A bit of a contradiction in the Averages rule, in that although they will be Rolling Averages (eventually), 2017 stats are not included. Updated averages will be achieved once a rider has completed 4H & 4A.

I have no idea of the reasoning behind not using 2017 stats.

Last year it was 2h 2a as per Max Clegg. 

Not seen any amendment.

Section 16 says 'assessed' riders need 4H & 4A. No mention of existing riders.

See the BSPA have shown some sense at last. The starting rules have reverted to last season & riders can get off their bike to do their gardening. There was no sense in the rule as they still had to be under power & under the control of the start marshal within the 2 min's anyway.

Does anyone know why MPT’s rolling average doesn’t include his meetings from last year?

If it had his average would be 5.51 thus altering his place in the line up. Also this makes his guest replacement of Summers (5.44) at Poole illegal. 

It really screws up other meetings as well so I’m not sure if they will alter the score, run them again or just brush it under the carpet as seems likely. 

I’ve emailed the BSPA about rider averages (there are a lot of anomalies) but they just ignore me. 

Any explanation would be appreciated.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv is your man to ask.

Neil Watson is best for this one!

To know which meetings are included you need the full spreadsheet to ensure you drop the correct meetings as new ones are added

Whilst I like to think I have a decent grasp of the principles I dont have that info

This one maybe about timing of signing

Those that dudnt DU from the start had the average from the other league converted rather than use 2017 

Only after a full month and a revision for the league rejoined will the 2017 meetings be added

Eg in Champ Greaves 2017 CL 4.57 but joined Redcar on 3.89 converted PL from 2018. From July 1st his CL average will then include hus 2017 meetings!

Would that fit for MPT - when did he sign?

Declared in the Leicester team 02/04/18 on last years 5.57 average. 

He kept this average when joining Lynn 30/04/18 but then it dropped to 5.23 13/06/18 as it only used his 3 (yes 3) meetings from this year. 

 

I would guess MPT signed on his 2017 ave (5.57) on 2nd of April because no Prem riders have new aves! What they are doing now, when they should be combining his 2017 & 2018 aves for a rolling ave, i've no idea!
