Definitely worth considering, however you would need a to set a 'team mean average' which all teams couldn't go over to prevent one team buying up the best in each grade..

Maybe also let teams 'miss a grade' and use two riders from the one below instead?

Possibly even run with six man teams initially to increase the riders avaialble per grade? 

This would create a situation where supply exceeds demand thus teams will have options for injury cover other than guests, and can replace poor performers with a like of like replacement rather than making two changes to fit one decent rider in with a make weight to maintain the team average, like they do now..

Makes it easy to transfer riders into it too, ie those from overseas or those wishing to double up can be slotted in to a grade based on assessed or converted average. .

A draft system wouldn't work so a first pick of any grade for any club wont happen, riders go where they want to go, not enough money in the sport in order to run a draft system on this basis.

Not sure its about that, more like how many threads one person can start. Can't see it working very well either, as you say riders might not want to go where they are picked

I would also say this system isn't nerdy enough for some speedway fans that like to work things out to the millionth decimal point.

What’s the point of it when averages are more accurate?

What's the point in starting threads and then deleting them. Can't you handle a bit of bants

That's exactly what was predicted when certain team threads were started. Thankfully another thread by a real home fan was started in each case
