Current team total is 49.45, allows up to 6.86 to replace Kyle.

The 16th being the day after Swindon complete their 4h/4a so all eight Clubs will have done so. If Swindon's meeting on 15th is rained off new averages won't be issued.

You mean 6.62? The 4h/4a figure has no relevance

Honours even as Jake beats Tom comfortably in Ht 8 Jake beat Tom in Ht 14 too

Swop Ostergaard and Starke in Peterborough's line-up.

I'm sure Berwick will have something to say if Nick Morris rides in Poland today - he's declared to lead their team at Peterborough at 5pm!

There are no cracks in that particular regulation, Peterborough were simply astute enough to use it to its fullest extent. As to the wider question of averages, points limits and conversion rates - that's a different kettle of fish entirely....

That's certainly been the case in previous years.

My comment was squarely aimed at the repeated accusations that Peterborough had cheated when they clearly had not. With the deadline for seasonal changes now 31/7 the GSAs will only be of use for team changes for around five weeks of the season - merely influencing team positioning for the final months of the season.

Why would I be happy? I have no direct interest in the meeting concerned. I was however aware of the rule, having successfully requested exactly the same ruling for a Coventry Storm meeting in 2015. (Edited for typo)

Try Art 15.12 of the Speedway Regulations

Good points, and I agree that this season is unusual, as it has been in a number of ways as we move back from the fast-track system to pure averages as we know them from the 2018 season. This isn't only a Championship issue, Kings Lynn have also been able to make a team change based on 'mixed averages' that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. 'Nothing to see here' referred to the veiled(or not so veiled) accusations here that Peterborough had in some way cheated, when in fact they have simply used the rules as written to their best effect.

This particular aspect of averages and team-building has always been part of the sport, and choosing the right timing of team-changes to take advantage of changes in average is a sign of shrewd management. There's really nothing to see here......

And their new averages will come into effect once their seven competitor teams have completed 4h and 4a!

A result stands after Heat 10 It is ........

This is also incorrect. National Development Teams are permitted to retain assets that are already registered to them, but are no longer permitted to register new assets.

Your understanding of the Coventry asset situation is totally incorrect.

It would only be the case that new averages cannot be used for the next home meeting if that meeting fell in the seven-day 'window' after being achieved. Art 16.2.6.1 Updated MAs will be calculated on all eligible meetings, up to and including Mondays meetings each fortnight for issue on Thursday to become effective from the next Monday. Art 16.2.7 A SGB Premiership or Championship League rider will establish an MA after 4 Home and 4 Away fixtures, becoming effective 7 days after the last qualifying Meeting.... As far as I can see Ellis completed his 4th away meeting on 27/5 so will have a new average from Sat 3rd June

Art 16.5.1(i) shows that a facility is available if a rider 'is on FIM Longtrack Championship duty (for the day of the Meeting only; no facility is permitted for practice day).'

Ridiculous comment to make. Meetings are abandoned by the referee, not the home promotion. No promotion wants a mid-meeting abandonment, they are inconvenient for all and very expensive.

It was......

An extremely experienced promoter, who understands all the complexities of the process, is prepared to draw up a draft list for consultation and amendment. What can possibly be farcical about that?

For any grown-ups still following this thread - the track is perfect, no rain here (although there is around the stadium). Workington won toss and took 1&3.
