'Returning British Professionals: Returning British professionals can apply for an 8% reduction in their starting average for every season they have missed out of the sport, helping them secure team places.'

so 8+8+8+8+2.5% = 34.5%

4.80 - 34.5% = 3.14.

 

1	Leon Flint	8.25
2	Freddy Hodder	3.31
3	Chris Harris ©	7.93
4	Anders Rowe	6.39
5	Dan Thompson	7.55
6	James Shanes	3.14
7	Smith/Foord

Is that how it works?

You've forgotten the nailed on signing from worky zischke

I like the rule, bit think 8% a season is far too much. Should've just said 2.5% every season missed.

Shanes would be a great signing on that average.

Shanes is a grass tracker, not a speedway rider. He sits in to the bike and doesn’t move. Works in the grass but not on a speedway track where riders need to move as they race. And his NDL average is lower than Jordy Loftus. Add in the fact that he’ll be 30 by the start of next season and, with Glasgow’s history of daft signings, he’s probably nailed on.

I saw Shanes a few times at Armadale in the NDL & he was awesome. Certainly on a par with Loftus, Wood & Foord.

Obviously Champ is stronger, but on a 3 point something ave, is a no brainer for me. Only has to reach a 4 point ave to be a good signing.
