Early
Outline of Conference Decisions
Posted 19/11/06
The
Official Press Statement from the BSPA on the outcome of this
year's conference is due out within the next hour apparently
but some of the changes and amendments - or 'modifications'
as they seem to prefer calling them are noted below: -
| Tactical Ride |
- The BSPA claim they have listened
to the fans concerns aired via the Speedway Star by
modifying the rule. It can now only be used once in
a meeting and the team using it has to be 10 points
behind. Pete Toogood feels this helps progression
as riders are not replaced but just have the opportunity
to go for double points in a programmed ride and therefore
most riders will still have four programmed rides.
|
| Tactical Substitute |
|
| Team Building |
- For the Premier League, the limit
will be 40 points NOT including bonus.
- Teams must include two British riders
who have ridden in the Conference League System at
reserve. It is still to be clarified if there is a
time scale relating to when the reserves rode at Conference
League level.
- The top two in a side MUST ride
at 1 and 3, you can no longer have one of your top
riders at No 5, the idea being that the reserves will
benefit.
- The Elite League Team Building limit
is 42.5 and there will be an additional average reduction
for riders entering the Elite League for the first
time who have come through the Conference League System
|
| Season Start |
- Season start date has been moved
back to 15th March
|
| Miscellaneous |
- The Bonus Point for Teams will now
be referred to as the Aggregate Point
- In the opening heat, the no 1 rider
will be off the outside gate
- Heat 15 eligibility will be top
three scorers on the night and/or top three in your
averages
- All last years Premier League teams
remain and are joined by Birmingham
- The Premier League Play Offs will
be over two legs and be contested by the top four
clubs in the League
- Premier League clubs finishing 5th-12th
will compete in the Jack Young Shield
- The Premier Trophy will have three
Qualifying Groups - North, Midland and South
- The Management Committee will comprise
of Pete Toogood (Chair), Chris Van Straaten (Vice),
Colin Pratt, Dave Pavitt and Neil Machin
|
More
information will no doubt be forthcoming once the Press Release
is posted on the BSPA site.
