9. The Fantasy Speedway League table will be updated weekly on the website each Wednesday lunchtime.
10. The following competitions will count towards the Fantasy Speedway League: all Elite League matches (including all play-offs), all Premier League matches (including all play-offs), the end-of-season relegation/promotion play-off, all Elite League Knockout Cup and Premier League Knockout Cup matches, and all Premier Trophy matches, including semi-finals and final. No other competitions will count towards the Fantasy Speedway League.
11. Guest appearances do not count towards the Fantasy Speedway League.
