TurnTwo 317 Posted December 10, 2018 It could be the problem that Jamie maybe a victim of the rulings? How many matches did he complete for IOW and how many matches did he complete as unattached because esssentiall being declared on a 3 and not attaining a 3 he could be a 2.01 or 2.99?

Plymouth have announced him as 2.00. I thought he had completed more than 4 matches as an unattached guest and would have achieved an average (but they could have been cup/trophy fixtures i guess). In reality it would have been wrong if he got frozen out without getting a chance. On that note im guessing all current unattached riders will start on a 2.00 average, assessed after 4? Could mix / mess it up for some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted December 10, 2018 I always thought he ruling was if you had been declared anywhere as a 3 you could never be a 2? It could only go as 2.01 I might be wrong though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the latter there will be mild panic spreading through several teams/riders? Like the not more than 2 x 2.00 ruling it would be nice if the finer points of these rules were actually shared especially as the majority of fans know/respect the rules more than the promotions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted December 10, 2018 Declared in a team as a 1-7 on a 3 which would rule out even sheppard as previously having ridden for Kent and even so cousins and Laurence with lakeside? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did it for a couple of years, things didn't go his way and retires. Probably be back halfway through the season (another Mullins in the making LOL). Plus side good to see Danno back, had a year to find his feet and needs to really kick on this season (and yes that has been said several times before).
