Diceyccfc1966 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Why do they over complicate things .. Host club and previous winning club qualify automatically. Two semi's of 6 with the top 3 qualifying from each group. Each club can add any two riders . Surely that is a more sensisble qualification ?

What's wrong with deciding qualification on the combined average of the top two in a team? It's straightforward and sensible. That way you don't have to have a supplementary qualification rule if the hosts are the previous year's winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because eventually the pairs will be decided by your starting average at the beginning of the year . Rolling averges will not fluctuate like previous systems.

SCB Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 What's wrong with deciding qualification on the combined average of the top two in a team? It's straightforward and sensible. That way you don't have to have a supplementary qualification rule if the hosts are the previous year's winner. So it's top 2 in the averages, but you can use your 2nd and 3rd in the average for the meeting? Or in Newcastles case 2nd and 5th! If it's any two of your top 3, you should use the top 3 riders averages. And why use rolling averages? The 2011 pairs is based on half of 2010s meetings :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I thought I read on the BSPA that Ashworth had Withdrawn, but it was not announced who would take his place,Sanchez or Skidmore Maybe. I think the plan is for Ricky to take his place in the Pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoaty Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Because eventually the pairs will be decided by your starting average at the beginning of the year . No it won't, it will be based on the rolling averages at the 1st June, or whatever month it's run in. Rolling averges will not fluctuate like previous systems. They will fluctuate, just not by as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the process for deciding there will be people moaning that it should be different. Just thank the gods they're not basing it on scores in heat 15 any more.

Lovey Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 There has to be some qualification process. Why use top the three averages? Why use only 2011 averages? Whatever the process for deciding there will be people moaning that it should be different. Just thank the gods they're not basing it on scores in heat 15 any more. There doesn't need to be a selection process. They should simply devise a format that enables all the teams to take part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will fluctuate, just not by as much. And the rolling averages are over 35~ 36 matches ? which will go back into the previous year ?

Arson fire Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 No offence and being selfish.... but Hope not!! Will give Lemo a chance to get fit and give us a fighting chance.we deserve a bit of fortune... I presume plymouths withdrawal would still stand for the re staging, even if Barker is available???
