montie Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Takes five minutes to come up with a decent race formula that works. For example four groups of four pairs thirteen teams plus and additional three pairs from the top rated clubs using the top four averages rather than top three. Each pair rides each the other three pairs in their group which equates to twenty four qualifying races winners of each group to race in a semi final then a final. Total twenty seven races. Again Rye House with a top four of Garrity Allen Mellgren and Nelson are not included and all four of these riders would grace the event. For me the best meeting of the year but i'll not go without a team to support and i am sure that there are a lot of like minded supporters of the three clubs. Will be the same for the fours, almost as thought the BSPA don't want to run a successful event. Yes the knockers will say 32 riders will cost extra but how much dough will be lost at the turnstyles, My forty quid for a start Takes five minutes to come up with a decent race formula that works.

daveallan81 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 That's the old National League Pairs formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 A little difficult I would have thought, given that as of the cut-off date (1st May), only seven official fixtures had been run. So how do Ty Proctor and Simon Stead have averages? Surely they dont count?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellioth4 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) who is attending the meeting and able to access internet on fri, to see if meeting is on, if you can please send me a pm, as i'm on holiday and would be good if i can ask someone to check throughout the day. Thanks Elliot sorted now, got someone to update me on weather. Edited May 25, 2013 by Elliot Hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not listed on BSPA events link. Possible that they could get Plymouths place if Proctor is out. If they do surely Worrall isnt elligible? Thought it had to be 2 of the top3 by average at the start of the season and Worral is 5. Tully is of course injured but to get down to Worrall would mean Lindgren not prioritising British fixtures again - and this one hasnt been rearranged!

Shadders Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Would've been interesting to see how Allen & Mellgren would've gone around the OTA, but I'll have to wait until the Friday after the Pairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george.m Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I'm amazed he's being used after last years performance to be honest! I was amazed after the initial announcement as Grievsey is a past winner. Wondered I there was perhaps a personal reason for Grievsey not participating considering recent events.

Shadders Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Arent stead and hall both injured? Will sheffield still take part? Richard Hall rode in the KOC match against Rye House a couple of weeks ago. I'm not aware that he's suffered another injury since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
