The draw (Read 14,216 times)

until they simply write the teams names on pieces of paper and draw them out of a hat or box it will always be rigged. The practice of drawing out a number and then matching it up against a team not already disclosed is not fooling anyone.
Palmy will have either Auckland or Waikato in there group and the draw will have already been made up.

Ive been in a few draws over the years ,some have been sweet others not so and on average the out come is enjoyed ,But really do you care who goes to battle on the night its team racing and the best team wins the epic battle that the average punter wishes to see with a underdog team destroying its opposition .
Sometimes in this sport the Promoter just cant do enough to satisfy the tossers that pull the show to pieces like this event ,i to are guilty of it at times but not to the point to say its rigged or match fixing etc Bruce deserves better surely ..

Ppl keep on about who will be in the Panthers group so the question has to be asked, how many groups are there?

What are the chances of mustang's being in Panthers group?
Have they been before?
As this is 14 teams, they won't be in groups.
Top 4 spread apart.
1.4.8.12
The others in between.
Top 4 won't meet each other in first night.

Ahhhh so the Panthers won't have anyone in their group like ppl are saying? TBH if my fav team come up against the formally great Panthers on night one, I'd be fairly happy with that draw.

with 14 teams you can actually have 7 seeded teams. since 7th and 8th dont race. chances are that you will have 6 seeded teams and the busters and kings able to play a huge roll to determine top 8. with no quarter fianls its abit silly that the draw can decide the winner much like the 80s and 90s all over again. rammers is right. teams aint afraid of the panthers. still a great team but not the best team.

Top 4 on Points after night one advance to Tier 1.
Next 4 (5-8) on points advance to tier 2.
Rest go to the consolation.
Tier 1; 1 v 4, and 2 v 3 on points, winner to grand final, loser with highest points from these races to race for 3rd, loser with lowest points from these races for 5th.
Tier 2; 5 v 8, 6 v 7, highest winner on points from these races to race for 3rd, lowest winner on points to race for 5th. The losers are into the consolations.

Just putting it out there, I'm not saying at all that its rigged but I'm confused as to how the seeded teams were placed.
I would have thought 1st and 2nd place from last year would have been in different groups...??

Top 4 from 2019
1st Glen Eagles - 7 races between each
2nd Hawkeyes - 5 races between each
3rd Wildcats - 7 races between each
4th Panthers - 5 races between each

It seems weird that a team that came home 3rd in 2019, gets a bigger gap to repair cars than a team that finished 2nd... !!!
