With more racers intending to join in the series for the last round at Cadwell will they be classed as Guest Riders and not collect points or more importantly take points off riders that have been competeing since the start of the season if they do not meet the following Desmo Due rule
2.1.4 Qualifications for entry to the series
2005
Entrants applying after 12 February 2005 for the 2005 series will have to have been fully paid up members of the Ducati Sporting Club as at 1 January 2005, novice licence holders or not have raced for at least 5 years.
Its already been happening and along with riders getting away with jump starts it has an effect on the overall points total, I know it has on mine.

Hmm, tricky one. On one hand in the original spirit of the series races should be open to any
Club Members fulfilling the criteria, whether they registered at the start of the season.
On the other hand with only small numbers of points separating several groups of riders (yes, that includes me) it could be a bummer losing points, or worse having a "racing incident" over position with someone who is perhaps only using the round as practise for next year and may not meet the 2005 criteria.
Maybe points for the last round should only be awarded to people who have competed in one round this year, regardless of their meeting the requirements?
Tin hat on ;-)
And yes, it seemed a longer hold to me too!
