foamfence 2,917 Posted January 31, 2015 There are only three complete teams, how can you predict anything. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate Baz 218 Posted January 31, 2015 Just asking (not stirring) but where do you get Stuart Robsons 4.63 from? His greensheet average at Newcastle last year was 7.56, which factored at 1.6 makes 4.73. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BritPete 625 Posted January 31, 2015 I see that you have got Swindon to finish last, which is fine, but it must mean that you know what our completed line-up is. Would you like to reveal it to us? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,632 Posted January 31, 2015 Any particular reason why Holder is missing from the Poole line-up? It can't be to do with visas as you've included the likes of Doyle, Batchelor in their respective teams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,632 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Just asking (not stirring) but where do you get Stuart Robsons 4.63 from? His greensheet average at Newcastle last year was 7.56, which factored at 1.6 makes 4.73. 4.63 was his 2013 final EL average, but have no idea why they are using that rather than last season's converted PL average??! I though where a rider had an EL and PL average - albeit from different seasons -, it was the higher of the 2 that had to be used?!

ouch 1,191 Posted January 31, 2015 I think that's just for Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted January 31, 2015 Robson will either be his 2013 EL average of 4.63. Or his PL average converted which is 4.54 (7.56 x 0.6) What odd is TNt has used Robbos 2013 EL average but Kennetts converted average. So at least one of them is wrong - if we're using rolling averages then it has to be Kennetts IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted February 1, 2015 I see that you have got Swindon to finish last, which is fine, but it must mean that you know what our completed line-up is. Would you like to reveal it to us? Unless they shock the world with Greg, Emil or Darcy AND get the visa sorted for Troy Batchelor, then yes I have Swindon to finish last as they only have three confirmed without Batch and it leaves quite a gap to make them competative ....... in my opinion. He's clearly not busy enough on the night shift Don't work nights, just don;t sleep much Robson will either be his 2013 EL average of 4.63. Or his PL average converted which is 4.54 (7.56 x 0.6) What odd is TNt has used Robbos 2013 EL average but Kennetts converted average. So at least one of them is wrong - if we're using rolling averages then it has to be Kennetts IMO. Only going off the averages pulished from the press release made at the time I think quite a few riders averages may be wrong or slightly out due to the Birmingham matches. Even with those taken out, a rider can have an average that may be wrong bevause during the season he could have been promoted to a heat leader or dropped to a second string with those scores included during the season.

No problem with that logic except you have POOLE in the top 4 and they are in the same position!! I think your flaw is that you are making assumptions - best to wait until the team is announced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted February 1, 2015 Like anyone should take TNT's opinions to heart...it's not as if he is correct on much And where do you get only 3 confirmed with Batch?....do the reserves scores not count towards the overall team scores in 2015....have i missed something?! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
