SCB STATEMENT: REDCAR v GLASGOW

FOLLOWING the abandonment of the Redcar v Glasgow BSN Series semi-final 2nd leg on Sunday October 12 prior to Heat 15, with the scores all level on aggregate but being unable to decide a winner of the tie on track, the Speedway Control Bureau have made the following statement.

There is no alternative with the scores level on aggregate at the time of the BSN Series semi-final being abandoned, and the result of the tie will have to be decided by SCB Regulation 012.1.26 Abandonment, which states:

“The team who scored the most heat advantages (5-0, 5-1, 4-2, 3-2, 3-0 in no particular order) over the two legs will be awarded the aggregate win.”

Over the two legs the heat advantages were as follows –

• Redcar scored 8 x 4-2s (4 in the 1st leg, and 4 in the 2nd leg)
• Glasgow scored 1 x 5-1 and 6 x 4-2s (a 5-1 and 3 x 4-2s in the 1st leg, and 3 x 4-2s in the 2nd leg)

Therefore over the two legs, Redcar had one extra heat advantage and will qualify for the 2025 BSN Series Final.

The SCB wishes all the people involved in the incident at Redcar during Heat 14 a speedy recovery.
