IainB Posted Monday at 12:51 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:51 PM So we're now in the situation whereby we have a ridiculous scoring system because the winner of the GP MUST have the most amount of points but that winner could have finished 10th in the qualifying heats! Utter madness! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter madness! i'm sure BZ will adjust his strategy accordingly ,I can only assume it is aimed at him as the rest of the riders a fairly evenly matched IMO.

With the new rules Zmarzlik could've won the British GP, finished 10th & missed the semi finals, next year he'd still be in the meeting.

norbold Posted Tuesday at 11:25 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:25 PM I've got a good idea. After the 20 heats, all 16 riders qualify for the quarter finals, the winner of each race goes through to the final. That way, the rider who finishes last after 20 heats can still have a chance of winning the Grand Prix. Sounds fair to me. i was thinking of suggesting this to the powers that be, but decided against it as they will probably adopt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter madness! I'm not sure what they're trying to achieve with this change. On the one hand, I suppose it guarantees that the top scorer in the qualifying heats is in the final, with the first gate pick, which is fairer than having to qualify through the semis. On the other hand, going through 20 heats, just to eliminate 6 riders, seems a step too far for me. If they want to award GP points based on finishing position, rather than points scored in the heats, perhaps they could go back to the old 'A' final, 'B' final system. Top 4 qualify for the 'A' final, 4 to 8 for the 'B' final etc. At least that would prevent anyone outside the top 4 point scorers from the heats winning the GP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago If they want top two in final just have a semi with 3 to 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerToft Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Who remember their presentation back in Torun 2021 where they talked about this "new era of speedway". One thing they mentioned was that they had no intention on changing the format. 'The format is already perfect'. Here we are few years later and now it's completely ruined... good job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
