The National League Pairs Championship is a motorcycle speedway contest between the top two riders from each club competing in the National League in the UK. The meetings comprise a competition between teams of two riders drawn into two qualifying groups.
Rules
Gate positions
In the Qualification Heats, riders are allocated starting gates. For the Semi-Finals, the group winners have first choice of gate positions (A&C or B&D). Gate A is on the inside of the track, whilst Gate D is on the outside. For the Final, the gate positions (A&C and B&D) are decided by the toss of a coin.
Points scoring
All heats are scored as follows:
- 1st = 4pts
- 2nd = 3pts
- 3rd = 2pts
- 4th = 0pts
This system is used to encourage team riding. A pair finishing first and second will score seven points, whereas a pair finishing first and last will score only four. Race points scored over all 'qualification heats' are used to determine the final group placings.
Ties
Where two are tied for a place, the team who scored most points scored in the heat where they met go through. Where more than two teams are tied for a place, the tie is resolved as follows:
- Most wins
- Most second places
- A ballot
