EN Although chips have been used in the Czech Republic for about the 6th year, we are still warned during races that there is an error in the schedule for the quarter-finals, semi-finals or finals. However, it almost always turned out that the mistake was due to the interviewer's ignorance of the rules, so it does no harm if we repeat them. Pravidla The first rule used refers to who advances to the quarter-finals, semi-finals or finals, or according to what the order of the drivers is determined after the basic heats. This is governed solely by the number of points obtained from heats. Whoever has the fewest points from the rides is placed best. In the event of a tie, the position in the last run is decisive. Whoever has a better position when the points match, will be placed better. If the riders have the same position in the last race, the position in the previous race decides. And if the previous one is also the same, the race before it decides, etc. If all the positions in the heats were the same, the better time of the last race, or the penultimate .... This will determine who advances to the final heats. Nothing more. However, how one will choose at the start is no longer based on the number of points obtained, or on the order after heats, but on the time of the last run. The more progressive ones are therefore sorted by time, and the one who was faster chooses first. It can therefore set up a situation where even the one who advanced last on points can choose first if he was the fastest of those who advanced in the last race. Note: rule 6.1.029bis of the UCI rules The gate starting positions during the Qualifiers (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 Finals depending on the number of participants) and the Final shall be determined as follows: a) In order of lap time from the previous Stage or Round – the fastest rider has the first choice on the gate b) In order of finish placing from the previous Stage or Round - first placed rider has first choice on gate
