Title: SL Doubles Season 171
Post by: stupac on March 06, 2023, 04:37:47 PM
Welcome all to Sundayleague Doubles for season 171!

Sadly we didn't get enough teams signed up for 2 leqague of 10, so the last team to sign up, which was Steel City Blades, will have to be first reserve in case someone pulls out.
I have used a random name generator - https://wheelofnames.com/ - for the draw. All 16 team names were added to the wheel. The first 2 teams to be selected by the wheel are a pair and so on.

And our teams are :

The Seg & sMAsHEd
Rathpeacon & Fulhams Finest
Rekrap CF & Nanosoft
BALDBEAN FC & Arcadia Bay
SatinStorm & Rebell Rovers
Walpoles Wipeouts & Pilsners of Belgium
Old Fullerians AFC & King Kennys Army
Bristol Saints & Corinthian Clowns

Group A
The Seg - league creator
Rathpeacon
Rekrap CF
BALDBEAN FC - last to enter
SatinStorm
Walpoles Wipeouts
Old Fullerians AFC
Bristol Saints

Group B
sMAsHEd
Fulhams Finest
Nanosoft - league creator
Arcadia Bay - last to enter
Rebell Rovers
Pilsners of Belgium
King Kennys Army
Corinthian Clowns

Chaz and Antony if you could please create your respective league with the following:

SL Doubles 171 Group A/B
8 team league / every day / cup image 3

Please send password to all teams except last to enter for Group A. Also please both send the password for both leagues to myself so I can get them both started at the same time.

Good luck to all teams!

The Wipeouts of Belgium are currently romping ahead with 6 wins from 6! Can anybody stop the joint pre tournament favourites before they run away with both leagues?!

Meanwhile at the other end, current holders of the wooden spoon are Rathpeacon & Fulhams Finest. But there is still a long way to go yet!

Off to a great start  :D :D

Nice write up mate. Well done

5 long-term injuries at the start of this comp have led me to an amazing 5 draws from 5 games  ::)
Sorry Seg :(

A brave move to put yourself joint favourite then  ;)

ps where is BALDBEAN?!

At the halfway stage, it's a familiar sight at the top (and bottom)  ;)

Walpoles Wipeouts & Pilsners of Belgium  +13 GD 26pts
Old Fullerians AFC & King Kennys Army       +5 GD 26pts
The Seg & sMAsHEd                                        +4 GD 22pts
SatinStorm & Rebell Rovers                            +9 GD 21pts
Rekrap CF & Nanosoft                                     +4 GD 20pts
BALDBEAN FC & Arcadia Bay                        -14 GD 15pts
Bristol Saints & Corinthian Clowns               -10 GD 13pts
Rathpeacon & Fulhams Finest                      -11 GD 10pts

Both Walpoles Wipeouts and Pilsners of Belgium have had a tough few games since the last review. However, their early dominance is enough to keep them on top by goal difference.

The current best performing team in the competition, King Kennys Army, are pushing themselves and partner Old Fullerians AFC right into contention and are breathing down the necks of the shaken leaders!

At the bottom, despite neither team being bottom of their respective leagues, Rathpeacon & Fulhams Finest remain holders of the wooden utensil of choice.

Great write up again mate, well done.

It’s a shame BALDBEAN is letting you down  ;D I’m surprised your not bottom because of him  ;D ;D

My winning streak finally come to an end  :( game on now!  8)

Walpoles Wipeouts & Pilsners of Belgium             +26 GD 42pts
The Seg & sMAsHEd                                                  +23 GD 41pts
Old Fullerians AFC & King Kennys Army                 +10 GD 39pts
SatinStorm & Rebel Rovers                                       +11 GD 31pts
Rekrap CF & Nanosoft                                                 +4 GD 31pts
BALDBEAN FC & Arcadia Bay                                    -32 GD 22pts
Bristol Saints & Corinthian Clowns                           -18 GD 19pts
Rathpeacon & Fulhams Finest                                  -25 GD 19pts


Extremely close at both ends of the table with 4 games remaining!
The only change in the table is The Seg & sMAsHEd jumping to 2nd, only 1 point behind the leaders.

Walpoles Wipeouts & Pilsners of Belgium  keep up the pace and manage to stay on top. But with 3 pairs realistically in the running to lift the title, can they hold on?

There are also 3 teams battling it out to win (or not) the wooden spoon. Who will panic first and get Big Sam in to manage them over the line?!

The game badly needs a fee competitions like this one so thank you running it.

Big Sam coming in. Or Woy Hodgson. Haha. Love the write ups!

I reckon we can do it Marv. Let's smash the last few and take a surprise title for the Old Kings. Ha

Palace have already played the Woy Hodgson card, so he's now unavailable! 😂

I wish haha. Had a horrible back half of this league and can't buy a win. Sorry for being a backpack. Knew my team wouldn't be strong enough to compete currently but I enjoy all these competitions that used to be fun back in the day so I couldn't not enter. Hopefully this runs again soon when hopefully I'm a little more stronger team wise and can actually compete lol

Congratulations to Walpoles Wipeouts & Pilsners of Belgium! Champions of SL Doubles for Season 171!
They dominated the competition from the very beginning, so worthy winners indeed.

With 10 draws between them, The Seg & sMAsHEd just fall short of the top spot. Converting just 1 of them into a win could have seen them crowned winners.

Completing the top 3 are Old Fullerians AFC & King Kennys Army.
At the halfway point, it seemed like they were on the charge to the top of the table, but unable to continue that momentum towards the end, they had to settle for the bronze medal.

A strong final few games for Rathpeacon & Fulhams Finest was enough to save them from being awarded the dreaded wooden spoon. That unfortunate honour instead goes to Bristol Saints & CORINTHIAN CLOWNS.

Walpoles Wipeouts & Pilsners of Belgium             +28 GD 50pts
The Seg & sMAsHEd                                                  +23 GD 49pts
Old Fullerians AFC & King Kennys Army                 +11 GD 47pts
SatinStorm & Rebel Rovers                                       +18 GD 44pts
Rekrap CF & Nanosoft                                                 +9 GD 42pts
Rathpeacon & Fulhams Finest                                  -22 GD 29pts
BALDBEAN FC & Arcadia Bay                                    -45 GD 25pts
Bristol Saints & Corinthian Clowns                           -22 GD 24pts

Thanks to all teams who participated and see you next time!  8)

Awesome tournament and always enjoyed sl doubles. Hope it gets run again soon.

1 thing I will say also is that back in the day I didn't mind players choosing who they wanted to pair with as alot of player knew friends who also played, or just entered their own 2 teams. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the random selecting of pairings too but just throwing it out there also if anyone also had this same thought.

Sorry I couldn't drive any more points home king Kenny, I did what I could with what I have :)

I don't mind people choosing who they want to partner with, we can do this next time if that's what people would prefer to do. I do also have a few different ideas for future iterations!

However, maybe it's just me, but I do believe that entering 2 of your own teams defeats the spirit of the competition.

Thanks Stupac for running this and well done to our winners.

Delighted to avoid coming last. We seemed to get a few results over the last 3 games to leap up to 6th  :D

My team is in a right mess. I changed from 451 to 253 last season and it was the worst thin i ever did  :(
