That fits just under the 41 limit therefor swapping fricke for perks 😮😮

 

Will the admission reflect this

The total for the present team is 43.98 not 49. Clubs are presently losing money and if there is no TV cash it will be even worse, so it seems unlikely there will be any reduction in the admission charges next year if we want the club to survive. I'm more than happy to pay what they charge for the quality of racing we see at the NSS.

Last year they effectively dropped from 42 pts to 35iah for team building so Im not sure why you are saying they dropped quite a lot this year with a 1 point reduction? Which actually is needed if the league is expanding to 10-12 teams

MPT is 5.57.

Does anybody know if the brits still get a reduction in their first two years?

I think Dan got 2.5% knocked off last season.

umm, that takes it to 0.07 over, back to the drawing board it is then.lol

Are the green sheet averages shown on the bspa website, issue 35, the final for 2017 as they are dated 28.9.17 or are the final averages for 2017 listed elsewhere ?

As there were no matches after September 13th which counted towards the "green sheets"(only play-offs, KOC, relegation/promotion) I would say yes they are

Ok only they normally list the team and final league averages on the website.

I believe the 2017 Final Green sheets will be published after they have been 'signed off' at the AGM.

They would then be used as a basis for the 2018 season.

Thanks that may well be the case.

I thought that KOC scores were being included in averages after initially (and in the rules) being excluded?!

just the first round it seems - and only in the Prem

The averages have credibility by including only league matches because every team races the same number of matches against the same teams. Yes, there are problems because teams don't use the same riders in all of those meetings for various reasons but it is the best system available for making the averages meaningful.

 

To add KO Cup matches detracts from the credibility because obviously not all teams race each other, so it is no longer a level playing field. In reality, if only round one is included, it is not going to alter significantly any individual riders average unless he has only ridden a small number of meetings but why risk any distortion of the averages. It seems totally unnecessary.

Yes that was so clubs weren't wiating til end June (or even later in some cases) to complete their 4 home/4 away meetings to give riders new proper averages!!

They could and should then take them out again for the end of season averages.
