Doesn’t matter about the 8point rule now apparently that was only for team building purposes, also Workington recently signed kemp on a 8.07 so that certainly squashed the 8point ruling 

Was it not said that Kemp was reassessed on his Premier average.?

I agree with what you say and I’m just guessing this is the reason🤷‍♂️. The only thing is that Poland was his 4th team to sign for, so have Poland bent the rules for him? If he now is left out of a team the 3 team rule MIGHT apply. Like I say could be totally wrong but can’t see any other reason. Where are all the “rule book” members when you need them😂

Surely not? I'd expect Poland to flex their muscles & tell a rider to drop a league to ride there (most would).

Anyway, my comments about Wright & Klindt were bases on the 8 point rule. But if Klindt's already riding in 4 league, Wright joining him ar Redcar wouldn't change anything? Unless Poland "allowed" because it was a temporary gig?

Think the number of teams rule regarding Poland is for the top polish league only, Doyle and klindt ride in league 2/3 in Poland 

They both ride in the same league and it is subject to the same rules as the Extraliga

Which made him 8.07 as per green sheet average 

Doesn't matter what Drew's average was as long as it was below Craig Cook's average.

The problem was that Cook was 7.99 at the start of the season.

If you read Kemps article in SS he states he is lucky because his Championship average went up but they have reassessed on his Premiership Ave which obviously makes him fit into Workington in place of Cook.His GSA average for Workington is under 8 if you look on Website.

Kemp's statement doesn't make sense! Cook started on 7.99 & went up to 8.39, Kemp signed for Workington on 8.07, which was his converted Prem average. Kemp finished last year on 8.08 in the Champ.

So the rule must be only 1 rider above 8 at the start of the season?

If you look at workington2026 the 2 averages are 8.22 and rolling 7.70.Its 2.00 for this season.Doesn’t really matter though he has signed and rode for them.maybe in the “best interest of sport rule” kicked in again.🤔

I’ve been told that basically the 8pt rule was for team building purposes only and that you could sign a 2nd 8pt rider after the first match.

Sounds like it.Just another rule make up on the back of day packet.Can see it being scrapped next season  when everyone will probably have 2 rider over 8 at the end of this season.Then the sh*t will hit the fan.
