Visa,does this effect Doolan.?

 

Under the criteria riders must have a Premier League average of over 7.00, or finished fourth or better in their state championship. Doolan has neither, it must be hoped that Doolan qualifies either with British parentage and/or for the years he has been resident over here, which I`m not sure comes into the criteria.

I was thinking that the Rolling averages might not count in these circumstances as they could be over more than I season for certain riders(injuries ect).Then Doolan and Ryan Douglas would be Ok.Only my thoughts though.for instance Douglas has a7.15 average including bonus points last season but under 7 on Green sheet which does not include bonus points.

Kevin Doolan has no need for a Visa

Douglas average 6.84 last season so still didn't get 7 while Doolan got 6.89 last season, again, still didnt get 7.

 

So even not using rolling averages doesn't work for them. Not using rolling averages pushes Sedgemen from 6.99 to 7.05

If you look at the Scunthorpe Review in last weeks Speedway Star you will see that Ryan Douglas had an average of 7.13 from 34 matches last season that probably includes Bonus Points which is what I was alluding too.That is the statistics I was using.

On the BSPA site Ryan Douglas has an average of 6-73, so unless they use bonus points he wont get in via average, hopefully for him he did the necessary if his states national Final.

Try reading my Post correctly before giving an answer,Technically IMO Ryan Douglas could have an average of 7.13 if SS is correct.That is all I am saying.Who is to say that is not the figure that counts.Bonus Points is what my theory is based on. Edited by Fromafar

It would be ridiculous in the extreme, even for the BSPA, to agree with UKVI the use of averages with BP when they aren't included in the official GSAs. As Najjer points out, it's academic in Douglas' case anyway as he was 4th in Queensland.

I would assume that as its the rolling averages that are used for team building its the rolling averages that will count for visa requirements - does anyone know?

Wouldn't disagree,but technically Douglas was averaging more than 7pts a meeting .He might have grievance as he was scoring more than 7.Like Najjer points out is irrelevant .Doesn't do much for Team spirit in coming seasons if they stick to these sort of rules regarding Bonus points IMO .Do clubs pay these bonus points?if so that is another anomaly regarding this matter.
