I know you appear to be unable to follow logic or a simple conversation so feel free to check the replies above. You suggested we need to do something quick when the transfer window opens when if its deemed the management made a mistake but if that’s the case they can change the line up now if they want to. Any team can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,355 Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Maybe they have only ran with the Premiership because you could end up with several riders riding for four different teams if they get dropped by their two current teams in both leagues.. ?.. Might look a bit daft given so few teams overall..? Edited January 15, 2020 by mikebv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woofers 467 Posted January 15, 2020 18 hours ago, frigbo said: Another clear and concise BSPA press release! I agree, it's crap isn't it. Let's look at it : "Signings can now only be made, apart from proven injury, after 25 per cent of Premiership fixtures and before 75 per cent are complete.In addition, only two team changes are permitted during this time." As already pointed out, does the first bit mean after a team has completed 6 fixtures and before 18, or does it mean 25% of all Premiership fixtures, which i think would be 42 ? (24 * 7 / 4). Then, there are the words "In addition..." why are they there? If only 2 team changes can be made in this period why have the words "in addition" ? Read it without "In addition" does it make any difference ? Define "team changes". Wouldn't it be simpler to say "only two riders may be changed" if that is the intent, otherwise teams could be open to change, for example, 2 riders in May and 3 in June, that's 2 "team changes". It beggars belief that something like this can be issued when surely most in the management structure must be aware that the rule book is both complex and ambiguous and in dire need of being rewritten in plain English. It wouldn't have been difficult to run this past someone with a grasp of good English would it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woofers 467 Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Is this what they meant: Signings can only be made after a team has completed 6 league matches. No signings will be allowed after a team has completed 18 league matches. During the period between 6 and 18 league matches being completed, only 2 riders may be signed. These restrictions do not apply to the replacement of an injured rider unable to compete in any remaining league fixtures. (If I can come up with that in 20 minutes....)

arnieg 3,670 Posted January 16, 2020 So Pawel Polski gets injured, and is replaced under the long term injury rule. His team then make their two permitted changes. And then Pawel Polski reappears for his Polish team. Bet that will cause a few raised eyebrows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, there's always going to be a some bad eggs, and it seems there is cheating of one form or another in every sport. Possible sanctions: Pawel Polski is seen to be a proven liar and has his licence to ride in British speedway revoked (or something like that) His replacement signing no longer has a team place and the club have to run r/r for the remainder of the season. Very tough on the replacement but would make clubs and riders think twice before signing and/or pulling these stunts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
