Ipswich vs Oxford 18th April
Roger Jacobs replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
There's a quote from Schroeck in the Oxford report: https://oxfordspeedway.club/2024/04/reaction-at-the-end-of-the-day-were-still-second-in-the-league-table-and-we-know-how-weve-now-got-a-very-strong-side-throughout-and-were-going-to-be-tough-to-beat/ -

Ummm ... it's why they are called "averages" ... -
Birmingham v Leicester 15th April 2024
Roger Jacobs replied to StephenMiller's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Wrong. He scored 15+1 from 6 (and KL lost). Obviously, he didn't do it at Birmingham, against this Leicester team. -

Potentially 3 x 5-1s from Fricke & Douglas ... -
Rather than use Nicholls as a guest (where he rides under the 7.50 average of the rider he was replacing), they redeclared the team with Nicholls as part of the 1-6. They've got enough scope in the averages to redeclare when Pawlicki is available.
-
As I said though - maybe Brum did look at riders who would be assessed at 8, but decided against, for whatever reason (cost, overall availability, etc.). Hence, by signing riders on 7.50, they've not got so close to the limit. Surely that's not too difficult to understand?
-
Who could they have signed? A third rider on 7.50 instead of Lampart? Robert Lambert instead of Worrall? I wouldn't replace Cook. Maybe the leeway is because two different "marquee" signings could have been 8.00 assessed, thus only 0.6 left over.

7.88 (assuming they round up to the nearest hundredth. Of course, only while that is their average ...

You probably know who decides as well as I do, or even next door neighbour's pet dog does.

"Assessed rider gradings are calculated as follows: - Riders new to Premiership League racing are categorised as follows: - a) a rider riding in a professional league in the previous or current season will be assessed on a Grading List. Based upon results obtained in all other professional Speedway leagues and given an Assessed MA accordingly" And ... before you ask ... there doesn't appear to be a published list of gradings. PS: I'm assuming they're classed as new riders because they don't have "current" CMAs.

SCB Regs: "010.2.3 Amended MA’s With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors for: - a) riders who have been absent from British Speedway racing for more than 3 seasons (The MA may be increased or decreased)"
-
His ancient average is irrelevant - a completely different rider now in terms of experience. A not bad signing compared with some of the names that had been bandied about.
-
They should have held a competition for locals to suggest nicknames, and then vote on a shortlist. An excellent marketing exercise. Otherwise, alongside the Cheetahs, they could have chosen another cat nickname, e.g. the Oxford Ocelots

Leicester Lions 2024
Roger Jacobs replied to Barrow Boy 2's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Kemp has a 4 point average - he's benefitted from the 25% discount for moving out of the RS pool. There's pressure on him, but he seems to like the Leicester track. PS: It's definitely worth using the correct word, rather than a number when you're talking about numbers :-) -
Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions
Roger Jacobs replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Jenkins himself has said he's only the second rider to move out the Rising Star pool, so he must be getting the 25% discount, which means he starts at 6.
