COMPETITION FORMAT
Each round is contested over 17 heats – 15 qualifying races, a semi-final and a final.
The qualifying rounds pit each team against each other once and a 4-3-2-0 scoring format is in place to make team riding crucial, providing an advantage for any pair that finishes second and third over a team with riders in first and last.
The Rising Star (RS) from each club will also be included and must take at least one of his team’s five rides.
The team that finishes top of the scoring chart heads straight into the final.
The teams that finish second and third race against each other in a semi-final. The winner then takes on the team that finished top.
Final winner – 12 points
Final loser – 8 points
Semi-final loser – 6 points
Fourth in qualifying – 4 points
Fifth in qualifying – 2 points
Sixth in qualifying – 0 points
The tally will be added to after each round – one will be hosted by each Premiership track – with the team that finishes top crowned Premiership Pairs champions.
