*JJ 512 Posted December 10, 2016 What's that supposed to mean? This year's Brummie reserves didn't ride more than 3 league meetings in 2015, so as to protect their 3.00 average. That's what I meant! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted December 10, 2016 Heathen1984 I wish you had the facts to back up your argument as I'd hate to refer to what you say as rubbish, lawlors appearances for Buxton alone in the latter part of the year, as well as one appearance for Birmingham at Buxton equate too: V Rye House 7. Joe Lawlor - 0,1*,3,1,3 = 8+1 V Kings Lynn 7. Joe Lawlor -- 3, 2', 1, 0, 1, 3 = 10+1 V IOW 7. Joe Lawlor -- 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 2, 0 = 11 V Buxton 3. Joe Lawlor (G) - 1', 1, 1, 1, 3 = 7+1 V Eastbourne 6. Joe Lawlor (G) - 3, 2', 1', 2 = 8+2 44 points not including bonus / 27 rides = 1.629 x 4 = 6.518 not sure if my maths is correct again but 6.518 is even higher than 4 isn't it? I must be talking rubbish. Good one Heathen1984. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnieg 3,643 Posted December 10, 2016 If you follow the link on the previous page you will see that Heathen1984 is correct. Lawlor averaged less than 3.5 taken across all the NL matches he rode in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) just having a look at the averages on the sgb website. Why does lawlor have a 3 point avg and sam beebee has a 4.25? Surely lawlor averaged more and they were both not in a team Decleration? According to the excellent speedway stats his average for 2016 was 3.27 http://www.speedway-stats.co.uk/Rider/665 So my site (speedway-stats.co.uk) has Lawlors average from his 16 meetings for BV at 2.29 but that includes a meeting at Buxton as number 8. If you count all his meetings for every team then it's 3.27 but again, that inclues 8 meetings as a teams number 8. Surely the figure that counts is his 2.29 from 16 meetings for BV? You coulld make it 2.36 if you take away his meetings for BV at #8. Honestly not seeing the issue with Lawlor being a 3. As for Sam Bebee I make it 4 meetings for Mildenhall as a declared rider averaging 4.25 but it's always difficult with the NL to know if riders are in declared teams or not as they change on a whim and the rules seem to be made up as and when someone sees fit. If you're including guest bookings then Sams average is 3.18. The fact I make Sam 4.25 from delcared meetings (and guest meetings not included) the same as the BSPA makes Lawlors 2.29 from his declared meetings the relevant figure. Averages in declared teams here, http://speedway-stats.co.uk/Averages/2016/3 Lawlors meetings and average here http://www.speedway-stats.co.uk/Rider/665 Bebees meetings and average here http://speedway-stats.co.uk/Rider/670 In short, 3 and 4.25 look right to me. Heathen1984 I wish you had the facts to back up your argument as I'd hate to refer to what you say as rubbish, lawlors appearances for Buxton alone in the latter part of the year, as well as one appearance for Birmingham at Buxton equate too: V Rye House 7.

I must be talking rubbish. Good one Heathen1984. Well Done on picking just 5 of his 38 meetings Why not pick the 5 meetings where he totaled 3 from 18 = 0.66 Edited December 10, 2016 by SCB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnieg 3,643 Posted December 11, 2016 Isn't it just programmed rides that count?For averages ALL rides count. The rule where programmed rides only count is the one for determining who is eligible for heat 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenR195 113 Posted December 11, 2016 For averages ALL rides count. The rule where programmed rides only count is the one for determining who is eligible for heat 15. Only your 4 programmed rides count towards your average, that's why there is a lot of kick off as to why Doyley is on a 13.4 average when the max he can get is 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All rides count towards your averages but averages are multiplied by 4 to make 12.00 a maximum. Points/rides*4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
