  1. Perhaps the promoters left the agm all thinking that no one was barred Only when certain riders turned certain promoters down was the proposal made and introduced......
  2. So 2.24 becomes 2 and 2.76 becomes 3 So 2 riders .52 apart are changed to 1 point apart The lower rider may well be very sought after and the higher rider not so....
  3. It as close to being relevant than a points per ride average.....
  4. But where does the leeway stop? Allow one team to use a rider that 0.03 over and then another team asks to use a rider 0.06 over - its only the same leeway over the agreed leeway. Soon gets silly......
  5. To be fair it not a difficult concept to grasp (or shouldnt be) Thanks Grachan for taking the time to type out the explanation!
  6. A team scoring 46 match points will have a total average around 42.50 for team building not 46
  7. Gradings are more unfair than averages There always has to be a cut off somewhere How do you set the gradings? Most likely using average bands. So instead of all teams building to 42.50 you have 1 grade A (9 point+) 2 Grade B (7.50 to 9) 2 Grade C (4.50 to 7.50) 1 Grade D (3 to 4.50) 1 Grade E (under 3) Team 1 signs riders on 10, 8.99, 8.99, 7.49, 7.49, 4.49 and 2.99 - 50.44 Team 2 riders on 9, 7.5, 7.5, 4.5, 4.5, 3 and 2 - 38 Extreme example perhaps but gradings would be less likely to achieve parity of teams and riders woukd still not fit due to being 0.01 over the limit and being put in the next grading
  8. Id call it common sense - thats why only a few manage it
  9. Proctor should 5.5 (7.15÷1.3) from his Championship average as he didnt have a Premiership place TJ is different as he achieved a Premiership average and so his Championship figure is irrelevant
  10. That must be Ipswich and Redcar then as I believe all was set for Leicester and Sheffield to swap despite the result of the promotiin/relegation play off had Thursday been agreed for the Premiership. Shouldve called their bluff and stuck to what was agreed as the best way forward.....
  11. Fee must surely be higher for a National Champion
  12. So are will still claiming Rohan as a Witch??? Congratulations to the new Australian Champion
  13. So swap and share before the season has even started....
  14. Most seem to have pinned the predictions on getting Scott Anybody got a 1-7 without him - which is more likely unfortunately.....
  15. So Tungate simply wanted it more then and done what was needed - it was to decide a National Championship after all. The ref obviously didnt see it as unfair and you roll the dice and take the odds
  16. Absolutely agree he is still young but it is already becoming a trait of his All the talent in the world wont make up for it if he cant get it right between the ears when the crunch time comes....
  17. By that if all those that dont get a discount undertook a similar boycott the crowd would be down 70/75%.....
  18. If said new non Brit has such a great chance of improving their average that just shows the original assessment has been set too low..... The league doesnt really need new 5 point and sub 5 point riders I would set entry level at min 6
