What I mean is averages of RS don't count towards team building, as long as under 4 they all start level the year after. That's the point of the rising star.
Was in team building rules mate. This year was 40 point limit for 1 to 6 then a rising for each team. RS is anyone under 23 on 1st Jan and an average below 4 the previous season.
Ancient you mean number 13 way back in 2022. You have to be there to bottle it, I'd rather have a recent history of coming second, then not get there at all. Even with a 29 year gap of titles were still 3 clear of second place Poole.
I think it's unlikely he rides again this season imo, the fact he's booked an assessment tells you it wasn't a mild concussion, I'm sure he's desperate to get back but just don't think it's worth the risk.
For team building all RS are classed as 3 point average. That's just the criteria for being allowed on to the list, along with being 23 or under on 1st January.
