Lovey Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Rolling Averages shouldn't be used to select teams for this event. We still can't avoid assessed averages, but using the current actual CMAs for riders who have completed the minimum number of matches would be a better way of rewarding 2011 form. And here is one view taken from speedway-stats.co.uk, as of today (13 June @ 12:30) - the pairings are very interesting, based on 2011 form: Newcastle 18.71 Lemon & Robson Edinburgh 18.69 Cook & Tully Workington 18.51 Kildemand & Wright Glasgow 18.31 Screen & Grajczonek Rye House 18.13 Neath & Frampton Plymouth 17.55 Barker & Bunyan (Both Assessed) Somerset 17.16 North & Hefenbrock Ipswich 17.11 Doolan & Bjerre Berwick 16.99 Franc & Smith Sheffield 16.95 Ashworth & Parker Redcar 16.73 Kus & Summers Newport 16.32 Doyle & Lanham Leicester 15.82 Darkin & Hall Scunthorpe 14.40 Howe & Wilson Edited June 13, 2011 by Lovey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repairman Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 debbie hancok and somerset and bspa must be rubbing hands together because newportwasps would have won the pairs i think somerset are running now because newport got a very good team Here we go again it's all Debbie Hancock & Somersets Fault that Newport aren't allowed in.

topaz325 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Has anyone else noticed that the admission charge for this meeting has gone up to £20 PL average admission around £14.00, BSPA meeting, about 23 heats of Speedway, admitedley £20.00 is a lot for some people in these financlly challenging times.

topaz325 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Does anyone know Workingtons top 3 average riders as of June 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoobie Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Or if Topinka is fit ... They way he's rode this year i very much doubt we'll be waiting on thomas, we'd have a better chance without him IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHayes Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Does anyone know Workingtons top 3 average riders as of June 1st? James Wright - 8.78 Tomas Topinka - 7.53 Rusty Harrison - 7.14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 James Wright - 8.78 Tomas Topinka - 7.53 Rusty Harrison - 7.14 Thanks, surprised Peter Kildemand had not broken in to the top three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovey Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Going by GSA's from 1st June...... combined average after rider names <Snip> The selection process was by the top two averages, irrespective of their current status (eg. injured or assessed), and the teams can then select two from the top three to represent the club.

Lovey Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks, surprised Peter Kildemand had not broken in to the top three. That's because the CMA is based on the so-called "Rolling" average, which includes 2010's amtches, and therefore flattens out the scoring. Take a look at the excellent speedway-stats.co.uk, where you will see that this season, Kildemand is actually #1 at Workington: Peter Kildemand 9.58 (NBP 8.83) James Wright 8.93 (NBP 8.36) Rusty Harrison 8.67 (NBP 7.60) Tomas Topinka 8.00 (NBP 7.24) Richard Lawson 7.47 (NBP 6.34) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that all I was doing was showing all of the teams in the league or is there something wrong with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovey Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I know that all I was doing was showing all of the teams in the league or is there something wrong with that? Nothing wrong - it's just that as a stand-alone posting the totals don't make sense, ie. some of the rider choices in the selected teams mean their totals are lower than the teams that missed out. eg. Somerset won their place because of McGowan's average, while Plymouth are there because of Bunyan. Ipswich's (lack of) selection is based on Doolan & Risager (not Doolan & Bjerre as your posting implies), and Scunthorpe's top two is Howe & Haines (not Aarnio).

Cliffeboy Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Interesting pairings,can`t see much further than Sheffield or Newcastle for first place,with Redcar outsiders,Lyons goes very well at the OTA.It all depends on which Cory turns up for the Rebels,if he puts in a Coorrryy Gaaatheercole performance the Rebels could be in with a shout.I`ll be there,can`t wait.

Cliffeboy Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well scratch the Diamonds,looks like no Lemo,looking very good for Sheffield now,but I have to say favourites have never won in the Pairs when it has been staged at the OTA.

Bash Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 What a joke the premier league pairs is! Out of the 10 confirmed teams only 3 teams are using their current top two riders. It is meant to be the best pairs so how can the rules be any two from the top three of each competing team, that is not a best pairs.Okay Sheffield and Glasgow have injured riders in their top two, but whats the excuse for the other teams! No disrepect to Plymouth but how can they use their number five in their averages, when the rules state any two from top three. I agree with some of the other postings when they should have two qualifying competitions to get to the final or even run it like the fours final and have it all on one day, say at Newport the day after the Grand Prix. It can't be called the PL Best Pairs unless every team gets a chance to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlasgowBoy2 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Strange to see Ben Barker in this meeting as he has raced less meetings than Joe Screen had this time last year ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
