Roger Jacobs 554 Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) The Green Sheet Rolling Averages have been based on 20 matches for a while, but this season (2022), the number of matches is reducing by 2 each month, so: June 18, July 16, August 14, September 12, and by October the Rolling Averages will be based on the last 10 matches. I checked with the BSPL office, and they confirmed that it has always been the last N matches, irrespective of home or away, i.e. not half of each. Therefore, by October it's possible that riders will have averages skewed by 6/7/8 home and 4/3/2 away, or even 4/3/2 home and 6/7/8 away. Obviously, the smaller the sample, the bigger the impact on the overall average - especially when a new score is added and the oldest is dropped. Another change by the BSPL for which the consequences have not been thought through ... Edited May 13, 2022 by Roger Jacobs 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted May 13, 2022 To confirm this is going to cover all three leagues? Easier to maintain / calculate i guess but also opens up a huge window for average manipulation in the later parts of the season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enotian 562 Posted May 13, 2022 did they give any reason for making the change? presumably averages for the start of 2023 won't be based on those last 10 matches and it's just for riding order heading into October?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gambo 1,340 Posted May 13, 2022 Rolling Averages will stay at 10 matches for 2023. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enotian 562 Posted May 14, 2022 well that'll give plenty of riders the opportunity to reduce their average to grab those lucrative Poole and Glasgow contracts in 2023 would love to hear the rationale behind this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
