Apart from TV I haven't seen Master ride 'live' at Ipswich, so this has passed me by. He's up against Doyle so it is a toughie, 12 would be a good return.

As ever he was excellent,  but thankfully he was beaten by both batch and Jason in heat 15 to give us the win.

The Regs don't say anything about making changes before 0% of League matches ...

What the speedway regulations don’t say is irrelevant.

 The regulations says

A Premiership Transfer Window opens after 25% of the League fixtures are complete and closes when 75% of League fixtures are complete. This permits changes to the team on 2 occasions, except for proven long term injury.

Now considering no Premiership team is likely to complete 25% of its league fixtures until early June it’s clear both changes do not comply with the above rule.

League fixtures. Doesn't say anything about the regional starter competition, and the BSPA/L must have decided the window only applied to League racing. The League hadn't started when the changes were made.

I think most people have agreed it's 25% of League fixtures, i.e. when 15 have been completed - which (assuming no postponements) is currently on Thursday, 2 June ... so 2 changes can be made after that, initially using the June Green Sheets.

I guess that if a team makes a change to replace three riders, you'll say that's more than two B)

This is why there are so many supplementry regs,because everyone(promotors)always try to twist the original reg that they have to supplement the original so that certain twist can't happen again.Expect another supplement on this rule for 2023.

The last line is just another example of how poorly written the regulations are

Is it just 2 changes or as many changes as you wish on no more than 2 occasions?

And do the changes already 7made by Belle Vue and Ipswich count as part of this?

Ambiguity however I think is deliberate as it allows flexibility "in the best interests"
