A reminder that REPLAYS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL MATCHES

Highlight Matches:
Frania vs. |Powerman|: DOU boomer vs. zoomer! Frania won the 2017 circuit, when our protagonist Powerman wasn't even COPPA legal, and sits 4th place on the all time DOU Trophy Standings. After a devastating defeat in DLT Playoffs where he put a handicap on himself by bringing Regieleki twice, Frania looks to rebound and climb back to the top of the circuit standings. While Powerman does not have a long history of success like his opponent, he has something even rarer: motivation to contribute to the Doubles Community. We'll see if his enthusiasm can translate to tournament success against one of the most accomplished DOUers of all time.
activity win for Frania :(

zeefable vs. Laurel: Newly promoted VGC leader zeefable has taken DOU by storm. After being forcefully added to the QC team, they had a solid Fall seasonal run before hitting an insurmountable wall in the dedicated zeefable slayer, yours truly, herself. Laurel was a key member of the esteemed US East roster in Doubles World Cup and had a clutch win against Nails that forced the the stacked US Central roster into a tiebreaker (you're welcome Canada) which ended up keeping them out of playoffs altogether. If zeefable decides to bring something actually good besides [REDACTED], I'm sure it will be an exciting showdown.
G1 / G2 / G3
