When was the last time Austria competed in a team event?

Also you want to insure against the risk of a rain off, with races dates at a premium at Owlerton.

But that would mean the Chargers riding without Jenkins and Atkins so unlikey in the extreme

I'm not aware of teams being fined for failing to complete fixtures before the cut-off date before despite numerous examples of matches staged after the cut-off date.

<sarcasm alert> Yes shame on Edinburgh for bringing in a ringer with a massive average of <checks notes> 2.56

What? You haven't heard! Peterborough's last match (currently with no date and no bearing on the play-offs) is going to be on 30 October

Most promoters are really enthusiasts indulging in their hobby. If that ceases to be enjoyable because of endless abuse on forums and elsewhere then don't be surprised if their enthusiasm diminishes and they walk away.

Hypothetically of course, but if Tarasenko were to be injured/ill/stuck in Poland etc etc then Tigers would be stuck with r/r (Vissing + reserves x 3) which would make victory a tough proposition.

Will be Oxford. It is always the Champ team that takes priority

There seemed to be a lot of people very disappointed that Poole fans haven't acted more hysterically to this signing. Most of the posts I've seen from Poole fans seem to accept they've been out manouvered. Anyway it will all be decided on track at the end of the day.

No just no.

Would you take the purposive approach or Roman Law interpretive principles though? Easy to understand and "closing all loopholes" generally tend to be conflicting objectives when drafting legislation.

I've got another suggestion that involves linear regression. What would that do them?

Yes as is obvious from Tarasenko (an Ekstraliga heatleader) and Wojdylo (a league one second string) the same average. It would be like giving Jye Etheridge and Brady Kurtz the same average.

One would imagine that the rules (which haven't been written yet, so definitely hypothetical) would either be that his real average takes precedence or it is the higher of tye two so his Prem average would be the one to count. There are other possibilities, for example a weighted average: m x 1.3 x prem average + n x Champ ave -----‐------------‐--------------------------------------------- m + n Where m and n are the number of matches used in determining respective league's greensheets

It's been that way since I started going to speedway in 1970. Reserves were lowest two averages from last six matches. So they changed after every match - but only seven days later.

Issue 27, it's highlighted in green

Yes. It is blindingly obvious from the layout.

No. His new average is from 28 Aug - see latest greensheets. Nothing irregular about that, it's how it has always been.

Technically it must be from 26th as his average goes over 9 on Moonday. But you are right in practice as I think that is Glasgow's next match

Tarasenko 5.00 (until Monday when he goes up to 9.67) is a straight swap for Nowak (5.42) Perfectly legal. Now what does that say about the rules?

But different rules. Harrison can guest every week for Redcar (as Stoneman did for Oxford last year) but unattached riders in the NDL can only guest twice on any track (I think)

Ashton is still being outscored in the NDL by Ryan Kinsley, Jack Smith, Joe Thompson and (before he retired) Kyle Bickley. He is an enormous talent but don't forget Dan Bewley only scored 10 points in his first nine Championship level fixtures. Don't expect too much of him too soon. It will be a valuable learning experience for him, but any points he scores will be a bonus.

Yes of course I know that. But that was not the point of my response. I was seeking to demonstrate the fallaciousness of SS's statement.

Because team managers must give their line ups to BSPL two (?) days before a match. How can they do that if new averages mean a change in riding order in the intervening period. It would create an unworkable situation with programmes having to be printed on the day of the match. And what if a rider achieves his new average in the first half of a double header? Do we have to cross out names in as printed and write in lots of changes? These are good practical reasons why there is a 7 day time lag.
