Arson fire Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Whilst I agree rolling averages had to be brought in to stop certain teams cheating. Why not go back to the old system for meetings like this, up to date current averages should mean the best current teams are in the meeting. Same goes for the pairs. Or is that too simple? too simple!! Or even devise a format where each team is involved and start the meeting earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner47 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hopefully the programme design will be a bit more user friendly this year. The two semis are pre printed, then when the final comes around it takes ages (for those wealthy enough to splash out £4 on a prog) to fill in all the names. Wouldn't it be simpler to just put the names in once, and have a grid going from left to right. I've just done one and it's quite easy, even for a simple Suffolk lad like me.

barrow boy Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 How about seeding Berwick as last year's winners direct to this year's final and then dividing the remaining 12 teams into 3 groups of 4 with all teams staging a home meeting. The 3 group winners then join the holders in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I think the tactical side re how the reserves are utilised could decide the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 It may be worthwhile checking the EL section Peterborough vs Kings Lynn roadworks topic if travelling from the North as it looks like there could be a bit of a detour if you were going to use the roads mentioned.

Fozzie4388 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Doyle will now miss this meeting due to the SWC. Presume Newman will be in (Wonder what they'll do about a reserve with Nielsen and Perry injured). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume Newman will be in (Wonder what they'll do about a reserve with Nielsen and Perry injured). Knowing the rulebook its probably an EL guest with an average between 5.623 and 6.523 Though if thats a GSA or rolling average that will be up to the management committee to decide,1st heat will start about 2hrs late due to all the arguments. Seriously it should be a PL rider upto Kyle Newmans ave,or more likely a NL rider Edited July 13, 2013 by Triple.H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
