No.   NDL uses straight averages.   

A new average takes effect 7 days after completing 4 matches, regardless of whether home or away.  (unless your name is Adam Roynon).     

An unattached rider gets an average after 4 matches regardless of which team you ride for.

Great thank you :)

Was there an actual reason roynon didn't get a new average? starting this season on a 6 is a joke really

His fourth match was after the cut-off date so not included. Although there is nothing in the rules to state that ordinary league fixtures post cut-off should be discounted.

Id rather see riders like Adam in the national league rather than being disallowed

It’s not about disallowing him it’s about him being given the average he got after riding 4 matches

Or using him on double his current Championship average. Not double the Championship average he had when he joined Plymouth last year!

Roynon rode his 4th league match on October 4th, which somehow didn't count as it was after the playoffs cut-off date - which doesn't really make any sense as even if the match was raced before the cut-off neither Armadale or Plymouth could make the top 4 anyway! So it's not as if riders would try & drop their averages because it "didn't matter".

However Ashton Boughen rode as a guest a whole month later (Nov 4th) and was given an average, because it was his 4th match!

For the record I have no issue with Roynon raving in the NL, just think it should be on the right average.

But it appears the BSPL are more interested in making sure a 34 year old with previous Premiership experience, who's being racing since 2007 get all the assistance possible to find a team, with his low average. But Ashton Boughen a 15 year old who has only ridden FOUR matches in his career - let's give him an average to screw with the team who gives him a chance!

Roynon also had 5 guest appearances which don't count for averages, but Boughen's guest appearances did!

That’s speedway though, rules made up to suit as they go along.

Completely agree no sense to it at all, even if Adam had his correct ave 9+ teams still would of used him
