So semi 1 and 2 are just repeat races of nite 1?? I don't like the points system, would way rather the winner takes all knock out option. Bit more basic and joe public in the crowd can understand the format easier. Imagine how confused first timers are going to be turning up night 2 and seeing the same battles!

I agree it's turned out bad with the same teams matching up tonight, there probably needed to be a sub-clause in there somewhere haha, but a straight knock out format wouldn't have many races when you've only got 7 teams to start with..... |

Are you suggesting they are going to be boring repeats? If so, had you not considered the team that lost last night might be a little fired up tonight? I say the repeats will make it more exciting not less! The other possibility is you are upset your team has no chance and would prefer they had a different opposition. If so, is it the busters or ,mustangs you support? Go the Tigers vs panthers final! |

Really it should be turned into a promoters dream. A good mic team should turn these match ups into revenge etc. No it hasn't turned out bad at all,my view of course.

Personally I'd rather see the ultimate revenge in the Final over a Semi, but that's not to say all 5 races won't be stunning, just like several races were last night.

A mate and I tried this last night...
How do you try and beat each team? It's hard to see a lot of weakness in 3 of the 4 teams?

You missed my point about spectators who are new to the sport will defiantly be wondering why they are watching the same races they saw last night. |

Most people expect to see one play four and 2 play three in a semi final. Most people can probably also understand points tables. |
