy start and despite some dodgy rules and refereeing! If only the sport was administered properly... Edited September 1, 2023 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
