The penultimate round before the play-offs, and the meetings are:
Round 17 - Tuesday 25th August
Piraterna [45] v Rospiggarna [51]
Lejonen [42] v Västervik [54]
Vargarna [37] v Vetlanda [59]
The table currently looks like this:
Team..Played..Won..Drawn..Lost..For-Against..Bonus..Points
1..Vetlanda..12..8..3..1..626-526..5..24
2..Vastervik..12..7..2..3..609-542..4..20
3..Indianerna..13..7..0..6..631-616..2..16
4..Vargarna..12..6..1..5..562-588..2..15
5..Lejonen..12..5..1..6..560-568..3..14
6..Dackarna..13..5..2..6..599-625..2..14
7..Piraterna..12..3..0..9..572-578..3..9
8..Rospiggarna..12..3..1..8..518-634..0..7
Both Dackarna and Indianerna have only one meeting left, and both are away from home. The play-off teams, however, are pretty much decided, with only a minor miracle being able to change Piraterna's fate - they would need to take all three points from this week's meeting (which is feasible), do the same at Vastervik in the next round (highly unlikely), and hope Dackarna lose to Rospiggarna by more than three points in Round 18.

Piraterna needs to win with a minimum of 15 points away against Västervik in the last round if Dackarna and Vargarns do not score any more points.

Why? What's the next parameter after points?
If Piraterna win their remaining fixtures they'll finish on 14, same as Dackarna and with a better aggregate score. (Provided that Dackarna lose their last round meeting). Why do Piraterna have to get the bonus in Västervik?

Why do Piraterna have to get the bonus in Västervik? Because I'm taking into account my prediction for the Rospiggarna-Dackarna meeting, and I think Dackarna might just get the bonus there. The first round score went only 2 points in their favour, but I still think they should take it. Mind you, they should have finished higher than their current position, given the strength of their team. |

Lee Richardson won't be riding for Vetlanda on Tuesday after suffering bruising in a fall at Lakeside last night.

But anyway, Rospiggarna away is a difficult task. Granted they have not had much flow this year, but if they get it right they could surely dispatch of Dackarna. This can get really interesting  |

Hey Ghostie, what's the next parameter after league points? I never keep these things in my mind.

Hey Ghostie, what's the next parameter after league points? I never keep these things in my mind. rider points ratio. won points divided by lost point. not so sure anymore that they need the bonus to get past Dackarna but they do need it to get past Vargarna if they dont score any more points.  |

Amazingly, Vargarna beat Vetlanda by the same margin they lost by in the first round. Crump beat Nicholls in the run off for the bonus point.
And in one of the other meetings, David Ruud broke the Axelent Arena track record in a time of 63.9.

And Stefan Andersson must have threatened his team with a good lashing, as Piraterna's defeat of Rospiggarna (63-33) does indeed earn them the three points, and keeps their hopes of a play-off place alive.
Lejonen won their meeting, but it wasn't quite enough to gain the bonus, as they lost on aggregate to Vastervik by just 2 points. However, the league points they've picked up for the win is enough to see them safely through also. So the final play off place will either go to Dackarna or Piraterna.
