Ftr Reserves


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Presumably this year's Tier 1 riders will not be eligible as fast track reserves next year & their PL averages will be used for EL team-building?

 

Blackbird, Newman & Garrity look good enough already to be in the 1-5 & to replace some continental journeymen but the others may just slip back into the PL.

Have been interested to see the impact of the Elite Draft Riders, with some suggesting they have too much impact on match results

Taking EL matches only, and excluding double point tactical scores, the figures so far (e&oe) are as follows:

 

(no. of meetings; match score; EDR score; 1-5 score)

+/- +/- +/-

 

Coventry h 4 28 20 8

a 7 31 23 8

11 59 43 16

 

Poole h 4 26 11 15

a 4 9 10 -1

8 35 21 14

 

Kings Lynn h 5 70 1 69

a 5 -20 2 -22

10 50 3 47

 

Wolverhampton h 5 38 7 31

a 5 -55 -6 -49

10 -17 1 -18

 

Belle Vue h 4 14 -3 17

a 6 -40 3 -43

10 -26 0 -26

 

Leicester h 5 -12 -6 -6

a 2 -38 1 -39

7 -50 -5 -45

 

Swindon h 5 30 -3 33

a 3 -52 -17 -35

8 -22 -20 -2

 

Lakeside h 6 61 -21 82

a 6 -90 -22 -68

12 -29 -43 14

 

It highlights those teams with the strongest 6 and 7s, and also gives an insight into the performances of the top fives

Wonderful work! Your effort is appreciated.

 

Nice to see how the top two teams from last season still managed somehow to get the best performing reserves again this season.

 

Everyone knew the seeding system was a joke, this kind of proves it for me.

Cheers for that, Rob Branford should also be on it he asked to be included a month ago.

 

Junior

 

Rob is No 9 in Tier 2.

 

The correct terminology is EDR (Elite Draft Rider)

 

Edit: The EL Green Sheets are now at Issue 8 rather than the Issue 2 referred to.

Cheers! It also shows how under-performing at home the Bees top five is! Edited by Midland Red

Im probably being a right numpty but how do Coventry for example have a home score of 28? I get you then split it as top 5 8 and reserves 20 but how is this done? How have some teams got negative figures?

After 11 matches Coventry have a race point difference of 59

 

That is comprised of +28 at home and +31 away.

 

Of that +28 at home 20 is due to the EDR riders out scoring their opposite numbers and just 8 to the top 5 out scoring the visitors top 5.

 

So King's Lynn have the best performing top 5, Leicester the worst. Lakeside are being hammered at resrve while the Bees pair are buzzing :)

There was talk from the BSPA AGM that 2016 teams would have to track at least one Brit as a second string.

 

Riders such as Newman and Garrity wanted that to happen this season, but the Authorities thought it too soon.

If the idea of this is to improve our young Brits then that makes sense., Also allows for a new draft of riders to come in. hey presto 3 Brits in the team at least.

Sounds like a good idea. The natural route for Garrity, Newman, Kerr, Auty is to move up to a second string position in their respective teams next year.

 

Putting a rule in place to insist upon a British second string at each club would be the best way of protecting one of these riders from being left out on their ear once they move out of the draft, although I can only think of one club where there would be a threat of that happening!

Depending on the points limit, you might find 1 or 2 EL clubs want two of them - to stop other teams having them and leaving them with poorer riders.

 

Maybe a compromise should have been a return to the old format. the better fast track riders having to ride at 6 leaving the lower reserve to ride at 7 meaning riding against a reserve in all 4 heats so some protection.

It must be me and I've only looked at Belle Vue but their overall points difference after 10 matches is -15 not -26.

Lakeside h 6 61 -21 82

12 -29 -43 14

 

It doesn't alter the EDR figures

It's 1 different from your figures as I exclude the double-points, as explained so Leicester at home is taken as 55-35, Coventry at home 39-51, Kings Lynn away as 40-50

Apologies, once again, for the error (I did say e&oe!)
