Because final events date do not coincide with Wolverhampton Wolves matches, ACU and BSPA have to agree of Tai Woffinden' participating in the series.[2]
ACU and British Speedway Promoters' Association refused to appearance in a tournament qualifier British star, Scott Nicholls.[6] On 27 July, Final One date, Nicholls need ride in British Elite League event. Then ACU does not agree that Hans N. Andersen could be replaced in Swindon Robins match. Andersen informed the club and a league that he will take part in the SEC before signing the contract.[7]
