Rolling Averages


Recommended Posts

Yes-Dave Gambrill Kandysoft spreadsheets-he is the main man ;)

fair enough but surely even he needs to be told what rules to apply??

 

On second thoughts it may have gone like this -

 

BSPA - "Dave we've decided to use 36 and 28 matches for the averages this year"

 

Dave - "but I already have the old versions running nicely"

 

BSPa - "OK leave it as it is then"

More like the other way round! ;)

 

The actual template we now use can cope with any number & combination of matches.

Edinburghs June set show both Worrall and Sneddon on 5.35.

It would good if someone was able to post the totals used for the calculation so it is in the open as to which has the higher average when taken to further decimal places.

I believe that in these instances a Promoter can chose which rider is nominated as the higher if it affects Heat Leader or Reserve positions. Once the choice is made, it cannot be changed.

SR 16.3.1. In any declaration where 2 or more Riders hold an identical MA (i.e. cannot be determined by

a 3rd or more decimal point) then the (re) Declaration must nominate the hierarchical order

except that where Riders have a previous MA then the higher placed Rider from the previous

issue shall retain the higher position.

Can anyone tell me when and WHY these bloody 'Rolling Averages' started please.

 

I don't fully understand them and neither do a lot of others who I talk to.

To stop average fiddling. By always including 20+ meetings 2 or 3 bad meetings will only make a tiny dent in a riders average. 2 or 3 bad meetings in 6 will make a massive difference.

 

They are a good thing tbf.

so unless both records are identical there is a definitive order and no choice. Thanks.

 

Edit - Anyone have the 2 sets of figures to be able to post?

agree re stopping the fiddles.

In the PL this year though depending on fixture timing 6 of the 24 fixtures included could be against just 1 club out of the 13.

Thank you BSPA for not even bothering to acknowledge my email request let alone providing the info.

I'm pretty sure they were removed straight after Birmingham's demise and the averages recalculated accordingly.

Ah, but Ben Barker signed for Coventry on 5.94 (his real time rolling average). His 2013 rolling average 6.47. So clearly Bens average was not recalculated. Similarly, Danny King signed for Lakeside no 6.71 replacing Bech (7.39) but his 2013 figure was 7.46 so wouldn't have fitted. Kennett also guested for Milik when his 2013 figure was higher than Miliks 2014 figure (at the time).

 

There no consistency at all.
