Reviresco 708 Posted March 23, 2016 So what happens after 8 meeting with NBJ is still on 4.16 but Kai is averaging 4.17+? Surely a higher averaged rider cannot not used to replace a lower one, can it?! Doesn't it depend on whether the introduced Rider takes the team's Match Average over the total allowed (40.50 for the EL in 2016) and if it doesn't then that is within the Regulations?

Would assume as he's a part of the squad and not a guest that it is allowed. It'll be interesting to see what happens at a side that has a reserve move into the main team though, can he then be replaced by the number 8? That could cause issues because it's depriving a 'fast track' rider meetings for the sake of an overseas rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted March 23, 2016 So what happens after 8 meeting with NBJ is still on 4.16 but Kai is averaging 4.17+? Surely a higher averaged rider cannot not used to replace a lower one, can it?! SCB, rule states 17.4.1.1: A declared #8 can be used as a replacement at any time for a #1 to #5 Team Member. No mention of EDR only. It's any if the 1 to 5 I should imagine if the No'8's average goes above any of the 1-5 then that average will count towards the teams total but will remain no'8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

proud panther 1,505 Posted March 23, 2016 If riders like NJB are signed to stop the ridiculous amount of guests being used, it can only be good for the sport in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,824 Posted March 23, 2016 If riders like NJB are signed to stop the ridiculous amount of guests being used, it can only be good for the sport in my opinion. Agreed , as long as any squad signing fits within the rules to suit all teams then no issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
