NeilWatson Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, NeilWatson said: They are - to differentiate between two riders with the same average to two decimal places. See below SR010.3 TEAM DECLARATIONS Teams must be declared prior to the start of the season. Changes must be made at least 3 days before the start time of the meeting at which it is intended to be used. In any declaration where 2 or more riders hold an identical MA (cannot be determined by a 3rd or more decimal point) then the re-declaration must nominate the hierarchical order. Where riders have a previous MA, then the higher placed rider from the previous issue shall retain the higher position. A rider in a teams declared 1-7 at the end of the previous season, not included in that teams new seasons initial declaration, may not be subsequently re-introduced into that team without the express permission of the Directors. 2 hours ago, King Jamie said: No they're not. See highlighted bit from your post You’re misunderstanding the (admittedly badly written) rule. If two riders have the same MA the BSPL office will check both averages to three or more decimal places to see if the equality can be “determined”, that is to see if one MA is fractionally higher than the other. If the two are truly identical then the rest of the rule comes into play. Edited July 29, 2022 by NeilWatson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he said that after the heat 1 crash, when 2 Edinburgh riders had withdrawn. His complaint wasn’t that we’d lost, because they hadn’t even completed a race yet.

That aside i thought he was great tonight though - a very classy rider on his night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 I have never heard of all 4 riders going down on the first bend before. Poor Sam, already carrying a bad injury as it is. Hopefully all back as soon as possible. So to win at Edinburgh you really need a thunderstorm after H12. They are always so good for last 3 heats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the stream it looked like Ulrich dived down the inside of Paco entering bend 3, Paco tried to shut the door but Ulrich was ahead. Then Paco chucked it. No doubt there was contact but that was down to Paco not wanting to concede the lead. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching from the pits looked like Paco left a big gap for ulrich to dive to the inside and he was just in front heading into bend 4 when Paco tried to come back over him but ulrich was caring too much speed into the corner and Paco really had to bail out racing incident 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco left no gap, I was at the 4 th bend. Ostrich carried too much speed , dived up the inside where there was no room and wiped him out. Reminded me of a similar Wolbert move on James Grieves at Ashfield in 2011 Scottish Cup which was equally dangerous, and James did not enjoy, or sad to say the Nick Morris move on the same corner that ended Tabakas career. All well and good trying to get your team a point, but not if you might hospitalise your opponent. ! 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Ulrich but far too aggressive last night firstly on Kye then Paco. Best wishes to Sam who was having surgery last night, Lasse and Cookie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmuncie Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 For me the heat 15 one was desperate rather than dangerous, Ulrich knew he needed to get to the front to get the Tigers a point, he also knew he had Josh up his tail so if he scrubbed his speed then he’d have been relegated to 3rd That being said the move was only ever gonna end one way and the video clearly shows him taking Paco’s leg. The heat 9 first and second bend with Kye was much worse and downright dirty. Ulrich knew exactly what he was doing and even looks over his shoulder mid corner so knows Kye is there. Ulrich is a rider who has a repetition as going over the line at times when the pressure is on and sadly that was the case again tonight definitely in the first incident maybe in the second 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to my wife at the time that I thought Ulrich was a bit naughty there , Thomson did well to stay upright . Shame the atmosphere turned toxic after the heat 15 incident and I hope all the wounded warriors from heat 1 are back racing soon . 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
