dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted November 14, 2017 Does ratified mean fixed? Depending on who is asking of course.I thought it meant confirmed as accurate with any mistakes corrected. Leaving them incorrect could be fixing but not ratifying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted November 14, 2017 I thought it meant confirmed as accurate with any mistakes corrected. Â Leaving them incorrect could be fixing but not ratifying. By going through the season with the averages changing every 2 weeks, you would think they SHOULD be right as why make mistakes in the last 2 weeks of a season! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunami 10,219 Posted November 14, 2017 Absolutely - so it should just be a formality. But as you know it is not. Each club has a statistician who produces their clubs stats for programme items. Using the referees input sheets after each meeting there should be cast iron statistics at all times, especially at the end of the period when new updated averages are required. Sadly that is not always the case, and at the end of the season their is dialogue between the BSPA office and the clubs, and when the stats are finally agreed they are then declared the true record of that year and the last greensheets are agreed and issued at the AGM. If everything was hunky dori there should not be a problem, but just look on here when fans are asking for clarification as to who was third in heat 12 of matches say during the year because their records do not match.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted November 14, 2017 And there was me thinking it's just so Poole can get a rider on a bargain average that no one else can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
