DC2 11,150 Posted November 9, 2016 Dawid Lampart was part of our Elite League winning team! 6.41 now though with the 1.4 conversion. We need someone worse than Dawid! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattK 3,447 Posted November 9, 2016 It would be ridiculous 8f they keep the 50 point limit based on actual averages, and Chris Louis has alluded some conversion will be used - which is unnneccesary, they should just drop the limit to 42/43 points. Or better still, keep the 50 point limit and multiply every rider's Match Average by 1.4 for the purposes of team building. This has the added benefit of any Championship rider who does not have a Premiership average, can move up without any conversion. The other option is to drop the limit to 42-ish, but the problem with this is you are potentially basing all riders averages on 4H and 4A meetings, you then need to determine a Championship to Premiership conversion rate, plus you will still potentially have riders who are not in a current Premiership team on false averages. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted November 9, 2016 With the standard getting lower every season, is there any point in Doyle coming back. He won't be severely tested in next years 'premiership'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easily done. go with the latter. New riders are converted at 1.2 from El, .85 from pl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anzum 250 Posted November 9, 2016 Sounds like Rosco has made some signings according to his tweets or he is on a wind up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted November 9, 2016 Where are you getting MPT average from? I see now rode for two teams, oops No one knows what limits will be set after first set of averages are achieved, probably something ridiculous. They will certainly make sure some team doesn't gain for a rider like Jason losing points of his average by bringing it new riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Tbf Klindt would effectively be the third heat leader. not much value in the averages of kurtz/nielsen though. be better off upgrading one of those to morris (who would be first name on my list) and dropping the other for a 2 pointer. Like this? Doyle 13.41 Harris 9.21 Morris 8.97 Wright 6.59 Klindt 5.42 Ayers 3.7 2 pointer 2.00 49.3 Would give us a good top 3 as long as Nick regained his form. Darryl Richins would have been good as a final reserve to give us a couple of "Sprockets", but it looks like he is a 3 pointer so too high. Todd Kurtz (him again!)in for Wright would enable us to fit Richins in at 49.47. Would the 2 pointer be able to be replaced once Doyle's average drops? A possibility. Bring Richins in then.

Where the hell are people going to park next season, as te car park is where the new stadium is meant to take shape? Sometimes this forum is like some weird delusional fairy tale. With the rubbish the "SGB Premiership" is serving up this season I'd be very surprised if any club could bank enough money to invest in a stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure they'll be enough spaces there... sort of in between the ATM and the car wash? Edited November 10, 2016 by BurntFaceMan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted November 10, 2016 13.41!!! :rofl: :rofl: It's all relative. The points limit is 50, so it's not a realistic figure anyway. If you take a team average to be around 42 - 42/50 = 0.84. So, to use a well used TV phrase, Doyles average in "real terms" is 11.26. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I were new to speedway I'd be really interested in finding out more about this sport that has complex and ever changing rules, almost no distinction between top and lower divisions and team averages that require mathematics and explanation to make sense of.
