**Calculated match averages** (CMAs, or averages) is a [handicap](/source/Handicap_(sports)) calculated for every [motorcycle speedway](/source/Motorcycle_speedway) rider.

The CMA is calculated from the following:[1] [2]

          (

                Total points

                Total rides

          )

        ×
        4

    {\displaystyle \left({\frac {\hbox{Total points}}{\hbox{Total rides}}}\right)\times 4}

CMAs scale from 3.00 to 12.00, any rider scoring above or below these values will be awarded the maximum. These averages are used in leagues such as the British [Elite League](/source/Elite_League_(speedway)) to identify heat-leaders for the purposes of choosing which riders to enter for each race.

At the start of a season, a rider retains their last recorded CMA (or assessed CMA if they have never previously established one) until they have competed in six home and six away matches. A new CMA is then issued that comes into effect seven days later. These are subsequently updated each 1 and 15 day of each month onwards.

These CMAs are used in most professional leagues and are altered or weighted depending on the league the rider gained the CMA in. A rider that has no recorded average will receive an indicative CMA for the start of the season that is assessed on their prior experience in the sport.
