The Inaugural Doubles Knockout 2013
27 Feb 2013 - a good suggestion has been presented, namely to have a doubles knockout tournament, i.e. players would pair up and the sum of their prediction scores would compete against that of an opponent pair for a calendar month. We can try this new format out over March, April and May with the first 8 pairings to come forward, with a view to running a full doubles tournament next season over six months (up to 32 pairings).
| March (108 goals) |
April (135 goals) |
May (89 goals) |

Eight pairings were entered into the trial doubles tournament on a first-come-first-served basis. The draw for the doubles quarter-finals to be played over March 2013 was broadcast live on Friday 1 March 2013 at 8pm GMT or thereabouts on http://justin.tv/hashfootery, after which we were immediately banned for some reason.
In the event of a tie...
- the pairing with the greater number of "3 pointers" in the current month is deemed the winner;
- if still tied, the pairing with more points from the previous month is deemed the winner;
- if still tied, the pairing with the greater number of "3 pointers" in the previous month is deemed the winner;
- if still tied, repeat these same tie-breakers for each month before until a winner can be declared
- in the highly unlikely event that a winning pairing cannot be determined, a decision will be made by @downwithdesign, @kirstieh and @gerrymulvenna
