Rolling Averages

[Skidder1 7,634]

Its every 2 weeks effective from the following Monday. They are all on the BSPA website - and they are usually mostly correct!!

Many thanks Skidder.

...although I've also read somewhere that rolling averages are updated after every meeting, which probably has an element of truth in it as teams are racing all the time!!

Rolling averages are updated twice a month now for all EDRs who have done 2 home and 2 away and all other riders who have done 4 home and 4 away. Rolling averages now only take into account this season and last season - any meetings from before that are discarded - so KK for example has to start again this season.

Riders at PL clubs, changing only each month, will have a better, truer rolling average now than EL participants.

How do you work that out?

Think she means where you have the edr riders getting false averages.

But she says "now". For the last three seasons Pl riders have had a "truer" average, and it's nothing to do with how often the averages are calculated?

Rider's averages for 2017 will not include meetings from 2016.

All riders will remain on their PL, Assessed or Converted (EL x 1.4) average until they have completed 4H & 4A matches.

Makes a lit of sense. Now they just need to confirm a re declaration limit of 42 or 43 points and issue a transparent rule on treatment of averages for new riders after that point. So far the BSPa seem to have done a reasonable job with the rules for 2017.

Forgot to add that all relevant League Matches will count. 32 Premiership, 36 Championship.

And that imo does not make sense. They are going to have to guess a conversion between the two new leagues. Actually, once teams are named a reasonable conversion could be approximated. But definitely opens things up to manipulation of averages.I don't understand the logic in doing this.

Not sure if you are misunderstanding.

It doesn't mean that a rider in both Leagues will have a combined average. They will end up with a Premiership average calculated over 32 matches, rather than the 20 match Rolling Average.

Similarly they would end the season with a Championship average, calculated over 36 matches.

I had misunderstood.

In that case, that again seems a remarkably sensible decision!

Does open up some 4H 4A manipulation possibilities though....
