Rule 17.4.4

[lucifer sam]

This rule reads:

 

17.4.4 A Rider starting the season with an Assessed MA will have a new Established MA upon completing 4 Home and 4 Away fixtures, which becomes effective 7 days after the last qualifying Meeting. Should an Established MA not be achieved in order to be effective from 1st May, then the MC will issue a revised MA, based upon actual rides if the Team re-declares.

 

 

Say a team is trying to introduce rider C into a team, in place of rider B. Rider A has an assessed average, but has only completed 5 to 7 league matches.

 

From the above, my reading would be that Rider A would get his average from the 5 to 7 meetings he has completed at this point as his new CMA.

 

Is there any other way of reading this? It seems fairly umambigious to me.

Yes, that pretty much says to me is if a team declares after May 1st, the rider technically only has to have raced 1 meeting to get an average. Good luck getting to them stick to this rule though.

[lucifer sam]

SCB, thanks. Yes you've read it the same way. I can't see how it can be intrepreted differently, can you?

Who makes up these rules stephen hawking ? What a load of soiled pants. Rubbish complicated rules for a simple sport.

[dontforgetthefueltapsbruv]

Lets use my Ippo as an example to check Im reading this right.

Hawkins is going at end of short term contract -4.82 average.

 

Team toatal currently allows replacement upto 5.20 BUT Adam Ellis COULD be reassessed at say 4.25 given his scores to date meaning the replacement has to be under 4.82.

 

Of course this is all IF the MC decide to reassess Adam on redeclaration as it doesnt seem to say it WILL use the scores to date - it say BASED upon.

 

So again its all down to IF a rule is implemented and it COULD be a different decision depending on who is askng who!

"then the MC will issue a revised MA, based upon actual rides if the Team re-declares."

(my bold)

 

But there's a "will" earlier in the sentence. Which suggests if a team does redeclare, a new average does have to be issued for riders still on assessed averages. And as it's "based upon" actual rides, surely that's what the rider has averaged so far.

 

There's lots of IFs, BUTs and MAYBEs in the rulebook, but this one looks fairly unambigious. I can only see one intrepretation.
