If those GSAs are accurate then in Poole's case how was Basso on the Gasso (5.00) at reserve and Hume (4.98) in the 1-5?

Look like the same averages as we already have i.e. still contain the Eastbourne numbers

I presume at the time they switched positions Hume was higher but by the end of the season Basso on the Gasso was scoring better at reserve. Ben would've been able to retain his reserve spot for a certain number of meetings no matter how he scored, just so happened it covered him until the end of the season. Hence the difference.

Or somet like that? :D

As far as I know the riders retained the points they scored against Eastbourne therefore the average is not effected.

Stewart Dickson wasn't happy about it coz he said so in an interview on the centrgreen at Leicester when Leicester had been stripped of 7pts but the riders avg. stayed the same.

Think it stopped him from switching his team around.

To me it kind makes sense that riders still retain the pts & avg despite Eastbourne pulling out as it shows an accurate record of how the riders have been riding throughout the season. They've still ridden and been paid (hopefully) in those meetings.

I get Dickson's point, but some of his riders who rode against Eastbourne have joined other teams - some averages would've gone up / some down - for all teams, doesn't just affect Leicester.

True, but I mentioned Dickson's interview to clarify to others on the forum who thought that riders' pts scored against Eastbourne wud be taken off their average.

As you say does it not more a less even out if the Eastbourne results are left in with rolling averages, some going up or down, team changes etc. I just think the worst problem is no absolute clarification, if it was announced a month ago they're definitely left in (or out) everyone would know, although gives another topic to discuss I suppose.

So are you saying that all the GSAs in this week's Star have had the 2.5% reduction for Brits taken into account?  I don't think so?!

I was confused by that, Hume must have a higher ave than Basso, if he doesn't 2.5% reduction must've been used - but not for any other Brits on this list! What's going on?

Of course it's possible to do this, wouldn't call it simple though. But if fans can work out the averages, what's the benefit of not publishing them?

I've also not read anything official that states if the Eastbourne matches are removed for final averages.

The rule book is pretty official
