2ndbendbeerhut Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 So any rider under 5.50 is a rising star then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 So I could take up racing and be a rising star at my age 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 riders have to be U24 as of 1st January and have less than 3 years "pro" league experience which is why there are riders who are rated 1* who have no average in the PL or CL apparantly the age limit of 24 allows for cross-overs from other disciplines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Carl Fogarty be a rising star then? Would be a great bit of media exposure to get him to sign up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I have a feeling they asked each club who they would like to use, then made up some random rule to make that viable 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Is it? Looks decidedly average to me, but out of the 6 could be good enough for top 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I may have read the SpeedwayGB website incorrectly so they are either 24 or have less than 3 years racing in the Championship & Premiership so not sure how old Bates is, if Bacon is 28 he's given grace for not having ridden in the top two leagues for 3 seasons? The rising star criteria can also be explained in full.Rising Stars riders are 24 as of the 1st January of the current year or have less than three years professional league experience to also allow other motorbike sport crossovers ie: motocross, grasstrack etc, have an average under a Premiership League CMA (Calculated Match Average) of 5.50, or under a Championship League CMA of 6.50.Riders whose average is above a Premiership League CMA of 3.00 and a Championship League CMA of 3.50 are classified as a 4-star rider.Riders whose average is below a Championship League CMA of 3.50 and above 3.00 are classified as 3-star rider.Riders whose average is assessed or has a minimum Championship League CMA of 2.00 and below 3.00 are classified as a 2-star rider.Riders who have not competed in any professional league are classified as a 1-star rider.
