erniew 163 Posted July 25, 2021 Technically correct, however, no use whatever in the context of this (not for the first time) apparent contradiction in the rulebook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevePark 2,781 Posted July 25, 2021 Dan Thompson isn't Leicester's Rising Star though, Joe T is. Does this not make a difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erniew 163 Posted July 25, 2021 Thanks Steve for clearing that up so It would appear that Dan isn't eligible to ride tonight. I hope someone at Redcar is aware of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normski 1,315 Posted July 25, 2021 Another example of a simple sport being hampered by unreal rules Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrP 241 Posted July 25, 2021 Both Dan and Joe are listed as 1 star rising stars. Jenkins is listed as a 2 star so how come they can use a 3 star guest in Bowtell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope someone at Redcar is aware of this. Let's hope Newcastle/the Referee is aware of it IF he is ineligible.

MartinBSN 617 Posted July 25, 2021 He's on the rising star list. He's ridden the past two meetings for Redcar. And teams get vetted days in advance. Come on guys they're not that dumb! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bowtell is guest for Anders Rowe who had a 4.23 average. Bowtell is below that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted July 25, 2021 For this season with the obvious shortage of available riders, all clubs have requested a little leniency with the SCB rules and regs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erniew 163 Posted July 25, 2021 This is not a green sheet average adjustment, It's on the 4 home/4 away rule for initial average assessment. he completed this on 18/7 and it's effective seven days after that date, which is today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrP 241 Posted July 25, 2021 Ok thanks. So therefore Dan can guest as his new average doesn’t kick in until 28th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a green sheet adjustment, it literally says it on the green sheet that's why it's highlighted in green Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
