FIM SPEEDWAY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GRAND PRIX FORMAT

After the completion of Heat 20, 21 or 22:

When establishing the order between riders at the conclusion of Heat 20, or following the completion of the semi-finals (Heats 21 and 22), any ties will be solved as follows:

• Precedence will be given to the tied rider that has the most amount of 1st places (then 2nd places, then 3rd places).
• If they still cannot be separated, their placing will be determined by their head to head heat result.
• If the tie still persists and involves more than 2 riders, it shall be checked whether there is a possibility to determine a proper precedence (Riders A, B & C) eg:
  
  • Rider A has beaten rider B
  • Rider A has beaten rider C
  • Rider B has beaten rider C

Rider A would be ranked ahead of rider B then rider C

• If none of these solutions can resolve the tie, the precedence will go to the GP ranking of the rider from the start of the season.

RULES IN THE EVENT OF A TIE IN THE OVERALL CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS
