Can Edwards guest twice within 7 days?

You can at different tracks just not the same track.

I think so far as guesting rules go, I think that a guest should be allowed for a Heat leader....R/R should be used for a second string and a 2.00 ave (max) for any reserve guest....

Just my opinion.

My point being, that a 'guest' shouldn't effectively make a side stronger than it would've been, had it had it's original 7 in place.

I thought you had to use r/r for a second string anyway? Seems a bit harsh if you have strong reserves though. How are they stronger if have the same average?

Certain riders ride certain tracks better than others...hence changing Edwards for Kennedy (similar ave) will definitely make Scunthorpe stronger.

If Plymouth were riding at B'ham and Turner wasnt available, Edwards would make them far stronger.

Edwards average at B'ham last season was more like a 7 average...

Hopefully you get where I'm coming from

Okay, fair enough! Although this early in the season you don't know what form riders are on.

 I'm not that fussed who Scunthorpe use as a guest, I was just making a point about 'advantages' etc....

I'm looking forward to seeing Edwards ride, he's great around PB...it's a shame that we didn't sign him !

Last seasons league match Birmingham v Redcar in the league  , Jason Edwards had  3 rides and scored 0 pts and was tac subbed in his 4 th rider 

So how does this make Scunthorpe stronger  ??

I certainly think the guest rules should be changed to make it harder for clubs to strengthen up when missing a rider. A simple change would be to remove the 5% extra for a home rider and make it -5% for an away guest (as you can chose a track expert).
