Skidder1 7,637 Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) He did say that - before the BSPA's final meeting to approve the rules. As I said, I'll stand corrected if its different to my understanding. As far as Kyle Newman is concerned, as long as he gets his chance at some point to go into the 1-5, he'll be happy. Equally I'm sure many Poole fans will be happy to keep Kyle at reserve and for Adam to be promoted initially. Edited April 10, 2016 by Skidder1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted April 10, 2016 I've emailed the BSPA offices for confirmation. No matter who is correct or otherwise on here, surely its what the riders themselves understand and have agreed to?!Surely it's not the riders role to interpret the rule book? If they have had it incorrectly explained then their argument is with the club who incorrectly explained it The rule as per the rulebook is clear cut.

Skidder1 7,637 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) The rule isn't clear-cut, otherwise there wouldn't be any disagreement on its interpretation. I interpret the rule to mean 'highest EDR starting average' whilst others interpret it as 'highest EDR average at any time'? Both reserves are going to gain new averages throughout the season, which may end up higher than those in the 1-5, BUT it doesn't mean both/either will/can be promoted - unless my interpretation and the understanding of some riders is incorrect. Update: No reply from BSPA towers as yet. Edited April 11, 2016 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DunRobin 465 Posted April 11, 2016 If the rule means only tier 1 riders can move up, then it is badly written. At the present time the rule, the way it reads means any EDR can move up. What is not clear is what happens if the situation happens where 2 EDR riders have higher averages than riders in the 1-5. I am assuming that only 1 EDR rider at the time can be in the 1-5 & that would be the rider with the highest average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who thinks up these rules and then is responsible for putting them in the rule book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Update: No reply from BSPA towers as yet. UPDATE and an Apology. I have now had two email responses from the BSPA office!! Initially it was proposed that ONLY the Tier 1 EDR (ie the one with the higher starting average) would be eligible to go into the main team. During the interim between the various BSPA meetings which were to give promoters opportunity to consider other options and/or anomalies, it was then proposed and agreed that EITHER reserve could be promoted but only one could race in the 1-5 at any time. So at least we've had the clarification. Apologies from me to all those that understood it correctly. As promised a donation will be winging its way to the SRBF post haste. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poole keith 911 Posted April 14, 2016 thankyou skidder for making the effort to clarify things for everybody,the amendment allowing either reserve to be promoted does make sense,good for the two reserves as well to be competing against each other for a place in the 1-5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
