Totally agree there SCB, it is the easiest and quickest way of logging results indeed. All the KanDysoft (both the official and publicly available) spreadsheets use this method (input R,B,W or Y) for filling in race results, and the majority automatically show gate stats.

Chris and Nigel sit in a room away from the studio, so 'back in the studio' is technically correct! Don't recall hearing either say "Here in Auckland............" etc. ATB Dave

In Kennetts case, just the last 12 meetings from 2010. In the previous years a rider may have had an imbalance in Home and Away matches due to injury, GP's etc. ATB Dave

The earliest start date for all Rolling Averages is 2010. Assessed riders who did not achieve 4H & 4A in a previous season will still be on their assessed averages until they achieve 4H 4A in the current season. As far as I am aware it is 28/38 (EL/PL) matches. ATB Dave

I can confirm that the promoters have decided that Rolling Averages, (which initially had a start dating from the 2010 season avearges) will continue in the same vein. All rolling averages will be compiled from a rider's last 28 (EL) or 38 (PL) matches irrespective of how many years that may encompass. For example Eddie Kennett's RA for the start of 2012 will be his 16 completed matches from 2011 plus his last 12 matches from 2010. ATB Dave

I'd like to see some 'gain' from actually reaching the Semi Finals & Final. Maybe:- S/F 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 (With zero points for a non-finish) Final 6 - 4 - 2 - 1 (With zero points for a non-finish) ATB Dave

Lindback??? Never ridden in the uk????? The other rider assessments are listed in the rule book.........if you can find one. They may be +1 or -1. (Depending upon who is asking.) ATB Dave

Based on todays conversion rate $1 = £0.626 a rough guide to GP earnings in 2011 are:- Greg Hancock $87,400 = £54,712.40 Andreas Jonsson $70,250 = £43,976.50 Jaroslaw Hampel $63,500 = £39,751.00 Jason Crump $55,350 = £34,649.10 Tomasz Gollob $59,000 = £36,934.00 Emil Sayfutdinov $56,850 = £35,588.10 Kenneth Bjerre $52,550 = £32,896.30 Chris Holder $59,250 = £37,090.50 Fredrik Lindgren $50,550 = £31,644.30 Nicki Pedersen $59,250 = £37,090.50 Chris Harris $48,050 = £30,079.30 Antonio Lindback $47,950 = £30,016.70 Rune Holta $40,450 = £25,321.70 Janusz Kolodziej $39,000 = £24,414.00 Artem Laguta $32,500 = £20,345.00 Including all the Track Reserves and Wild Cards (not listed above) I reckon total Prize Money to be in the region of £600,000.

In a word... No! Only matches and rides during the time that you have been in the declared line up of a team count towards the Rolling Average. You can ride for more than one team in a season. e.g. James Wright Workington & Somerset. ATB Dave

Rolling Averages were brought in because the Promoters wanted them. I may be failing to see your point, but it is harder to manipulate a 28 match Rolling Average. A rider who has completed the 2011 Elite season will have his average worked out over his last 28 matches. A rider who has missed matches in 2011 still has an average worked out over his last 28 matches. So they are both calculated using the same criteria. How much fairer can you get? Hans Andersen started with his 2010 average of 8.39 and currently has an RA of 8.27. Having only completed 2 matches so far this season (for a two match average of 5.60), under previous rules he would start next year on 8.39 and not his RA of 8.27. ATB Dave

Looks like the GP has been moved to 3:00 pm according to the latest listings. http://skyplustv.sky.com/tv-guide#/ ATB Dave

I think it was a three-way tie with Holder, Laguta and Emil. Emil beat Holder, Holder beat Laguta and Laguta beat Emil. Checked the rules... In that instance lowest race jacket takes precedence. Holder 8, Emil 12, Laguta 13. ATB Dave

Whilst being an indicator of form it would then mean even more 'issues' of team averages. We are currently on Issue 20 in the Elite League and there would be even more fluctuations in averages, which I believe is why Rolling Averages were brought in. Just imagine if a team were certain of their place in the Play-Offs! How much average manipulation would be going on in their final few matches..........? ATB Dave

So, How many matches do you think the PL Rolling Average should be over? At the end of the season the PL riders' averages would be calculated from their 38 matches anyway, whether you used R/A's or the pre-2011 method. Next season, (if R/A's are retained) a greater number of riders will have their averages calculated over a common number of matches (EL 28 and PL 38) even if they didn't compete in all matches this year, due to injuries etc. ATB Dave
