Four laps, clutch start, match decided on race points - 1st 3, 2nd 2, 3rd 1, 4th 0.
Riders are identified by Helmet Colours: Home Riders: Red and Blue, Visiting Riders: White and Yellow.
Track Signals: Flags displayed during the course of the race mean: Yellow & Black Diagonal Cross - Riders entering last lap. Black & White Chequered - Race finished. Black with accompanying disc - Rider Excluded. Red Lights around the Track - indication that a race has been stopped.
A coin toss takes place before Heat 1 and winning captain can either choose gate positions for Heat 1 or Heat 15.
A Tactical Ride (TR) is permitted after heat 4. On the first occasion when a team is 10 or more points in arrears, and on a subsequent occasion when the team is 12 or more in arrears - a programmed rider can then be nominated as a Tactical Ride.
The TR rider starts from the starting tapes and any race points scored are doubled (providing he beats an opposing rider). A TR can only be taken by each rider once and is not permitted in heat 15.
All riders (No's 1-7) must have a minimum of three rides prior to heat 15, unless prevented by injury and being declared unfit by Track Medical Officer.
Reserves shall be entitled to maximum of 7 rides, use as a Tactical Substitute, Rider Replacement or in nominated Riders Race, will count in the maximum rides allowed.
In the case that a Rider touches or breaks the Tapes, the Team Manager may, at his discretion, either use a Reserve in the original start position, or re-instate the guilty Rider to re-start on a 15-metre handicap. In Heat 15 the handicap is the only option.
A full set of rules are available from the Speedway Control Bureau (SCB) website.
LEAGUE SCORING SYSTEM
Home loss by any amount of points = 0
Home draw = 1
Home win by between 1 and 6 points = 2
Home win by 7 points or more = 3
Away loss by 7 points or more = 0
Away loss by 6 points or less = 1
Away draw = 2
Away win by between 1 and 6 points = 3
Away win by 7 points or more = 4
seems pretty straight forward

The best view is on the end of the corner pressed up near to the fence.

I used to go to speedway sometimes, thoroughly enjoyable.
The smell of the fumes is fantastic.

Although this is from a couple of years ago,this is the sort of racing that you can expect to see tonight at the Abbey.
Poole will have the newly crowned world champion,Chris Holder riding for them tonight.

Trying to fit in re-arranged finals for Sky coverage and continual worsening weather must be
an administrative nightmare and also for the poor old speedway fans.
Update.
1st leg Monday 15th October.
2nd Leg Weds 17th October.
