My brain hurts just reading that 

Ahhh, but....

You need to use such a highly scientific system like rider averages because it means that every season, every team, starts the season almost completely equal...

Well. Apart obviously from those teams who get named on here, before a wheel is turned, as a shoe in for the play offs, or, alternatively, correclty named as spending the season as complete and utter cannon fodder...

It works so well doesn't it?..

I hate the averages system and also the idea of not having riders as assets. It kills the motivation to develop young riders as if their average gets to high, you have to lose them for nothing or lose another top rider. It also doesn't really keep teams that fair either

Stifles aspiration, and ambition,and is clearly open to manipulation..

If must be quite annoying for a rider to miss out on a team place by a few decimal points, knowing one of his team mates last year let him finish in front of him, which, ultimately put his average "too high"...

Even more so if a "bonus point king" gets the place he could have had!!!:D

As we sit here twiddling our thumbs I was just reading a pole of the most boring sports in peoples opinion and of 1000 replies nobody said Speedway,now that can be took two ways either nobody finds Speedway boring or nobody finds who voted has heard of it,just for the record, curling and cricket were the most nominated

The problem there Col, is it’s 2026, not 2023. You’ve picked an anomaly of a season there which is the exception rather than the rule. Put up the season stats for the seasons prior, and after 2023 for a fairer evaluation of his skills in a heatleader position.

2022
Overall
Tobiasz Musielak 9.04
Jack Holder 8.67

Away
Tobiasz Musielak 8.42
Jack Holder 7.22

Definitely that no one has heard of it. I think the only people that knew about it when I was at school was the people I forced to come along with me, most of whom never went again

Most likely unheard of and irrelevant to the 1000 asked

Much better in reality to be known by all and hated by 500 but loved by 500

Edit - looks likes we can at least still blame the Poles :D
