Catch Me If You Can 260 Posted July 18, 2021 On 7/17/2021 at 2:29 PM, IronScorpion said: NeilWatson pointed out a certain fact on another thread about the movement of riders on the SpeedwayGB Championship averages page in that our own J Palin has moved up from 7th to 6th in our numerical CMA's. If I have this correct, Leon Flint has rode quite a few Championship meetings, scoring well but not moved in to the main body yet. His 4th away meeting was at Scunthorpe & now having ridden in 6 home meetings(5th being at home to Newcastle on 3rd July & 6th being at home to Edingburgh on 10th July), he should have been given a new average 7 days after the Scunthorpe meeting, his 4H 4A stats are 51R 75P 5.88 CMA which would put him above Andersen. Should Leon have been riding in the main body(1-5) against Edinburgh, both meetings? Think you will find it only new guys who get average 7 days after 4H/4A Leon Flint has a rolling average as has ridden well over the 20 match spec you need so it will depend on his new rolling average at 20 matches at cut off 23 July.

I don't understand how Palin has moved above MacDonald in the rankings (must mean his 1st AVE is above 4.00) but Flint hasn't moved above Bickley? I can't believe Flint's 20 match rolling ave is below 3.35! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have an average from 2019 so will be treated as a rolling average. Joe, Dan and Jordan are racing in the league for the first time so are slightly different. I was under the impression that the rising star grades would change, so now he's under 3.50 should Kyle not be a 3* rider now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely if you go down in “ rising star average” your not a rising star.Kyle doesn't seem to be improving though.I’m sure that Kyle was not used in the rising star in the Berwick line up,only Leon.

Kyle can't be a Rising Star in a Championship team, as he was designated 4* -- CL sides can only use up to 3* riders as their RS.... Kyle could only be a Rising Star in a Premiership squad.

Bandit59 1,151 Posted July 20, 2021 Here's an idea offer progs at Turnstiles including entry £20 note no change needed,I know some people don't get progs but some do, save getting £3 change then queuing up again for a prog,all round winner IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very good suggestion,but it won’t work for concessions which is a large proportion of the crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
