Therefore Scots are entitled to financial help from Westminster every bit as much as England. Difference is that in England the additional funding goes direct to recipients, eg hospitality, whereas the Scottish government receives a block amount which would be distributed as they think fit. It was an extra £9 billion over and above I think which I'm not saying wasn't justified. Maybe need a better person than Sturgeon to administer it. But I'm not Scottish so up to yourselves really. I'm not anti Scottish and like everyone I've come into contact with, but think you have a self centred idiot in charge like we have.

Roger Jacobs 551 Posted January 6, 2022 11 hours ago, Cookiefan said: Glasgow team now on official GB website I think there might have been a delay because the team comes in at exactly 42.00, after 2.5% reductions for Brits - and technically it's a few thousandths over the limit. The Green Sheets are based on averages to hundredths, although I think they have used the thousandth if averages are the "same" and a difference needs to be worked out between, e.g. heat leader/second string/reserve (not possible of course if they've had the same number of rides and scored the same number points).

Glasgow's team total is 41.99, not 42.00, not that it matters as 42.00 is still acceptable. Green sheet averages only go to 2 decimal places. At the beginning of a season, if 2 or more riders are on the same (usually assessed) average, the team management declares the seniority of the riders. Thereafter, when the averages change, if there are 2 or more 'tied', the previous seniority is the prevailing factor. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the early 00's we had 3 3 pointers in the proposed team, and we had to select the order of those riders so the highest went to No 2 and the other 2 went to No's 6 and 7. Doesn't happen very often but they have to be ranked for team places and seniority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
