No different to most other teams this year stretching the rules

Most other teams? Most teams have been built legit and a couple quite under the limit. Leicester have penalised themselves by taking on a 3.00 rider on nearly a 5. Mildy have stretched it with the use of Congreve its only the academy who have pushed the bar a long way.

I will bring this up again but how can Roynon join on a 6.00 average? He rode in 4 official meetings for Plymouth last season and gained an average of 8.67! https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2022-rider-statistics/ Or by some absurdity if they are ignoring that, then he didn’t officially ride NL last season so his average should be his Championship average doubled. That is now 3.56 * 2 = 7.12. Not 6.00 which he joined the NL on midway through last season. 

From what I believe when enquired about Roynon they were told he’d be on his 6.00 assessed as was given for Plymouth. As he hadn’t done enough to get a proper average he stays on his assessed one given. Academy just following what the BSPA have decided.

Not really he should never have been given a 6 assessed he's usually been a no1 in nl, but it's what he's on Not Edinburghs fault

1. The 6.00 wasn’t assessed, it was his Championship average doubled which is how you equate an average when a rider is dropping down. 
2. He did do enough meetings last season! He did 4 meetings which is all that is needed to get a new average. 
3. Like I said previously, if for some reason they’re ignoring last season, then he should drop down on his current Championship average doubled.

The big joke is the ignoring of the forth meeting,  boughan didnt get that luxury and saw his average nearly double which must have had an impact on his bargaining power and hurts Leicesters team building capabilities

Exactly and there must be consistency within the application of the rules, to uphold the integrity of the sport.

And the 4 meeting rule blocked my rider from competing at the end of the year. Constantly told soon as a wheel is turned in the 4th meeting an average for the following season would be applied

Roynon shouldn't really be in this league should he, but he'll earn a stack of cash, double his average and lap most of the riders.... 

Based on what? Good experienced rider who will help progress the younger guys in the team. What every team needs. Double his average and lap most of the riders. We are talking about Adam roynon here and not Tai Woffinden.

Personally think it's good to have British riders like Adam in the league sets the bar for the younger ones to reach. Not sure it's the correct average he's been given but I'm sure someone can get the exact reason why it's a 6

Does it really matter at least he's got a ride in the championship & NDL as a few will miss out & I for 1 would love to see him in a diamonds race bib this season but sadly that's never going to happen in the foreseeable is it 

No issue with him in nl its the 6 average when he should b 8+

Thats a bit optimistic, i don't recall any riders being lapped last year (unless for fall/mistake) and thats counting top number 1's out with rookie reserves. From what i saw of Adam he isn't a top number 1 and i don't think he will put much more than a point or so on his average (still useful enough) but if you compare to other middle order riders on similar/higher averages Hagon, Woolley, Spooner etc he looks a good deal better.

He’s eligible for this league so it’s fine him being in it. He’s a high quality rider and he has a high average that reflects that, but that must be used. Not a middle order average. 
The issue is he should’ve been competing for a team place against the likes of Jenkins, Edwards, Bickley, the Thompsons, Stoneman, Shanes etc and not against Spooner, Perry, Hagon, Scott, Trigger, Kingston, Warren etc.

Roynon’s 2023 average is 6.00 because his NDL MA, per the final issue of 2022 averages, was 6.00. Final averages would have been agreed by all teams at the NDL AGM. That part seems fairly straightforward to me.

 

The reason his final 2022 average was 6.00 is where there could be some confusion. From memory, it was decided last season that the Plymouth vs Armadale match would not count towards the averages due to it being a meaningless match so late in the season and therefore potentially open to manipulation (again, from recollection I believe the same thing happened with Plymouth vs Glasgow in the Championship). Now, whether you agree with that decision or not is very much up for debate (I certainly don’t as it sets a dangerous precedent), but ultimately that was the decision that was made by the governing body at the time. If I am remembering any of this incorrectly then someone please feel free to correct me,.

 

Whatever your view on whether that match should have counted towards the averages, I’m not sure that Edinburgh or Roynon can take any criticism here with regard to the 2023 season. Every team in the league knew his final average, he was available to them all. And Roynon is willing to do a 600-mile round trip to race NDL which should be commended.

 

I’m also not sure what people think the pay rates are in the NDL but I would severely doubt he will make ‘a stack’ of money.

Don’t know what the pay rates are in NDL ,but with the riders in that Academy Team the crowd levels will certainly not be enough to pay them .IMO

Must have good sponsors.
