Can you post a link to the Rule, it would be interesting to see them. ATB Dave

New averages are issued the same as before, i.e. the 1st of the month, with the 23rd of the previous month being the cut-off date. ATB Dave

To see how Rolling Averages have a 'smoothing' effect on averages go to http://www.kandysoft.com/averages/gs.htm Rolling Averages give Coventry a team total of 44.1 whereas after one EL Match the 2010 Green Sheet calculations would have given Coventry an average of 51.2! Note that Larsen, Fisher & Morris will retain their 2010 average until they have completed 4H & 4A EL matches. ATB Dave

I would expect the BSPA site to have the RA Green Sheets posted on their site sometime after each cut-off date. (23rd of each Month) Sites managed by AP Media (Andy Povey) will have them updated regularly after each match as will the Coventry website, courtesy of KanDysoft. ATB Dave

I can't say for certain, but I wouldn't think it would apply to NL, and I think it is Peter Morrish who does the NL averages. I think the main idea of Rolling Averages is to lessen all the fluctuations that occur at the beginning of a season. As you say it may benefit those who struggled last year, but equally, anyone who is struggling this year is not likely to drop down to reserve so easily/quickly. ATB Dave

This scenario was not mentioned in discussions (in hindsight maybe it should have been?) As only 2010 and 2011 results count for RA's those riders are considered to be Assessed so, for example, Nicki Pedersen will stay on his previous average until he has done 4H & 4A this season. ATB Dave

In a word.... Yes! ATB Dave

There have been a couple of enquiries on different topics in the EL Section about Rolling Averages and so in case I've missed any similar in the PL Section, below is a brief explanation of how they are calculated. Rolling Averages are calculated using two seasons results (2010 & 2011) to a maximum number of matches equal to the total League Matches for the current season. (2011 EL=28 Matches/PL=38). As the details of each 2011 Meeting are added, the race details from corresponding meeting in 2010 are automatically discounted from the calculations. If a rider completed 29/39 or more matches in 2010, the Spreadsheet automatically only uses the last 28/38 meetings from 2010 for calculations. If a rider completed less than 28/38 matches in 2010, then all of the 2010 figures will be used up until the total number of matches (2010 + 2011) exceeds 28/38. Riders on Assessed/Converted averages will maintain that average until they have completed 4H & 4A. All other riders' Rolling Averages will be effective no matter how many matches they have ridden this year with the usual 23rd of the Month cut-off date. The first revised Green Sheets are due to take effect on May 1st. By the end of the season, a rider who completes 28/38 matches in 2011 will have a Rolling Average that would consist of just his 2011 scores. ATB Dave

Steve, See ladyluck's post http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=59785&view=findpost&p=1852524 Or will you conveniently ignore it as it doesn't support your current spat with Colin. I just wish you two could take your spat off the forum until either of you have something either new constructive to post. ATB Dave

I agree with your sentiments, but sadly, after seeing the forum bickering from both sides there will be some that claim this as a 'victory' for their side, which will of course lead to more sniping from those who see themselves as 'losers'. If the Elite League does expand from the current 8 teams, then the Elite League and all it's supporters are the real winners. I just hope that the Shovlars and Cookes etc. can lay down their arms and accept a Christmas armistice. ATB Dave

Who 'fiddled' their averages then? ATB Dave -
Pawlicki And His Average Manipulation
Gambo replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I believe that it was changed when teams realised that you could afford to lower averages for six matches in order to gain for the remainder of the season. It is a lot harder to claw back those League points 'lost' over 12 matches (1/3rd of the Season)...but not impossible, as recently shown! ATB Dave
