Fantastic ride by Borke in heat 8, but deserved win for Poole in the end. Pickering very hit and miss unfortunately, we’ve been lucky with Lawson recently, and he proved that tonight. Well done Sam Hagon, brilliant meeting from him. Track seemed awful, and completely different to other meetings this season. Kemp let us down, but could see he wasn’t interested after a shove from his teammate in heat 5. Hume inconsistent, Jye average, Schlein lacked speed. Well done Poole on the win.

There are various ways to look at riders points totals.

I look at it as how many points you score against an opponent in the other team.

Last night Jye scored 7 and Danyon scored 6 so you would normally say Jye was better than Danyon. The way I look at it says Danyon was better as he beat an opposition rider 4 times and lost to an opposition rider 4 times whereas Jye beat an opposing rider 3 times and lost 5 times (due to Danyon beating his teammate 2 times and Jye beating his teammate 4 times).  Drew also beat an opposing rider 2 times and lost 4 times.

 

To me two riders scoring 4 points (1 point each race) might not be the same. Rider A scores 4 points (gets 1  point from being 5-1'd 4 times) and rider B scores 4 points (gets 1 point each race and the team scores 4-2 each time). Rider A loses 8 times to an opponent whereas rider B wins 4 times and loses 4 times to an opponent.
