Sings4Speedway Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Question (and i know there are always many of these once the Regs are released) 21.3.2 c) have not completed more than 2 full seasons in the NDL What is classed as a "full" season? Is the definition of "more than" measured in seasons or matches? e.g rider completes 2 "full" seasons plus 3 additional matches. As ever the regs are patchy and left wide open to abuse. It used to be 50 NL matches which was a much clearer definition of when riders are no longer eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway fan Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 It is as it reads ...if a rider has had two FULL seasons in the NL then he / she is not eligible . So named in a NL side and ridden for 2 seasons in that league then they cannot be used in the M+SDL . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats where it gets a bit flakey but its how i read it (i think) so Jamie Cousins who has had 2 full seasons in the NL is currently eligible but if he gets a team place he won't be? Adam Shepard can do this year but if he holds down his place at Plymouth all year he won't be eligible next year? Surely the old rule of 50 meetings regardless of seasons made more sense?

Even in a relatively simple league with simple rules nobody can write down anything concrete. Its always just flakey stuff that gets abused and exploited.
