Just caught the final on a Polish free feed. Doesn't look like I missed much and this confusing tweet doesn't instil enthusiasm to make the effort in future: Speedway Updates@SpeedwayUpdates New Scoring System After Round 1 Laguta - No Gain Janowski - 1 Point Gain Lindgren - 9 point Gain? Woffinden - 2 Point Gain Madsen - 1 Point Loss Zmarzlik - No Gain Emil - 1 Point Loss Vaculik - 3 Point Loss Zagar - 2 Point Gain Chugunov - 1 Point Gain Doyle - 1 Point Gain Dudek - No Gain Michelsen - 1 Point Loss Iversen - No Gain Fricke - No Gain Lindback - No Gain What's that all about  |

It never ceases to amaze me how often those in charge in speedway continue to mess up something that worked very well and was understood by everyone. |

Bit the bullet as GP withdrawal systems kicked in. Called BT to advise I felt short changed as only had Sport for speedway. Definitely not signing up for long term contract so negotiated monthly pass for £25, to which they will provide first month free. Can cancel anytime so at worst, will get all GP’s for £25 total. Or if Laguta keeps winning by a mile I won’t need the October meetings.
Meeting was ok but the new points system is dreadful. It will certainly do more harm than good. Why do they have to keep changing things that works fine. If they keep it next season I will definitely be out.

I watched them both and thought how good they were, the SF clash between WOFFINDEN and ZMARZLIK was a belter and worth looking for if you haven’t seen it. Looking at the comments so far I expect the points system to change again |

Looking at the comments so far I expect the points system to change again Yes watched it, have a free month pass. Some good racing made it worth the hour waiting in the BT call queue. Will decide if I will purchase another nearer the time. I do sincerely hope they change the scoring system back. Can’t believe there are people out there that think it’s a good idea. As you say most don’t. |

Looking at the comments so far I expect the points system to change again After sorting my tea out and walking the dog I thought that I'd see what I could find on the net. Found plenty of acceptable feeds of excellent quality and watched from heat 11. I've not otherwise looked at the reports or scores so haven't taken in the points system yet but will catch up at some point. |
