Fromafar 10,361 Posted December 14, 2017 Who dreams up these rules regarding averages,far to complicated and open to different interpretation,nothing changes still a shambles . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 14, 2017 I guess it's why you can't go on the bspa website and look at all the rules.....no one would be able to fiddle anything to their benefit then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,661 Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Welcome Joel. very good signing tried signing him a couple of years ago but he didn't feel ready to come over at the time. Pickering starting at reserve looks to be the trump card for us come next season. Will always leave us with a high scoring reserve. with 10.10 remaining for the final two riders it will be interesting to see what route we go down. Go with either a 8/7 with a 2/3 or more solid with a 6 and a 4 point rider to finish. Just need to wait and see.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 14, 2017 So are we to take it there isn't the 7 average rule anymore in this division?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie4388 679 Posted December 14, 2017 I'm wondering where does the 5.20 figure mentioned on Edinburgh's website come from? Do Buster and Co at the head quarters just put some numbers in a hat and draw one at random nowadays? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 14, 2017 Apparently every new foreign rider will be assessed on a case by case basis. So that's why Joel has the average given. Now if that's not open to corruption I don't know what is.. Anyway. Good luck to both Edinburgh and Joel. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Case by case basis? Deary me, what a farce. Absolutely nothing against Edinburgh before people start getting defensive but how on earth can a rider who has been a world under 21 finalist and ridden in the Elitserien come in on anything lower than seven? The sport gets more and more shambolic by the day. No idea why there are two different font sizes! Edited December 14, 2017 by Bagpuss 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,661 Posted December 14, 2017 Apparently you use his Premiership average of 4.00 and use the new 1.3 multiplier to get his 5.20 average. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JanAndersen 822 Posted December 14, 2017 Love the seethe. Edinburgh promotion again proving they’re just slightly more switched on that the average. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
