So, going by 1 of my previous posts, if we had a 3* rider he would of had to be replaced otherwise we could not sign Ellis.

If, also, we had started poorly or average & not increased our team average by 0.56 so the rules are ignored, too complicated or misinterpreted. Such a simple sport.

(Crumps average decreased for2021 compared to 2020, Cook's use of May average even though he rode in May & was due a new average from 1st June & signed in June, Redcar issue with postponed fixture but ruling not applied to previous years, and the list goes on ...........)

It’s to be tested whether an incumbent RS rider would need to be replaced in those circumstances. My personal opinion-  I don’t believe that would be enforced.

Just looked at the new averages for 1st July & Glasgow's stick out.

Initial declaration under 38 at 37.66 so allowed & using 3* rider.

New average now at 40.29 so if they had to replace a rider through injury, they would lose 2.29 to keep a 3*(Thomas) or 1.29 & replace with a 2*.

The initial declaration is the guide line. After this averages change & the line moves. Surely!

If it was just a one-rider change there would be no need to return below the points limit nor disturb the RS.

But we have made  a one rider change & our limits have changed (3* to 2*). That could hamper us on Sunday if Palin has problems on his return from Europe.

It could also have hampered us by using an illegal guest in Coles last night if the * rating was incorrect.

I take your point, there's clearly a number of scenarios that the rule simply doesn't cater for.

But it has been enforced as we re-declared over 38 but had to lose our team * rating.

Just read the Regulations v2 again & in 012.2 Team Composition

A Championship declaration must not exceed 38 point limit to include a 3* riders or 39 points with a 2* rider or below in any declaration following the issue of established MA’s for 2021, except where the MA of the introduced rider is equal or below the rider being replaced. 

Adam Ellis's CMA is an "Amended MA" by conversion factor 1.5. His established MA for the Championship will occur after 4H & 4A.

Read it another way - A CL declaration can exceed 38/39 points in any declaration before the issue of established MAs.’ 
 

As each team has a mixture of established and assessed MAs, I don’t understand what that rule as written is trying to say.

To get back to the match, who is the rising star tomorrow, and is Jorgensen riding?. Who replaces him if not?

A bit too early to answer any of those questions but one other scenario would be how will the track be prepared? Plenty of dirt similar to the Newcastle meeting or similar to last week with it being a similar start time, although no Stock cars night before & not hardly any amount of rain so a perfect track surface should be on show. Me, personally, prefer more dirt!

Let's hope there plenty of dirt but can't see it had a full program today with the dirt diggers there and tomorrow is the British youth 250 and 500cc classes after the meeting so can see it be wet to start with and dusty and slick by about heat 12 .

Ulrich Ostergaard in as guest for Jorgsensen would say that’s a good choice of guest for sure 

Seems Jorgensen`s shoulder injury may be a bit more of a problem than first thought as he is off to hospital for a check up.

Yes, definitely an issue that he has had before, struggled with it then later had an operation to fix it.
