Given Berwick got something like 22 points left for 5 riders it not huge and other clubs be the same. Maybe a 2 pointer at reserve leaves four from 20 points left? I know i am a mile out but a team like this would fit Kerr, Howarth, Sclein, Jye, Bowtell, Coles, Hodder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,155 Posted November 27, 2023 The way the format works, it should be best to have 2 strong heat leaders (as Berwick do) as they get an extra ride in heat 15, then 4 second strings on similar averages (meaning one will be at reserve) then having a 2.00 number 7 who only needs 3 rides. Using a second 2.00 rider (meaning 8 rides for 2.00 men not 3) to allow a stronger 3rd heat leader doesn't make sense to me - unless you have very promising 2.00 reserves (like Oxford do). So for me Etheridge is a fair 3rd heat leader in a weaker league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
