If the track is the lowest part of the area, why do I walk uphill from the car park to the track?
There is the very large grass area alongside the stadium which must be 3 or 4 metres above the track level.

Possibly because last night Katharina Anderweit was the Jury Secretary- not a name i recognise- maybe her 1st meeting doing it and she understandingly didn`t wan`t to make a mistake
- Gambo might know.
I believe it was her first meeting as Secretary. She is sharing the role with Mike Poss.
To come to the decision regarding 8th place you first have to trace the races where the riders met. Then you would discover that, as per the SGP Regulations (9.2 Page 22), A beat B, B beat C and C beat A. Thus bringing in the rule regarding lowest SGP number.
It all takes time and you want to be sure that you have got it right!
KanDysoft no longer provides FIM with Software. I agreed to step aside due to the fact that Baansport can provide a far better on-site support. They have similar software but I believe that the change in software (for Referees & Secretaries) takes a bit of getting used to, as is to be expected.
KanDysoft software gave a quick look up guide to the heats, but I'm not aware as to whether the Baansport software does this.
Glad to say that my own copies of SGP software (Just £12 for the whole series, and you can do a print out with the Rider names for each SGP!) gave the correct S/F line ups.

Leicester home leg to be postponed due to a re-arranged Lions v King's Lynn fixture (now Thursday 11th May), to avoid two meetings in 3 days at the stadium.

Hello.
Can someone please explain to me, or at least point me in the right direction to find, how the official greensheet averages are claculated?
I understand how a Rolling average is calculated I think, but this never seems to be anywhere near what the actual official greensheet average is for a rider, i.e. the one that would appear in the matchday program
Cheers
Match day programmes are usually up to and including the last meeting for that team, whereas the Green Sheets are usually updated after 23rd of the month, to take effect on the first day of the following month.
Green Sheets will also be updated as and when an assessed Rider achieves the required number of meetings to be given an 'official' average.

And that. ladies and gentlemen (whether you self-identify as such or not) is a symbol of where the sport is going wrong, if you have to target the grandparents generation for your income stream.
If being a mascot qualifies you, then how about programme and raffle ticket sellers?
FFS! It's a Challenge match!

But there has been no redeclaration so questionable relevance.
Wolves have re-declared their team since 2022 if you need to be pedantic.

Bad news. R/r or guest?
010.5 FACILITIES
No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a re-declaration has not made an appearance for that team since being re-declared. -
I personally don't have a problem with Testimonials, or farewells.
If I don't think the particular rider deserves it, I won't bother going.

Obviously not comprehensive enough , as you've still failed to understand , I notice that you have changed tack now & it's now "they " sold Leicester & not C O.
I am in no way trying to justify what happened, but did the decision to sell happen some time after that terrible fire at Bradford? Football, and wooden stands (like Leicester's) were then deemed unsafe.

I was there and yes it was hot but Morris is not blameless, we have been racing there for over 20 years, they should know how to get the track right whatever the weather considering it has a roof which was closed so it wasn't just the heat that was at fault,gp2 the next day was even worse.
I don't think that it was actually the weather that caused the problems. I believe it was found that stones had been allowed to get into the shale mix, making it unable to bind as normally expected.

Maybe, but that will not affect JD’s average as bonus points are included in the calculation.
Bonus Points not included in the Green Sheets.

Noticed in Poland this season the lowering of the height of the bottom tape from 53 cm to 30 cm on a FIM recommendation to produce fairer starts.Will this be the the case in GB and other Countries.?
This was actually proposed by one of the former Referees a few years ago, but nothing came of it.
I've noticed in the past where at some tracks, although the tapes are level (horizontal), they sit well above the height of the wheel spindle on the I/S gates due to a camber in the track.

Here's an idea:
Instead of assessed averages being an absolute (and arbitrary) figure replace them with notional appearances with notional points and rides.
Example
Let's say that our rolling averages are over 8 matches (but the principle is the same whatever number you use)
Assessed average of 4.5 equates to 32 rides and 36 points.
Say our rider scores 12 from 5 on his debut.
We remove 4 rides and 4.5 points from his rolling totals and add the 5 rides and 12 points
New average is 5.27
Consider how this might give averages more reflective of their abilities for Adam Roynon, Joe Alcock, George Congreve, Luke Killeen, Ashton Boughen, Luke Harrison.
Not a bad idea, that, and wouldn't take much to implement.
Sadly, it's too late for this season.

Officially incorrect.
Although you may regard it as factually incorrect, it is the official result and is what the Green Sheet averages are calculated on.
Using the 'wrong' result, James Wright's average would increase from 5.65 to 5.73.
Adam Roynon's 3.56 average would reduce to 3.44.
Too much time on my hands on a Sunday morning!

So the Speedway GB website is wrong? Thank you.
The Referee's scorecard (which is the Official result) shows Etheridge, Roynon, Wright, Knudsen.

At a recent Nuneaton S C meeting, Martin Smolinski said that the Anlas GP tyres were only produced to last two races. (one edge per race).
Don't know whether that is the same compound as used for UK racing.

Easter Saturday at Leicester is looking the most likely date but as Skidder has said just awaiting a couple of riders to confirm their availability.
Emil and Artem to bring Poole up to the Lions' level?

Looks like the reference to reducing to 10 meetings at the end of the season has been removed.
