RedcarRacer Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 As said sure more likely to affect one of the top three! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Todd Kurtz signed for Newport in 2010 on a 3.00 average, one of his grandparents was Scottish. He had every right to. In the 2011/2012 winter he took part in the Aussie champs and lost his right for his 2.5 deduction. Newport threatened to close because of this but we all know that was just a smoke screen. What would happen though if a young, 100% Brit went and raced in the Danish super league before deciding to ride here? Would his average be 3.00 or more? When was Brady 16? Maybe he raced in Denmark as a 15 year old, which they allow, and the BSPA rules dont state what a rider under the age of 16 can/cant comepete in. All confusing but theres bound to be an explination.... I dont think him racing in Aussie under 21 titles means anything as Todd Kurtz done that and still got his reduction, it was the senior title that lost him his redudction. Mark Blackwell did as you suggest, rode in the Danish League in the late 90s and when he wanted to ride PL was told it would have to be as an 8 point rider as the rules say. I don't see why it would be any different now. The rules says, GP rider or SWC final = EL 8. Rode in a pro-league then it's PL 7. Rode NL then it's a 3, otherwise it's 5. I agree. In the case of Henning I think he eventually got a 5 which was still a bit high for him. Henning only rode 2 meetings as a reserve, to see how he did and then he came over to the UK. If Brady has done 12 + 2 meetings in Danish leagues, he should get a higher average. Henning was a 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 No mention of either Kurtz brothers in the Aussie Championship field for 2014. But both rode in the Australian U-21 Championship Final in Kurri Kurri on 19th January, 2013. This is a National Championship restricted to Australian nationals aged under 21, btw 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) I'm not comfortable with this 'Poole of the PL' tag we seem to have acquired. Let's take Brady on a 5, swap Allen for a six-pointer (Jorgensen?) and silence these 'cheats don't prosper' merchants. We'll still be right up there again next year, whether Brady's on a 3, a 5 or even a 7! Edited December 11, 2013 by Barney Rebel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 IF, that is the case, I for once agree with you. Your taking a big chance on Allen. But lets just wait and see what happens.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Should be thankful he's a 5 and not a 7 as the rules say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedcarRacer Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 If Brady does get a five, the most obvious thing to do is drop Allen with one of the reserves, leaving yourself with 11 or 12 points for two riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Henning was a 7 No he wasn't - he signed for Somerset in place of Tom Hedley on a 5.00. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect - as if that is the case, you would need to then -2 from that figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Has anyone actually got confirmation that he isn't a 3? I wouldn't believe it until I saw proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexterBeauregarde Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Sounds like lots of what if's, we need to hear an official line from the Bspa or Somerset, all worrying for Rebels fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a National Championship restricted to Australian nationals aged under 21, btw That is not correct Josh Auty rode in 2010, it's up to MA who they select in the meeting, it's not a closed meeting ,neither is the senior title.

SCB Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 The Aussie titles are a red herring, he rode in the Danish League. Thats a professional league, that makes him a 7. Also, he didn't ride in the NL so she can't be a 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 So as usual drop the brit for a foreigner, watch out charlie and paul Behave yourself! Drop the injury-prone, potentially weakest link in the side that will allow you to sign a straight replacement without having to re-jig the whole team! He just happens to be British in this instance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he didn't ride in the NL so she can't be a 3. Quite agree that this issue is about the riding in a senior professional League in Denmark. The OZ titles bit is mainly an expectation thing, and usually to give an indication as to what he thinks he is, an OZ or a Brit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
