Taking from the British Speedway website:

2023 Rolling Averages are until the May 2023 cut-off date calculated including 2021, 2022 and 2023 results to a maximum number of 20 matches.

As the details of each 2023 meeting are added, the race details from meetings outside this sample are discounted from the calculations - hence if a rider completed 21 or more matches over the period the Spreadsheet automatically only uses the last 20 matches for calculations.

 

Riders who have not completed 20 matches but have an established average (starting with 4H 4A) will receive a monthly average based on matches completed.

For the 2023 season the number of matches used to calculate the Premiership Rolling Average for the official Green Sheet averages are to be reduced by 2 matches each month – starting from 1st June. Therefore June’s Green Sheet averages would use the last 18 matches, July 16 matches etc – culminating in the Green Sheets for October onwards using the last 10 matches.

So, reading between the lines, are ALL meetings taken in to account now as all league meeting must be raced by end of August?

June 18 meetings, July 16 meetings, August 14 meetings, (from 1st) September 12 meetings, October 10 meetings includes any league meetings not raced before the end of August !!! 

Why keep chopping & changing these average rules? We should go back to 20, or possibly16 as arnieg says BUT include all meetings to avoid manipulation as most on here are saying goes on(Lawson on CL average BELOW 8 proves the point)

I posted after reading just page 1 & just seen page 2 including Gambo's post so ignore my post above.

Note, still angry as to why this system was used this year & to next years change to aggregate bonus point.(If it is not broken, don't fix it)
