Ipswich can't book any of those as they are already in a 1to 7,,,, come on keep upĀ 

None of Jenkins, Rowe or Kemp will be in a 1-7 come play off time though as their clubs season will be over :DĀ 

Another daft rule though who comes up with these. Sheffield can take their pick from a number one not in the play offs to cover their injured number one, but we canā€™t use one of those clubsā€™ rising stars to cover our injured rising star. Why? Would love to hear the official reason for this rule.Ā

Surely they are in a 1 to 7 until the whole season which includes play offs are over.Ā

It's been a rule all season though,where any team can have a guest for their number one,and you can't have a guest RS from any teams 1-7.

That's a bit of stupid rule then considering Sheffield can book a No.1 who's already in a 1-7.

Not going to lie I don't bother reading the rules from the off because the higher ups make them up as they go along throughout the season.Ā 

To be fair, they don't make them up, they "interpret" them. Ā Regs often seem to be written without any thought of theĀ possible consequences. Ā They need to be tested, or wargamed, before they are agreed.

I know, but itā€™s a bloody stupid ā€œruleā€.

I think it's one Reg that is actually positive. It stops the use of guests, while encouraging teams to use riders from the available "pool" of Rising Stars, who will be keen to have the chance to continue their learning.

Agree to disagree. The ā€œpoolā€ isnā€™t very big and most on that list are completely out of their depth bar a small handful that the others are already using. You obviously canā€™t run R/R for your number 7 either so this particular rule is a complete nonsense. Anyone who loses their number 1 arenā€™t particularly disadvantaged as they can pick up a current GP rider, but someone losing their Rising Star are pretty much buggered. You should have the same freedom of choice for your number 7 as you get for your number 1. I donā€™t see why one has to be different to the other.Ā

The deciding factor could be if me and General M turn upĀ 

Wonā€™t be there as in Devon on holiday - next meeting for me is at Belle Vue on Monday so just maybe the Witches have a chance in this!!

Ā 

good to see good scores from Danny and Erik both have had their troubles and critics this year!

hold steady witches can do this - butĀ so can Sheffield no room for complacency!!Ā

From Hawkins " Joe came back in on Monday and did well, he was right in the mix, and he is back in again on Thursday. I know there has been a lot of talk of who we can and canā€™t use, so to clear that up, we can use anyone that is on the Rising Star list that isnā€™t in a named one to seven in another team and certainly around Ipswich, Joe is by far the best option."

Absolutely agree. The main thing IMO that we need to get a grip on is clubs borrowing riders from other teams they directly compete against in the same division. The RS list at least gives a group of riders to pick from in the event of an injury who don't ride for a competitor.Ā

Just watched an exicting and close meeting back on BSN from Sheffield, can see Ipswich pulling the KO Cup title with only 6 points gap to pull back on Thursday.Ā 
Has anyone got the times so I can complete my racecard please? I have ordered programmes from both meetings to complete and read too.Ā

Just watched this meeting back on BSN, Iā€™m sure Ipswich had gates 1&3 in heat 3 and 4 ?! Ā Since when was that a thingĀ 

The fixed gates format has been used for several seasons. Didn't you notice that in Heats 5, 6, & 7 the Witches had gates 2&4?
