They won’t no, but then why have that quoted rule? They’d just simply say use any rising star off the list who hasn’t already got a place. The question is, is his converted championship average used?

No, Harrison’s converted championship average isn’t used, it would be used if he guested at 6 for example 🤷🏻‍♂️ but he’s just classed as a rising star

The guy is talking absolute crap, they're both rising stars 

Exactly, hence why the average of the rising star isn’t taken into account during team building 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s not taken into account here either! They’re just rising stars, end of… the only time their average is taken into account is when it goes above 2 other riders in their team and they have to go into the main body (happened with Brennan years ago and Rowe I think)

You need to read the regulations (quoted in Aries post above)

Average is taken into account when a RS guest is needed

Witches need to press this as a point of principle

The Kvech taking 2 RS rides was allowable by the regs although morally wrong. Harrison riding may be morally correct but isn't allowable within the regs  - you can't have it both ways......

If they don’t let Harrison ride then I’d ask Boughen to come back in, say he wants to give it a go and then just withdraw during heat 2, then let Kvech take his other 2 🙌🏻

So Lynn just sign him for the rest of the season rather than guest then.He should basically be able start like all rising stars at the start of the season and their averages didn't count.

Yeah they can do that - in that circumstance his average is irrelevant 

Too late to redeclare now though so stuck with the guest situation for Thursday :P

Right  - wheres the factor 50???? :D

TBH, they could probably have waited until tomorrow morning to make the call. Every time I look on the Met Office it’s been changing! Wasn’t so bad an hour or two ago, but rain now pushed out til 6-7 tomorrow evening. Could have waited until early tomorrow, checked a more accurate forecast, and then made a call which would still have given everyone plenty of notice.

This should be a written rule imo,matches not being called off until a forecast on the day of the meeting.
