Mark Twain once said, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics".
It is often true, without knowing the context behind them, statistics alone rarely give you the full picture. Which is why we have just released an upgrade to the Player Form Guide (see example above) which has an additional section detailing each individual game played during the current season including the opposing players and their performance ratings. Now, you can better judge how good a game result is after taking opposition strength into account.
Player Form Guides can be accessed from various places around this site but you might want to seek out your own by clicking/tapping your team on the Results page and following the link "View Doubles Pairs".

The new team tables are similar to the recently launched Top Doubles Pairs league table but have been specifically designed to better inform team captains when making pair selection choices and provide a better understanding of their competitors. This image shows the table for current league leaders Drifters.
The team tables are available to anyone by clicking a team in the main league table on the Results page and then the 'View Doubles Pairs' button. Selecting a pair in the table will bring up their Form Guide.
To avoid information overload, only pairs that have played 2+ games are initially displayed but there is a switch to show all pairs who have competed this season.

You will find versions of this ellipsis symbol ( … ) dotted around the web site. They are links revealing hidden gems of additional information or acting as shortcuts to other parts of the site. When you see one, click/tap it and see what it reveals. You might be surprised!
For example, today we have just added them into the 'Previous Encounters' sections of the fixtures page providing direct links to the related scoresheet. To see the 'Previous Encounters' click the ellipsis link on any fixture!

When was the last time you looked at an online scoresheet on this website? Probably never and maybe you didn't even know you could!
But now there is a good reason to do so. Because not only can you now see who played each game but it is from here where you access the new player form guides. Each doubles pair has their own and provides a lot of detail on how they have played in the league (excludes competitions) during the current season. This example is for Pete Taylor and partner Nigel Cole.
Just go to the Fixtures page, tap/click on a league fixture and hit the "Go to Score Sheet" button. Now tap/click on any of the playing pairs to bring up their form guide.
