He rode in 4 official meetings for Plymouth last season and gained an average of 8.67! https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2022-rider-statistics/ Or by some absurdity if they are ignoring that, then he didn’t officially ride NL last season so his average should be his Championship average doubled. That is now 3.56 * 2 = 7.12. Not 6.00 which he joined the NL on midway through last season. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similarly you don’t take a British reduction off the Championship average before doubling, you just double it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most teams have been built legit and a couple quite under the limit. Leicester have penalised themselves by taking on a 3.00 rider on nearly a 5. Mildy have stretched it with the use of Congreve its only the academy who have pushed the bar a long way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I believe when enquired about Roynon they were told he’d be on his 6.00 assessed as was given for Plymouth. As he hadn’t done enough to get a proper average he stays on his assessed one given. Academy just following what the BSPA have decided. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 6.00 wasn’t assessed, it was his Championship average doubled which is how you equate an average when a rider is dropping down. 2. He did do enough meetings last season! He did 4 meetings which is all that is needed to get a new average. 3. Like I said previously, if for some reason they’re ignoring last season, then he should drop down on his current Championship average doubled. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The big joke is the ignoring of the forth meeting, boughan didnt get that luxury and saw his average nearly double which must have had an impact on his bargaining power and hurts Leicesters team building capabilities 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
