I have been asked from several quarters recently both on and off the forums regarding how this years GSA work and it HAS changed from previous years
This is what the 2017 Speedway Regulations state
16.2.5 At the end of each Season the BSPA will produce a Listing of all riders who have competed in British Speedway during that season and following approval and/or amendment at the BSPA AGM’s these MA’s (i.e. excluding Bonus Points but including other allowances) will be the Riders MA for the start of the following Season.
16.2.6 These MA’s will remain effective for Team Building, Team Positioning, Facilities, rider eligibility for Heat 15 etc. until new MA’s becomes effective.
16.2.7 A SGB Premiership or Championship League rider will establish an MA after 4 Home and 4 Away fixtures, becoming effective 7 days after the last qualifying Meeting. Should an Established MA not be achieved to be effective from 1st May, then the MC may issue a revised MA, based upon actual rides if the Team re-declares.
16.2.6.1 Updated MA’s will be calculated on all eligible meetings, up to and including Monday’s meetings each fortnight for issue on Thursday to become effective from the next Monday.
My understanding of the above four rules is teams will get New GSA when they have completed 4 home and 4 away (16.2.7)
All our team have Established averages from 2016 which apply until they get their new ones following 4h and 4a
By my reckoning our team will start the process to get new 2017 GSA following our Away meeting at Berwick on the 20th May, not all of our team will get new averages after that date because they have missed meetings through injury and doubling up (Hansen, BWD and Starke) but they should all catch up by the end of May.
New GSA take effect 7 days after the respective 8th meeting.
