Speedway Elite League
The Elite League is the highest class in British speedways sport . The British team champions are determined through them. The league consists of nine teams that, as in the Speedway Bundesliga , compete against each other in direct comparison. Each team drives against each other once away and at home. A team receives two points for a home win, three points for an away win and one point for a draw.
The Elite League was introduced in 1997.
