Sorry but if pnspeed (Puk) says highest v 4th highest and 2nd Highest v 3rd highest, then thats what it is. Although he may have mis-quoted the correct reply causing confusion. Last year it was A v D and B v C |

It is supposed to be 4th vs 1st and 3rd vs 2nd every year, however the year the 60 Minutes doco was made there was a mistake in the programme with 1st vs 2nd and 3rd vs 4th (form memory, a mistake was made anyway), which give the wrong semi finals that year. I'm not sure where there have been any A vs D and B vs C, but the 1st vs 4th is to give at least a perceived advantage for finishing on top overall after the 12 heats, by meeting the lowest qualifier first up on Night 2. Most other sports do similar things during their playoff series. Barry B |

Barry B dude go and look at the programmes from the last few years its a v d and b v c Dude, I haven't been there for the last few years. I just know how it was discussed and agreed to some years ago, as to how it should work. If there have been A vs D and B vs C in between time, there's obviously been mistakes made, or somebody changed their mind. It wasn't supposed to be known who was racing who in the semi finals until all 12 races has been decided, and the winner of the final group could still slot into either 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th position overall in many cases.

for some reason I seem to remember A vs D and B vs C but that may have been lots of years ago. I am not a fan of points but it seems it is a necessity for qualifying. Either way the system is out there for all. Thats why finals are more cut throat cos it is first cross the line. I know the winner takes more points than the rest combined but night one is accumulation. In saying that smashing ya opposition to pulp also helps.
I am lucky, I get two Xmases each year. Palmy teams and Bathurst.
Not many sleeps to go.
Go Gizzy or Busters. Same group ( again)so hopefully one will be in the top 4.

Barry B dude go and look at the programmes from the last few years its a v d and b v c and things must stay being done the same way for how long?. If the promotion tell us how it's being done this year as pnspeed did then let it rest. |

They get informed of the proposed schedule of races etc, depending on the format. Or maybe check the same program that the draw photo come from at the start of this thread. It has obvi been printed and was more then likely given to the printer before the hyped up live draw at the saloon champs in auckland that didn't occur. Sonic...at a guess that would be Giants over Baypark....cos you're less likely to win with lawnmower(s) in ya team haha  |

I cant find every programme for the last 6 years but the ones I could find seemed to indicate that when there is 12 teams or 4 groups its A v D and B v C but when there is an odd number of teams they use the top four point scorers, 1 v 4 and 2 v 3. Hardly matters that much will be great racing either way. The other point that makes A v D and B V C more likely is the possibility of a group winner scoring less points than two teams in another group. Goodnight  |
