szkocjasid Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 12 hours ago, Daniel Smith said: Simply because it's his average. The advantage to Brennan & Belle Vue is already given with ¼ off his average. Without that advantage Belle Vue wouldn't have been able to put that team together or Brennan would have missed out completely. With that reduction, starting at reserve is also a 2nd advantage with a rider that is clearly at 2nd string level comfortably. What about a team that has a 2 or 3 point foreigner in the team on a 4.00 average, but has a stronger Brit on a 3.75 average at reserve? Is that not much the same? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not much the same? It’s their fault for wanting a 2 or 3 point non-Brit on a 4. I can’t see how the 25% reduction can be used as a genuine MA. Hopefully, the BSPA will clarify the situation … without careful rewording of the Regs, they’re in danger of creating yet more ambiguity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not much the same? The rule for this is very different. Foreign rider's can never dip below 4.00 at all times. The 2.5% & 25% is / should be for team building only & rolling averages determining team position. I don't think it's a complicated system 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as they ride 1 match there average will be their rolling average counting 2022 & 2023 matches. From your example it would be number 2 (I've heard nothing official to say it's back to 20 match rolling aves in 2023) That’s about as official as you can get 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Puts to bed any more thoughts of going for a 4 pointer or Heeps or anyone else really. Good to have some clarity.

Danyon Hume is basically the only option, and he only fits due to the 25% reduction he gets on his GSA due to being a rising star last year but not this. His actual average is 4.09. Think he would have got the last team spot anyway so Rew being assessed at 5.00 instead of 4.00 probably makes little difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
