The last instance I can find of this happening is at Birmingham in 2019. James Shanes finished 2018 on a 5.09 ave, with British reduction starts 2019 on a 4.96 ave. He rides at reserve with Tobias Thomsen on a 5.00 ave starting in the team! Unless the rules have changed since then? On 2/20/2023 at 10:27 PM, Falcon1983 said: The basic 2.5% reduction would see a rider at reserve or in the main body based on what the average is after the 2.5% has been applied This is a rising star reduction though of 25% so its purely aimed at encouraging clubs to use those no longer eligible for the rising star scheme to get opportunities so they have a saving on the average to use in team building but the original average if higher than the reserves is used for riding order So both completely different scenarios for british reductions Madness On 2/21/2023 at 12:56 AM, szkocjasid said: The comments I read suggested as well as Brennan (4.40) being in the team & Lidsey (5.16) at reserve, we'd also see King (8.05) at number one for Redcar not Riss (8.24)? So I assumed the British reduction rules were the same & couldn't think of a previous time team building averages weren't used for riding order! Well since some STRONGLY disagreed with my theory that Brennan & Hume (irrelevant when Rew's average was set at 5.00) would start at reserve & seeing Brennan has been announced at number 6 tonight, I'd just like to say "I told you so" Edited March 23, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the 2023 Regs, it is not at all clear ... sigh. Absolutely stupid, because unless they continue to discount Brennan's average, it will increase on the first new set of Green Sheets - maybe BV have got the lawyers on it ...

The way it looks Lidsey will drop to reserve on Apr 1st, as Brennan would be be on his rolling ave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Understandable first heat nerves probably after his first competitive heat for 18 months, but then quickly back on it and finishing second after beating Zmarzlik in a run off.

Perfect - should give him good form when they decide to get rid of super heats in the event of a draw and flip a coin instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Does anyone know why Emil only had two rides for Torun last night (28/3/23) ? I hope he wasn't injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
