LEAGUE SCORING SYSTEM
Win = 2 points
Draw = (see Super Heat)
Loss = 0 points
Aggregate Bonus Point Win = 1 point
Aggregate Bonus Point Loss = 0 points

AGGREGATE BONUS POINT

An additional point awarded to team winning on aggregate over corresponding fixtures, e.g. Belle Vue 47 Sheffield 43 & Sheffield 48 Belle Vue 42 (Sheffield awarded additional point for winning 91-89 on aggregate).
If scores are tied on aggregate then a Super Heat will be staged (see Super Heat note).

SUPER HEAT
Format
– The Team Manager, at their discretion may select any two of their seven riders.
– The Super Heat will take place with the following scoring system to determine the winner: 1st 4 points, 2nd 3 points, 3rd 2 points, 4th 0 points.

Drawn Matches
– In meetings after heat 15 when the score is level (e.g. 45-45), a Super Heat will be used to determine the winner (winning Super Heat team get 2 league points, losers 1 league point).
– The Super Heat winning team will be reflected as a Super Heat Home Wins in the league table and the loser as a Super Heat Home Losses etc.
– If a meeting is abandoned for any reason after the staging of heat 10, the scores are level and no more heats can take place (e.g. Super Heat), the match will be decided on countback of heat advantages (most 5-1s, most 4-2s etc). Winning team get 2 league points, losers 1 league point.

Aggregate Bonus Point
– When scores are tied for Aggregate Bonus Point then a Super Heat will be staged to determine the winner.
– If the second meeting is a draw and it creates an aggregate draw (eg. 45-45 followed by 45-45) then one Super Heat takes place which counts for not only to decide the meeting winner (2 league points for winner, 1 league point for loser), but also the aggregate bonus point.
– If aggregate scores are level but the second meeting has been abandoned then aggregate bonus point is given on countback of heat advantages (most 5-1s, most 4-2s etc) over the two meetings.

PLAY-OFF PICTURE – HOW IT WORKS 
– Top four teams progress to the play-offs (All play-off ties raced over two legs) .
– The semi-final line-up is based on the final league table: 1st v 4th, 2nd v 3rd.
– The winners from the two semi-finals then meet in a two-legged Grand Final to decide Premiership Champions.
– In the event of a tie on aggregate in the semi-final or Grand Final, the outcome will be determined by the Super Heat Format.
