Don't think they mentioned a 1 star either but if they want to discriminate between the two leagues and have stronger teams in the top league how else can they do it when everyone will be doubling up/down My preference would have been to build to 42 in the top league and 32 in the lower league then use this season for the averages to level out in each league and go from that point next year We will just have to see how this pans out and what Star Rating brackets apply to what riders. To be fair I'm not struck on the proposal but the promotions want to give it a go so fair play to them and I hope it works out for everyone and ultimately that they are all happy with the outcome...

They haven't IronS and its all total guess work until something official comes out... but it gives the fans something to discuss... So I have invented this and as I stated above with the following explanation... "Below 2.00/New assessed 2.00ers = 1 Star; and the only reason that I have went this low is because some of the young kids that have been suggested have never ridden in the Championship whatsoever so cant really be in the same bracket as a 2 Star rider who has a year under his belt; however I am only guessing but I cant see how it can operate any other way"... Happy to listen to any other views or edit things when the official story comes out Regards THJ Edited January 28, 2021 by TotallyHonestJohn missed out key word 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Read somewhere 1 star are ndl riders with little experience. So Palin, Thompson, Edwards etc are rated on good NDL form. CL experienced are 3 or 4 stars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enotian Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Why would there be a 1 star grade? I think you can only build a team of 38 plus 3 star or 39 plus 2 star Unless you can build 40 plus 1 star everyone not a 3 star or above is a 2 star. The numbers are irrelevant, they might as well have been A, B and C grades 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I have a Texaco Star Rewards card. Could they be convinced to sponsor the reserves? The reserves might have to be regraded as:- 1) Unleaded 2) Leaded 3) Supreme 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's a thing then if they are both used in the same team... one will be a one star rider and the other will have a 2 point average... Tell me that's not nuts...

The lowly scum general public gonna be allowed to see the lists of star ratings? Or are we gonna be kept in the dark by this exciting new rule... Kinda takes off the excitement if we are... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Thompson are both 1 * riders, where have you got that information from. Why do you have such information when the details of the riders in the system has not been made public? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evening Dave hope your well seen the list and you are correct. One or 2 slight anomalies for me but nothing you could argue with really and there one really young kid on list who has plenty of potential but not sure if he should be on it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Seems a lot of people have seen a secret list? So which Promoters have broken the code or which forum Members are telling porkies. Hopefully the latter otherwise the Chairman might need to investigate. Whoops 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they expand the scheme to cover both reserve berths in 2022 I guess we'll see Paul Hurry as a rising star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops It's not a secret riders and parents are being informed first , and no promoters have divulged the info it was sent directly from the scb at acu house. no lies been old so unfortunately there is no conspiracy and no investigation needed. Would suggest from your post you aren't a rider, parent of a rider or official of a club or the bspl so why would you need to know just yet 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
