So has Lawson jumped ship then or not? Is Garry May still going to be at Plymouth next season? If Kennett is number 1, can Plymouth seriously be better than the bottom 3 again?

I find it unbelievable that neither promotion has said anything.

Kennett no1? If that's the case maybe Plymouth are having strength in depth?

Well Poole aren't announcing any signings til Dec apparently. So that leaves Plymouth. Maybe they will say something when they have a replacement? If the Polish press was correct of course. They always seem to be though!

What are Gary May's team plans now that Richard Lawson has jumped ship & Eddie Kennett's average was mis calculated (so we are told).

Next signing might be Mark Phillip's "nephew".

With all the riders averages changing due to Eastbourne's demise, I would think all of the Eastbourne riders would be the same so Kennett & Newman would fall back to their 2019 average.

Think there is an issue with taking out the Eastbourne meetings. 

Seems to be taking forever to sort out only raced 11 meetings

It seems to me that there are two, not necessarily linked, issues with regard to the Eastbourne fixtures.

1. The Eastbourne match results are logically removed from the league tables, no argument.

2. The points scored by riders in the Eastbourne fixtures should, in my opinion, stand for the purposes of calculating averages. Those rides were seriously contested at that time and represent the ability of those riders at that moment. Therefore they should contribute to averages going forward. For sure, it would make the calculation of all riders averages a damn sight simpler.

I was going to say I tend to agree as it's not like riders weren't paid for it... But then that wouldn't be strictly true either

I agree there is no reason to remove the Eastbourne matches from the rolling averages! Those matches were raced under the same rules as every other league match, apart from being unfair on Kennett upping his ave, it's also a lot simpler to just leave them in!

Last season's final averages are on the BSPAs site. Are these not the ones to be used to start next season?

Those aren't the final averages, ignoring the Eastbourne situation, after the "October" averages are published the "Final" averages should be published!

As Eastbourne wirhdrew from the league then any rider who rode against or for them should have his average adjustef accordingly, otherwise Eastbourne should still appear in the league table. You cannot expunge the team record without also expunging any points from riders who rode either for or against them from them.
