Riders take the starting gate positions indicated in parenthesis. The actual gate sequence used during the match is determined by the team captain winning the toss of a coin prior to the start. Gate A is on the inside of the track, whilst Gate D is on the outside.
Each reserve may have a maximum of six rides in a 13-heat match and seven rides in a 15/16-heat match that may be taken at any time. All exclusions count as rides, and a reserve that has been excluded may not be used in the same heat again.
All riders must take at least two rides during the match unless declared injured (which must be taken prior to Heat 15 in a 15-heat match). If a rider is unable to take the minimum number of rides, their place in a heat may not be taken by any other rider until this requirement is met (i.e. a team may not track a rider). For the purposes of this regulation, an exclusion for a starting infringement or exceeding the two minute time allowance only counts as a ride if the excluded rider is not replaced.
In Heats 5 to 13 of a 13/15-heat match or Heats 5 to 16 of a 16-heat match, a team behind by six or more points may substitute a programmed rider with any other rider in the team, provided each rider is only used as a tactical substitute once. A substitute rider takes the helmet colour and starting gate position of the replaced rider. Both riders in a heat may be substituted in this manner, provided the Referee is clearly notified which substitute replaces which rider.
In a 15-heat match, each team must nominate two riders for Heat 15; the home team declaring first.
The team scoring the greater number of points over all heats is declared the winner. When teams score an equal number of points, the match is declared a draw.
Teams comprise eight riders who are numbered 1 to 8. The two riders with the lowest averages are the reserves and must be programmed at Nos. 7 and 8 (in any order). In addition, the three riders with the highest averages must be programmed at Nos. 1, 3 and 5 (in any order).

Riders take the starting gate positions indicated in parenthesis. The actual gate sequence used during the match is determined by the team captain winning the toss of a coin prior to the start. Gate A is on the inside of the track, whilst Gate D is on the outside.
Each reserve may have a maximum of seven rides that can be taken at any time. All exclusions count as rides, and a reserve that has been excluded may not be used in the same heat again.
If both reserves in a team are declared injured, the rider with the next lowest average is eligible to ride in Heats 4 and 15.
All riders must take at least two rides prior to Heat 15 unless declared injured. If a rider is unable to take the minimum number of rides, their place in a heat may not be taken by any other rider until this requirement is met (i.e. a team may not track a rider). For the purposes of this regulation, an exclusion for a starting infringement or exceeding the two minute time allowance only counts as a ride if the excluded rider is not replaced.
In Heats 5 to 14, a team behind by six or more points may substitute a programmed rider with any other rider in the team, provided each rider is only used as a tactical substitute once. A substitute rider takes the helmet colour and starting gate position of the replaced rider. Both riders in a heat may be substituted in this manner, provided the Referee is clearly notified which substitute replaces which rider.
After Heat 15, each team nominates their riders for the three remaining heats; the home team declaring first. Riders Nos. 1 to 6 may only be nominated as follows: Heat 16 - two lowest scorers, Heat 17 - two middle scorers, Heat 18 - two highest scorers. The scores from programmed rides only are counted and bonus points are included. Team members scoring an equal number of points may be nominated for any heat where they are eligible.
The team scoring the greater number of points over all heats is declared the winner. When teams score an equal number of points, the match is declared a draw.
Teams comprise seven riders who are numbered 1 to 7. The two riders with the lowest averages are the reserves and must be programmed at Nos. 6 and 7 (in any order). In addition, the three riders with the highest averages must be programmed at Nos. 1, 3 and 5 (in any order).

Riders take the starting gate positions indicated in parenthesis. The actual gate sequence used during the match is determined by the team captain winning the toss of a coin prior to the start. Gate A is on the inside of the track, whilst Gate D is on the outside.
Each reserve may have a maximum of seven rides that can be taken at any time. All exclusions count as rides, and a reserve that has been excluded may not be used in the same heat again.
All riders must take at least three rides prior to Heat 15 unless declared injured. If a rider is unable to take the minimum number of rides, their place in a heat may not be taken by any other rider until this requirement is met (i.e. a team may not track a rider). For the purposes of this regulation, an exclusion for a starting infringement or exceeding the two minute time allowance only counts as a ride if the excluded rider is not replaced.
In Heats 5 to 14, a team behind by eight or more points may substitute a programmed rider with any other rider in the team, provided each rider is only used as a tactical substitute once. A substitute rider takes the helmet colour and starting gate position of the replaced rider. Both riders in a heat may be substituted in this manner, provided the Referee is clearly notified which substitute replaces which rider.
Each team may nominate any two riders for Heat 15, except those participating in Heat 16.
The two highest scoring riders in each team (reserves excepted) may only ride in Heat 16. The scores from all rides are counted and bonus points are included. A rider in this heat may only be replaced by a reserve except when declared injured. In this event, the scores of the rider are not considered when deciding the heat line-up.
The home team declares their riders for Heats 15 and 16 first.
The team scoring the greater number of points over all heats is declared the winner. When teams score an equal number of points, the match is declared a draw.
Teams comprise six riders who are numbered 1 to 6. The three riders with the highest averages must be programmed at Nos. 1, 3 and 5 (in any order). In addition, the riders with the lowest and second-lowest averages are designated as the Reserve and Supplementary Reserve respectively.
The heat format is determined as follows:

Riders take the starting gate positions indicated in parenthesis. The actual gate sequence used during the match is determined by the team captain winning the toss of a coin prior to the start. For Heat 15, the home team has 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.
A Reserve may have a maximum of six rides prior to Heat 13, and a maximum of seven rides in total. These rides can be taken at any time. A Supplementary Reserve may also have a maximum of six rides prior to Heat 13, but may only be used as a replacement (unless it is a replacement under the tactical substitute or rider replacement rules) in heats where the Reserve is also riding, or when the Reserve no longer has any spare rides available after taking into account their remaining programmed rides. In addition, a Supplementary Reserve may not replace a Reserve excluded for a starting infringement or exceeding the two minute time allowance. All exclusions count as rides.
All riders must take at least three rides prior to Heat 13 unless declared injured. If a rider is unable to take the minimum number of rides, their place in a heat may not be taken by any other rider until this requirement is met (i.e. a team may not track a rider). For the purposes of this regulation, an exclusion for a starting infringement or exceeding the two minute time allowance only counts as a ride if the excluded rider is not replaced.
In Heats 4 to 12, a team behind by eight or more points may substitute a programmed rider with any other rider in the team, provided each rider is only used as a tactical substitute once. A substitute rider takes the helmet colour and starting gate position of the replaced rider. Both riders in a heat may be substituted in this manner, provided the Referee is clearly notified which substitute replaces which rider.
Each team must nominate two riders for Heat 13, and two riders for Heat 14. These riders may not be those participating in Heat 15, and no rider other than the Reserve may be nominated for both Heats 13 and 14 (except when rider replacement is being used).
The two highest scoring riders in each team may only ride in Heat 15. The scores from programmed rides only are counted and bonus points are included. A rider in this heat may only be replaced by the Reserve except when declared injured. In this event, the scores of the rider are not considered when deciding the heat line-up.
The team in the lead after Heat 12, or the home team if the scores are level, declares their riders for Heats 13 to 15 first.
The team scoring the greater number of points over all heats is declared the winner. When teams score an equal number of points, the match is declared a draw.
Teams comprise six riders who are numbered 1 to 6. The two riders with the lowest averages are the reserves and must be programmed at Nos. 5 and 6 (in any order).

In Heats 5 to 14, a team behind by eight or more points may substitute a programmed rider with any other rider in the team, provided each rider is only used as a tactical substitute once. A substitute rider takes the helmet colour and starting gate position of the replaced rider. Both riders in a heat may be substituted in this manner, provided the Referee is clearly notified which substitute replaces which rider.
Any two of the three highest scoring riders in each team must be nominated for Heat 15; the home team declaring first. The scores from all rides are counted and bonus points are included. A rider in this heat may only be replaced by a reserve except when declared injured. In this event, the next highest scoring rider becomes eligible instead.
The team scoring the greater number of points over all heats is declared the winner. When teams score an equal number of points, the match is declared a draw.
Teams comprise four riders who are numbered 1 to 4. The riders with the lowest and second-lowest averages are designated as the Reserve and Supplementary Reserve respectively. The heat format is determined as follows:

A Supplementary Reserve may also have a maximum of five rides, but may only be used as a replacement in heats where the Reserve is also riding, or when the Reserve no longer has any spare rides available after taking into account their remaining programmed rides. In addition, a Supplementary Reserve may not replace a Reserve excluded for a starting infringement or exceeding the two minute time allowance. All exclusions count as rides.
No rider is required to take a minimum number of rides.
The team scoring the greater number of points over all heats is declared the winner. When teams score an equal number of points, the match is declared a draw.

In Heats 4 to 6 and 8 to 13, a team behind by six or more points may substitute a programmed rider with any other rider in the team, provided each rider is only used as a tactical substitute once. In addition, Rider Nos. 6/14 and 7/15 may not be substituted at any time. A substitute rider takes the helmet colour and starting gate position of the replaced rider. Both riders in a heat may be substituted in this manner, provided the Referee is clearly notified which substitute replaces which rider.
Each team may nominate any two riders for Heat 14, except those participating in Heat 15.
The two highest scoring riders in each team (reserves excepted) may only ride in Heat 15. The scores from all rides are counted, but bonus points are not included.
