Alan_Jones 1,005 Posted December 14, 2015 Yes, a difference between: ( A ) an "Assessed" average - for the purposes of team building and team points limits, what a rider is "assessed" as being; and on the other hand ( B ) a minimum standard which shall be attained to facilitate a work permit, two different things, or at least I would expect them to be, hence my own personal view is that the minimum standard that shall be attained otherwise barred from our leagues is to me set too high if it is to act as a minimum and especially if it is a bare average i.e. net excluding bonus points. I'd forgotten the fact that around the turn of the century there was a two tier system with 2nd year riders being given an easier ride than those coming back in subsequent years. In 1999, riders in their 2nd season had to have achieved an average of 5(EL) or 6.5(PL), whereas those coming back for 3rd or later seasons had to have bettered 5(EL) or 8(PL). By 2001 only the latter applied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done to Anthony, David and the rest who produced an excellent surface which resulted in some great racing throughout the year. What are these awards judged upon? Seems reading fans comments about visiting other tracks that Scunthorpe is generally the track that produces by far the best racing in the Premier league but does not make the top 3. And just a thought the track voted the best in the Premier League was home to the only team to not drop a point all season in the Premier League at home yet failed to make the Play Off's. Seems very strange to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems very strange to me. The awards are judged upon the marks given by every referee in every meeting. Scunthorpe have been very successful with this award but this year we were judged the best. I would be interested to hear an impartial observer such as HalifaxTigers view as he has visited numerous times this year to get his opinion, in my humble opinion the second half of the season was the best racing I've seen in my short time involved with the sport with the Glasgow meeting being the highlight, each to their own though. Can't see that being unbeaten at home has anything to do with it. Edited December 15, 2015 by Comet Dan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,796 Posted December 15, 2015 Think they are based on preparation rather than quality of racing as Leicester got third in the EL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
