League Scoring System
Win = 2 points
Draw = (see Super Heat)
Loss = 0 points
Aggregate Point Win = 1 point
Aggregate Point Loss = 0 points
AGGREGATE POINT
APW = An additional point awarded to team winning on aggregate over corresponding fixtures, e.g. Belle Vue 47 Kent 43 & Kent 48 Belle Vue 42 (Kent awarded additional point for winning 91-89 on aggregate).
If scores are tied on aggregate then a Super Heat will be staged (see Super Heat note).
Play-Off Picture - How it Works
– Top two teams progress to a two-legged Grand Final to decide National Development League Champions.
– In the event of a tie on aggregate in the Grand Final the outcome will be determined by the Super Heat Format.
Super Heat
Format
– The Team Manager, at their discretion may select any two of their seven riders.
– The Super Heat will take place with the following scoring system to determine the winner: 1st 4 points, 2nd 3 points, 3rd 2 points, 4th 0 points.
Drawn Matches
– In meetings after heat 15 when the score is level (e.g. 45-45), a Super Heat will be used to determine the winner (winning Super Heat team get 2 league points, losers 1 league point).
– The Super Heat winning team will be reflected as a WD in the league table and the loser as a LD.
– If a meeting is abandoned for any reason after the staging of heat 10, the scores are level and no more heats can take place (e.g. Super Heat), the match will be decided on countback of heat advantages (most 5-1s, most 4-2s etc). Winning team get 2 league points, losers 1 league point.
Aggregate Point
– When scores are tied for Aggregate Point then a Super Heat will be staged to determine the winner.
– If the second meeting is a draw and it creates an aggregate draw (eg. 45-45 followed by 45-45) then one Super Heat takes place which counts for not only to decide the meeting winner (2 league points for winner, 1 league point for loser), but also the aggregate point.
– If aggregate scores are level but the second meeting has been abandoned then aggregate point is given on countback of heat advantages (most 5-1s, most 4-2s etc) over the two meetings.
