Premier League Best Pairs


Recommended Posts

For meetings such as the Pairs, Riders Championship and 4TT does every team have to use the riders at the top of there averages e.g. top 4 averaged riders for 4TT or can they use one outside of the top 4 even if the whole team is available.

In view of the problems caused by the qualification criteria for the fours can our super 7 organiser come onto this thread and give us the rules for qualification for this competition NOW,

 

cut off date for averages

minimum number of matches to get a qualification average

what happens if one or both of the pair have to withderaw (or all 7 riders have to withdraw)

what the criteria for the nominated pair will be

 

if we have this information now it will stop the discussions going on on the fours thread

 

so come on let us know now

No answer from Mr Chapman about the selection process for the pairs, perhaps once again we will find out after the selection has been made

 

 

If you are expecting a reply on the forum, I doubt he has even seen the post. I'm pretty sure if you email him, you will get a reply.

I doubt he makes the rules up himself so it's entirely possible that the powers that be ain't decided what they are yet :P

Why he put his comments on about the fours why not this.

 

If the BSPA dont know the rules yet, then it just leaves things wide open for criticism when the decision is made.

 

If they know the rules lets have them now, so we all know where we stand.

 

Have emailed the BSPA but didnt get a reply

I would be very surprised to find us out of the Pairs, I think come the selection on the 1st June we will find that Sheffield will be there.

might be relevant, just wondered what your selection criteria would be as a fan.

 

 

Top 10 pairs according to their averages on whatever date, i wouldnt seed anyone because i cant see whay 1 team should be seeded over another.

 

would also have a minimum number of matches of at least 3 home and 3 away for a riders averages to count.

 

once the pairs are selected then that should be it. If a rider gets injured then the next one in that teams averages should take over. Set the cut off date about 1st week in june so riders and fans know what they are doing.

 

thats it not rocket science so i dont know why we cant have the actual criteria now instead of after the qualifying teams have been announced

OK cut off time gone by, I'd have to go with the following qualifiers:-

 

1) Somerset - Zetterstrom/Kramer 19.24

2) Kings Lynn - Nermark/Topinka 18.37

3) IoW - Holder/Bunyan 18.29

4) Glasgow - Parker/Stancl 18.06

5) Workington - Wright/Nieminen 17.78

6) Sheffield - Compton/Ashworth 17.30

7) Birmingham - Lyons/Ostergaard 17.07

8) Rye House - Woffinden/Boxall 16.46

9) Redcar - Grieves/Tresarrieu 16.04

10) Edinburgh - Correy/Lawson 15.33 **

or

10) Newcastle - Henry/France 15.22 **

 

**Unsure at the moment of the status of William Lawson - if he has moved full time to Wolves then he would be replaced by Henrik Moller reducing Edinburgh combined averages down to 14.51 and they would be replaced by Newcastle as shown

 

Averages not including bonus points. Riders fit to ride at qualification date. All riders to have ridden at least 3 home & 3 away fixtures.

As we are now 30 days before the event shouldnt we know the teams that have qualified for the final?

 

Announced on 1st June according to Super7even website!!

 

Cant even keep to their own deadline

 

so if it's announced on 1st June, i think some people are having a go just for the sake of it ... my calendar here says it's 31st May, i could be wrong i spose.

 

if it's not up by close of play tomorrow then have a go and get your emails out and start your ranting over again, but at the moment, no deadlines have been missed.
