I have no doubt, though, that the NDL was fine without them. I think as a general principle the fewer differences between the leagues the better. It makes for a simpler easier to understand rulebook. As there us no compelling reason for making these different in the NL I think they should be harmonised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst harmonising has its merits, it is certainly not a simple rulebook. Why not ditch the IRR, if a rider gets injured then the rides are covered by reserves. If a team is already running RR then they must have a number 8 on standby. That is easy to explain rules "that average guy got injured so they can only replace him with the reserves" rather than "that average guy got injured so now the best 3 riders can all take a ride each and completely swing the match". If a rider has to withdraw does a mandatory X day lay off still apply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Have you read the IRR Rule? It states if a rider is injured then any rider under his average can take an additional ride. It is not the best 3 riders all take a ride each. It is much fairer if a no1 gets injured than having reserves take rides. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tries to match the teams, instead of a team using reserves and makes the races a mockery and a good meeting is spoiled. In saying that, most tactical rules should only apply to the top 2 divisions, and let the NL to use reserves.
