Yes, it was discussed but I think going on my memory which is never a good thing!, that he didn't do enough meetings for that to count, so would be a 4. 

He did 7 meetings 

 

BUT 

They were in div 1, which probably shouldn't count.

 He averaged 4.8 (for comparison Bastian Borke averaged 6.2 and Jonas Knudsen 8.3 - but both also rode in DSL unlike Tate).

BSPL site shows him to have had five meetings, though only four for the Tigers. Not sure how this is arrived at. His average is shown as 3.62 being 19 points from 21 rides, so 6 from one meeting and 4 in the rest would take him to a 4.00 figure, assuming four rides in each. 

I'm guessing they aren't counting Plymouth Vs Redcar. 

I had 23 out of 26.

Again this only matters if they intend on replacing him.

"No rider with a current or previously assessed MA, other than a rider who has never achieved an MA in a professional league, can drop below 4.00 at any time during the season."

 

Can someone confirm this for me? 

If so I'm confused why Roynons on a 3.8something.

Since when was Roynon assessed? He started the season on a 3.47/3.48 ish.

Surprised its as high as 3.8! I think you will find Roynons average isnt assessed

It's refering to foreign riders on assessed averages not being able to drop below 4.00.

The second part confuses me though, what does that mean? Surely nearly every new commonwealth rider hasn't achieved an MA in a professional league?

Is the rule then targeted at European riders who have raced in Sweden, Denmark or Poland rather than Commonwealth riders?

Although obviously more Aussies are starting out in Poland or Denmark these days as it's easier to race there than meet UK visa requirements.

What I don't understand is that riders like Jacob Hook or James Pearson who I'm sure never rode in Denmark or Poland before the UK can't drop below 4.00, but they seem to qualify under the "rider who has never achieved an MA in a professional league" part of the ruling?

Morning Lisa, it was a late night read through and posted before bed but I think I'm getting what it means now.

"No rider with a current or previously assessed MA, other than a rider who has never achieved an MA in a professional league, can drop below 4.00 at any time during the season."

I was thinking about Lee and wether he would potentially drop below 4 on July 28th. As last year he was on an assessed average, but due to Newcastle closing he didn't obtain a CMA as he didn't get enough meetings. Now he's started this season with an assessed average again. So I'm not sure how it works.

Lee Complin dropped below 4.00 last year, but those Newcastle meetings were removed, putting him back at 4.00 again.

So can he drop below 4 at the end of this month? on the Declarations it says "assessed" next to his name, which is why I went looking in the rulebook.

To jaizer its not arrogance about team building at all so calm down wi the bull directed at me it was an opinion it's a forum so it's allowed ok , monarchs won league because they had acgiod team & a big home track advantage simple ...Glasgow not so much with ashfield track which most riders can race on armadale is way harder to ride ...is that opinion allowed by you
