Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted April 16, 2012 Scott Nicholls is the last piece of Dackarnas puzzle. This means that their squad is full. barometern.se/sporten/ot-sporten/scott-nicholls-klar-for-dackarna(3232032).gm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted April 17, 2012 Valsarna have signed Robert Kosciecha while Smederna after some discussion and negotiation decided not to sign David Ruud. Imo Smederna did the right thing since it would be very unfair to kick one of the younger riders out just before the season starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted April 18, 2012 Firstly thanks for the very good & informative opening post, and keeping us updated ghostwalker. If a new foreign rider starts over here then they get an assessed average, I was wondering if that was the same in Sweden? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted April 18, 2012 Firstly thanks for the very good & informative opening post, and keeping us updated ghostwalker. If a new foreign rider starts over here then they get an assessed average, I was wondering if that was the same in Sweden? It depends from which country the riders comes from and in what league he rides in, in his/hers home country (home league). For Swedish Elitserien average the following applies: If the riders home league is Extralliga (Polish riders) or Elit league (British, Australian and NZ rider) they will get the same average as they have in their home league. If the riders home league is Polish Liga 1, Danish Superleague or Czech Extraliga the riders will get the average from their home league multiplied with 0,7. If the home league is British Premier League the rider will have their home league averages*0,6 For Polish Liga II, German Bundesliga, Czech div. 1, Russian first league, Ukrainian league its their home league average*0,5 For all other leagues its home league average*0,4. However the initial starting average for non-Swedish riders, can never be lower then 1,250 (5.00), For Allsvenskan and Swedish Div1 the averages will be recalculated with the standard formulas. These formulas are: Current average divided by 0,75 + 0,667 for conversion to nearest lower series (like from Elitserien to AS or from AS to Div1). Current average multiplied by 0,75 – 0,500 conversion to nearest higher series series (like from Div1 to AS or from AS to Elitserien). 2012 rule book pages 74&36; http://www.svemo.se/...eedway_2012.PDF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islander15 1,065 Posted April 19, 2012 Are those times GMT? 13 past the hour seems strange. I think Indianerna will win the league, but hopefully Piraterna & Chris Holder can have a good year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammarby has no permission for using their stadium at "red days". yes as mama says that cannot use their stadium at red days, however I can't why this suddenly becomes a problem. Hammarby surely must have know this when they accepted the suggested fixture list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
