  1. Me too but it would be welcomed if he did. Whilst he didn't set the world alight during his short stint he certainly showed enough to convince me that with a full season he would be the No1 you would hope and expect him to be
  2. It may be about right but I would still say it should therefore be declared that he has been assessed that way as opposed to using the 2011 average That way if another rider returns to the league after such a long break he can be reassessed fairly rather than a precedent having been set of using such an old average It's not just about NP but thinking a few steps ahead as to how someone else may use such a decision to manipulate a future change to gain unfair advantage
  3. You are probably right but using an average that is 9 years old is crazy IMO
  4. Replace pit boards? Wheres the money for that? Perhaps it will be some black paint and a stick of chalk instead
  5. But it wasnt clearly and that's the problem. Often a regulations CLEARLY have a particular intention but generally you find a team or 2 twisting it in a literal sense for an advantage If it is then changed to stop a manipulation it invariably means it then affects another rider the original intent didn't mean to exclude People often want black and white but then still expect to be able to add their own subjective view
  6. Amazing as ever I'm sure it's like the swan on a pond which looks serene and beautiful above the surface but no doubt paddling furiously under the water
  7. What just any U21? If so last year Kings Lynn could've effectively built to 50 points with GP rider Robert Lambert at 7 .... Is that really what you want?
  8. Just a little joke - there would be no vote As you you say only 7 teams so desperate times and even Poole are welcomed by everyone
  9. If the CL say no do they have to then get permission to come back to the PL Could be an interesting vote.....
  10. November til March is the best time to have him now. April til October he is bang average with just the all too few WOW moments
  11. Cant see any Witches side containing Cook or Schlein.....
  12. A severely flawed plan IMO - doesnt solve the doubling up problem and just makes manipulation by top flight clubs making changes more of a possibility
  13. All sorts of relatively simple solutions but out of the grasp of those making the decisions I'd expect - also too many struggle with the most simplistic of calculations for the current averages as it is!!
  14. It is a different issue because the conversion example you used isnt the regulatory rate - until it is then it is a different issue I did say that I agreed the ratio you stated was more realistic in terms of the real world difference and therefore would be a better position to use I also believe it would be relatively straightforward to use that realistic conversion rate as well as using results from both leagues for those doubling up so that every rider only ever has one average (at least for team building/changes purposes)
  15. I tend to agree but I think you need to find some way of building in a fair and realistic differential
  16. That's a different issue - ie is the conversion rate correct I'd say the figures you quote are quite possibly a more accurate reflection if how things should be rather than the actual conversion in the regs It surely wouldn't be too hard to work out an average average using performances from both leagues where applicable
