• No tears required - Even if you've missed the latest round you can always load the full result into the app and browse the scores and statistics at your leisure.

Round Standings


Here you can view the classification for the selected meeting, showing the points scored by each rider in each heat and the total points scored. The classification is ordered according to the regulations - any ties are resolved by most wins, most seconds, most thirds, most fourths, head-to-head records, and then lowest riding number jacket. If the Grand Final has been completed then the top four places are determined by the finishing order of that race. If no races have yet been completed then the riders are listed in their 1-16 meeting order.

This table is updated and re-sorted automatically after each heat result has been entered.

About Snowfunk

In 2010 Snowfunk introduced the world's first Speedway Scorecard for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Its overwhelming success led to a company being formed to manage the application and oversee its continued development. In 2011 the app was relaunched as 'Snowfunk Speedway' for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and now Android, with the goal of becoming the ultimate Speedway app for mobile devices.
