foamfence 2,917 Posted November 3, 2016 Really?!?!? After the 1st set of greensheets you believe some teams would have maintained a 50 average?!?!? No, that's for team building purposes, after they have achieved an average everyone is on the former PL averages. There is a cut-off date for replacements and even if you try to bring any in before that, they'll still be subject to x1.4, unless they already have a PL average.

BWitcher 12,453 Posted November 3, 2016 If they haven't solved doubling up, which it appears they haven't then its all pretty pointless. The BIGGEST peeve people have is when riders are missing because they are racing elsewhere. With Somerset and Rye House, both weekend tracks, coming into the top league, this problem may well be worse than ever. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Little Un 47 Posted November 3, 2016 Rider on 8 Elite = 11.2 which is now applied over both leagues. 11.2 is a big chunk from 40 Championship points for a team. Riders like Cook, Nicholls and Bomber should get some good offers. Pleased we are looking after our own for a change. there needs more explanation on riders who DID ride in two leagues but have differing success rates. assume no UK percentage reduction now. I feel sorry for Ipswich fans who bar Peterborough have some long road trips. Northern League is that in all but name . If the statement from the AGM is correct, you are wrong. It does not say the EL will be multiplied by 1.4 but that the EL average will have 1.4 added to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilly 172 Posted November 3, 2016 So when the real averages kick in, what limit do you use for making team changes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solrac 313 Posted November 3, 2016 Is the national league still running as there is no mention of it anywhere? Yes, but that is a separate AGM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been dealt with earlier in the thread. I am right. the press release very badly worded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STEPHEN 333 58 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) happy days no more ringers being brought in at the end of the season or big fixtures Yes, I agree, Woffy will be a bit upset knowing he's not going to be earning with Wolves next year if things go pear shaped in Poland and Sweden.

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Adam Ellis EL average x 1.4 then if no PL average? That's what the rule states. There will be some riders with abnormal averages but Adam was based on doing well as an EDR then holding his own as a heat leader/2nd string. When will the new declared averages start & how will it be implemented. Rolling averages with part 2016 ave x 1.4 +2017 ave or will they get new averages after 4H & 4A meetings. A lot of the 2016 EL riders only will obviously drop their averages leading to teams dropping probably 3 points & re-declare very early.

solrac 313 Posted November 3, 2016 Overall decent AGM. I'd say. They're looking to phase out double uppers over the course of time according to Twitter. Not all things addressed regarding race nights etc but better than previous years I'd say. Just the NL AGM to go now, a league which is sustainable and going from strength to strength. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Little Un 47 Posted November 3, 2016 Are they allowing doubling/trebling up ? There is already trebling up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Unsurprisingly swindon wanted a higher points limit. Edited November 3, 2016 by hyabb17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Unsurprisingly swindon wanted a higher points limit. Try building a team with last years av, plus or mult by 1.4, under 50 points. Edited November 3, 2016 by A ORLOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMungo 708 Posted November 3, 2016 With only 10 Championship sides, the biggest downside to me, looks like there'll be a lot of riders without a spot in that league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
