Cast1rn Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Was looking at a post on the "general chat" but I only float around the championship and premier pages and feel a lot of knowledgeable people do too. So if after reading the rulebook and seeing what elegible meetings affect the riders averages and what meetings don't it seems madness to me that this season a rider could compete in up to 20 meetings that don't count and only 16 meetings that do. BSN league. 4 league matches 2 semis and 2 finals KOC 2 Quarter, 2 semis 2 finals Playoffs 4 matches and 2 for finals And the ones that count. 8 home and away league matches?? Surely I'm not the only one who thinks this is crazy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 I'd rather count the BSN series group matches than the last 4 league meetings (minimum) from 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 It would make things simpler if all meetings (except Challenges) counted towards averages. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 They used to count, but certain clubs used the premier trophy or whatever it's called to blood assessed riders to get new averages and strengthen once the league started. Now that assessed riders can't go below a 4 no sure it's still required tbh especially with so few league meetings now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole are clearly the strongest team in the Championship yet their green sheet averages as a team show them as being lower (39.87) than Berwick (40.77) and Edinburgh (40.82)! And Plymouth (41.27) has the highest combined average!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definition of average from the Oxford dictionary. "a number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number." But in British speedway we remove up to 52.63% of the potential data to calculate our averages 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Maybe if all the Competition Finals (KO Cup/BSN) were scheduled for after the August cut-off, then perhaps they could all be included in the GSAs rather than just League fixtures.

We have had 3 meetings this month so should drop a little bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cast1rn Posted July 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 To save creating a separate thread, if you could replace the current average system what would you change it with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the rolling averages fine, but maybe the total league matches ridden should be the number used, for this season it would be a 16 match rolling ave in the Championship for example.
