Ht 18: Simensen, Briggs, Cribb, Sjosten 79.9 3-3 76-32 		Individual scorers based on published heat details are as follows:
Mauger 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, ef = 14
Wright 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3 = 9+2
Briggs 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2 = 16
Cribb 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1 =9+5
Moore 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 2 =14+2
Peterson 3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3 =14+2
New Zealand Total =76
Nygren 2, 3, 0, 2, 0, 1 =8
Larsson 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0 =2
Persson 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2 =8
Jansson 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 =1+1
Simensen 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3 =13
Sjosten 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 =0
Sweden Total =32
The heat details above, as published in the Speedway Star, show a difference between the heat details and the individual and team scorers/score for that match report. The team scores show that NZ beat Sweden 74-33 but the heat details record a 76-32 score. A 74-33 scoreline would suggest a race where only two riders finsihed but the heat details do not show that. I have tried to reconcile the two different scores but have been unable to locate the error(s). Unfortunately, the BSPA Handbook was no longer published and its successor, Websters Speedway Mirror, did not record the result.
