The effect of the rule is that any rider with an average of over six would have a converted average of over twelve so would be ineligible.

Jason Pipe on FB confirmed there was no maximum ave for riders doubling down!

Perhaps the rule has changed for 2020 - the rule I quoted was from the 2019 Speedway Regulations. 

Any NDL team that signs a 12+ rider is going to be very top-heavy......

Commercially there is a need to have big scorers to keep the team in the meeting, and to set an example to the youngsters . Youngsters thrashing around without guidance will take a lot longer to get where they want to be. If a group of youngsters are getting thrashed by full strength opponents at home, it doesn't please the home crowd who might withdraw their support as some fans insist on a victory whenever possible. Old hands can give advice with riding lines and bike preparation, and  also give the give team a lift with their encouragement and experience. 

Well said dave

Totally agree, however when does a youngster become an old hand or when does an old hand become to old.

Blurred lines :D

Can't say max is a old hand

Not necessarily, maybe he doesn't want a full season of NL, but just a few extra meetings to fill his calendar? Maybe Armadale won't want him in their plans, maybe they've already got their team together, who knows... It's just a bit of fun putting a team or two together :)
