Lakeside 2018


Recommended Posts

I assume the line-up must be right as it has been announced on the BSPA website.

That section is just for rider announcements made by the clubs.

 

There is a line in the text that states all teams are subject to BSPA ratification.

 

You would however hope that the correct averages/conversion rate are known by promoters - but its not a given.....

He 'acheived' a two point average for Somerset in 2016 though did he not?

It was previously possible for a 2nd tier rider to 'dip their toe' in the top league in the knowledge that they could re enter tier 2 after 1 season out on the previously achieved average rather than a conversion if it didnt work out rather than be saddled with an unattractive conversion.

 

However ZW is not dropping back down - he is doubling up - so it isnt that it hasnt worked out.

 

Also with the reset of averages in 2017 that realligned makes the situation less relevant going forward.

Zach on a 2.00 average, lovely stuff.

Even using his 2016 figure he was above 2

I have took these figures from the final averages sheets from the 3 leagues

 

Morris.................................................................8.72 CL

Lawson...............................................................8.65 CL

Newman..............................................................6.10 CL

Clegg...................................................................4.15 CL

Ellis...........................5.56 PL x 1.3 conversion = 7.23 CL

Wajtknecht................3.21 PL x 1.3 conversion = 4.17 CL

Morley.........................9.49 NL only so new rider 2.00 CL

 

That is my take on it & it is well under on 41.02 even without the reductions for British riders having ridden in the NL for 3 years.

With 1.5 points to play with, there must be some discrepancies there.

Morley isnt fresh to the upper leagues.

 

He has previous average from both divisions outside the NL and a 2017 Premiership figure of 3.29

Last two, I think.

Wajtknecht 3.00, Morley 3.85?

So if we are being honest nobody really knows for sure do they? ;)

Absolutely right!!

 

Because the regs and conversion rate for 2018 havent been confirmed anywhere officially.

 

I would hope your promotion have the right info but then they tried to sign Scott and Kennett and didnt know they couldnt so.....

I think they was both in the team Cook wanted before the agm when he said about having all British line up. I would guess they knew after the agm like everyone else so we got Morris, its worked out better for us anyway but I do hope the rule is changed for them both to get a ride in the championship.

If my understanding is correct (Which it probably isn't) Lakeside's team doesn't fit???

 

1. Nick Morris 8.72

2. Max Clegg 4.15

3. Adam Ellis 7.23 (Converted PL to CL average)

4. Kyle Newman 6.10

5. Richard Lawson 8.65

6. Ben Morley 3.85

7. Zach Wajtknecht 4.07 (Converted PL to CL average - 2.5% reduction, this is how Shane's average for Sheffield has been worked out)

Total: 42.77

 

Someone tell me where I've gone wrong, because I'm sure it's me that's wrong and not the Lakeside promotion

Ritchie Hawkins was asked via Twitter to confirm the conversion multiplier....

 

1.3

 

So Zach W should be 4.07 and Morley 4.17 (assuming 2.5% Brit reductions)
