Does that mean at that point he ceased to be a rising star and was just treated as a regular 1-6 team member ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeilWatson 1,988 Posted July 25, 2021 8 minutes ago, ouch said: If he is a rising star why does his average have the +5% that is used when booking a guest at home? The rules say rising stars can only be replaced by another rising star so this calculation isn’t applicable. It is. If Rowe is missing and a guest is brought in to replace him, he is replaced according to his average and the +5% applies at home. 2 minutes ago, mrss said: I am sure that Andres Rowe is on the rising star list , but Ipswich put him into the main body of the team so didn’t use him as their rising star option. Correct, and he can guest for another 4* Rising Star regardless of his own average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, Anders Rowe remains a Rising Star rider, but he isn’t nominated as an RS rider in Ipswich’s 1-7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,189 Posted July 25, 2021 Just now, NeilWatson said: No, Anders Rowe remains a Rising Star rider, but he isn’t nominated as an RS rider in Ipswich’s 1-7 That makes sense now. Anders is both a rising star and a 1-6 team member with and average. Many thanks for clearing it up, I knew you’d know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rowe IS on the Rising Star list so can guest for another RS? He is declared in main team by Ipswich so can have a true average.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted July 25, 2021 It's not hard to grasp is it,,, he is on the Rising Star list at the start of the season,, and still on it,,, ipswich don't use him as a rising star,, as only one rising star per team this season in the Prem,,, Kemp is ipswich rising star. So Rowe gets an average, but because he is on the list still,, he can guest for other 4 rising stars. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't believe that is possible, precisely because the RS riders don't have a Green Sheet average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,162 Posted July 26, 2021 If another 'Woffy' came along and rode in the main body of the team, but was still an RS (like Anders Rowe), and ran say a 7 point average as he was so good... Could he then guest as a replacement for a 4* rider? Presume so given it appears your average 'doesn't matter' as was shown when Rowe recently guested for Bates..

barrybishop 896 Posted July 26, 2021 19 hours ago, ouch said: Which begs the question why the Isle of Wight left the league after going through this democratic process. Odd. Does anyone know why Kemp doesn’t have an average? In this years case there was no democratic process, the rules, changes and new entrants were impossed upon us and we were not guaranteed that it would return to normal in 2022 - ie by way of a democratic vote. This is why we left. Had there been a democratic vote or even a promise to allow a democratic vote for 2022 we would still be in the BSPL. We could not allow ourselves to be dictated to, put on something we struggled to support, at our cost, our risk, our reputation, to develop riders we are not allowed to sign... totally for the benefit of higher leagues....

Speedway in the U.K. is run by the ACU/SCB & BSPL, if you want to play the game you really have to be part of it, warts and all. The costs are relevant to what league you are in, the higher the league the more the cost. The BSPL have always dictated things, that’s nothing new is it.
