Converted averages.

Surely if the doubling up is to be phased out as best it can then the conversion needs to go up if anything. Force riders to only be able to ride in one league 

I would think that this is a bit hard to enforce as 1 rider has already been to court for freedom of work to ride in 2 leagues.

Plus, how would you reduce the number of double league riders.

When Adam Ellis signed for Scunthorpe he used his Sheffield CMA x 1.5 despite having a 2019 Champ ave.

So in 2022 what's to stop the reverse from happening? Ellis signs for a Champ side on his 7.66 ave but not for a Prem side. Then after a week joins a Prem side on a converted ave (7.66 / 1.5 = 5.11) rather than his Prem ave of 8.12!

The same could happen to Anders Rowe 4.09 / 1.5 = 3.00 (minimum ave) rather than 4.46 or Cameron Heeps 4.95 / 1.5 = 4.00 (minimum ave) instead of 5.10!

It's like the rules almost encourage teams to "think outside the box" and wait to sign riders on converted aves!

I looked at 3 riders with Prem aves higher than their Champ ones to illustrate this point!

Adam Ellis first match for Scunny was 25/6.

So June Premiership average is converted (x1.5) & used.

Sheffield's June aves were any fixtures up to & including May 23rd.

Ellis didn't ride for Sheffield till 27/5.

So his June ave must've been his last 20 Prem matches in 2019!

So instead of using his 2019 Champ ave, he uses his 2019 Prem ave converted! 

Is that not daft?

Bonkers. Absolutely bonkers. But then are we surprised?
