12 was what other clubs were told when they enquired about his services 

I am guessing there has been a rule change as his average should be higher, making him ineligible for the championship. Anyone with an average higher than 12 must come in on a 12point average, making the Championship open to anyone.

How's that Neil?

If he's an 8 in the top league times that by 1.5 and it makes him a 12 in this one... nowt wrong with that surely...

If he does come in on a 12, a wonder who will be the first rider to put a dint in it,,, unless he does it himself by taking a bonus point behind his partner?

If he’s an 8 I agree, if he’s 8.2 with a 1.6 conversion.... Maybe we’ll get the averages and rules soon :-)

Last year the conversion was Prem average = 60% of Champ average

So if crump's Prem average is 8............   8 /0.6 = 13.33 = Champ average

I have been advised that the 1.5 conversion rate has not changed this season as was proposed at the 2019 BSPL meeting which stated they were going to put the conversion rate up by 0.1 each year until it go to 2.0... so last year 1.6 and this year 1.7 but that idea has apparently fallen by the way-side...

However it will be interesting to see if anyone in the Championship tries to pick up Troy Batch who has said he would like to race in both leagues as he is on an 8.82 and he converts out to a Championship busting average of 13.23

A remember reading that and, the first thing to spring to my mind was,,, a really do wonder if the riders are aware of the rules regarding averages? ;)

The conversion in that case would be 8 * 1.6 = 12.8, (or 8 / 1.6 = 5 CL to PL), however that may be a moot point given THJ’s post above.

8 is not 60% of 12.8.

Because its not a percentage of the/a number/average its a multiplier or divisor so 1.5 x (Times by) 8 = 12 and likewise 12/(Divided by)1.5 = 8

Times the Premiership number/average by 1.5 to obtain a Championship average...

Divide the Championship number/average by 1.5 to achieve the desired result of a Premiership average...

So in theory the highest convertible average from the Premiership to the Championship is 8.00... any rider above this cant (again in theory) double down... unless he gets his average to 8.00 or lower...

Correct, my point is that the conversion factor is 1.6, not 60% as you stated.

CL average multiplied by 1.6 to get PL average, PL average divided by 1.6 to get CL average (or whatever the factor is, maybe 1.5)

A think you might be getting confused Neil?

Surely its, CL average divided by 1.? to get PL average and, PL average multiplied by 1.? to get CL average? ;)

There will probably be an announcement that for Team Building purposes (and to assist Plymouth in tracking a reasonable team) the maximum Championship rider average will be 12.00

The actual (converted) average will probably be used in the rolling averages calculation once enough fixtures have been completed.

Where theres a will theres a way!!!!!

That's a reasonable proposal.
