It doesn't work like that, Pawlicki and Milik were given 7.50 averages because they were both Ekstraliga riders in 2023 averaging over 6.

By the rulebook chart and under the criteria, Kildemand would be a 4.00 Premiership / 5.00 Championship.

This is because he only rode in the Danish super league this year, i.e Didn't complete 18 or more heats in Poland/Sweden, and has been absent for 3 of more years from Britain.

Could they have signed him in both leagues on both averages? 
If so, Knudsen seems an odd choice.

obviously he probably wouldn’t have wanted to do both leagues but getting him in the championship on a 5 would have been some signing

Kildemand was going to be a 7.10 for King's Lynn in 2022 so that should remain imo

He attained that in 2015 for Swindon. His stint at Poole in ‘18 was only 2h 3a so it didn’t affect his old 7.10. 

He should have really been reassessed in 2020 when we signed him but of course the chance to leave him on his higher 7.10 for us couldn’t be missed by the powers that be. Problem there, as often happens is it then created a problem for Kings Lynn a couple of years on, if they changed that decision it would highlight what they did to The Aces. 

Bringing things up to date, using an average from 2015 is just daft. Glad we didn’t sign him again this year as he’d probably be an 8.00.

Kildemand will be 4.00/4.50 for Oxford. Means the club could go for another top rider. 

4.50  absolute steal if that is his average. Even at 7 worth the gamble.

Totally  agree on that Ave ..Cant  see it been 4 tho ..At 5 they could still get a big hitter  

He's either a 4 or 4.5 as there's no assessed average of 5 for the PL.

Unless the regulations for 2025 have been tweaked from the 2024 regulations

Kildemand confirmed as the No.1 at Berwick.

Conversion rate is x 1.5 isn't it? Therefore Kildemand has to be on a GSA over 5.50 considering Cook's Championship average is 8.42 after the 2.5% Reduction.

Erik Riss' 5.55 Premiership average only converts into a 8.32 Championship average.

Why would he be 8.5 ? 

We've been told he is. [There is really no other conclusion that can be drawn from Berwick's statement that he comes in at no 1.]

However that is not consistent with the categorisation in the table in 10.2.2 of the regs.

The implication is that the wording for 2025 has been amended. Most likely from 'last season' to 'any of last three seasons'.

So Kildemand now comes in on 6 which means all the talk of Dudek, Madsen etc is now out the window.

Berwick announced him as thier number one, Cook has an 8.42 average, they had 8.68 available. The only logical average I could see him having was 8.5?

Someone had previously posted the rules & assessed averages for new / returning riders, but can't remember what topic that was in.

Kildemand signs for Berwick, I'm guessing on an 8.5 average, what would that make his Prem average?

An average "in the interest of Speedway?"...;)

In my defence, I only saw he had signed, i didn't read the article on the website.
