NL riders who don't have a PL average like Tom Bacon will come in as a 2

there are posts on other threads with tweets from sgb stating newcomers will be on a 3 - only those who have already ridden but not achieved a 3 can come in on less with min 2 eg Bailey Greaves Zach W

No they won't, newcomers come in on a three, those who have already rode PL and not reached a three will come in on a two. Seems odd to me but that's the way it is.

The wording is :

"'Championship clubs must include include a young Brit with a 3-point average. In a bid to help young riders get a team spot any rider who hasn't achieved a 3-point average will come in on a minimum of 2'."

 

As the likes of Smith & Bacon have not achieved a 3 pt ave by not being part of a declared Championship club, then they should come in on 2.

 

IMO the ambiguity is for the likes of existing Championship riders who never attained an actual 3 pt average based on results, such as Danny Phillips, Nathan Greaves, etc. However they appear on the Green Sheets as 3.00. Say their actual average was 2.82, do they come in on, 2, 3, or 2.82?

 

Likewise what is the definition of a "young Brit" - is it under 19, under 21, under 25, under 30, etc., and also is it someone born in the UK, or of British parentage, or a naturalized UK citizen?

Good points ( I can't believe I'vre just said that) presumably these will be clarified in the new regs. If they put all the detail in the press release it would be 30 pages long :wink:

Another wee suggest for a team, based on yesterday's news and while we all try to get around the proposed regulations:-

Lawson 8.17

Bewley 3.9 (with reduction?)

Holder 7.16

Vissing 6.76

Summers 8.13

Sissis 3.79

Smith 2

Total - 39.91
