Eleven players will take part in the 2026 DDL Autumn Doubles Tournament. Five partnerships enter alongside Gary, who will play solo in a competition kept entirely separate from the league and World Rankings.
Group A brings together Gary, Stewart & Alan, and Jon G & Dean S. Group B features Angus & Adrian, Scott & Matt, and Adam & Barry.
Each entry faces its two group opponents twice, giving everyone four group matches. Those games are one leg of 301, double out, with the top two in each group progressing to the semi-finals.
The group stage opens on Tuesday 3 November with Gary against Stewart & Alan. Angus & Adrian meet Scott & Matt on Wednesday 4 November. Games are scheduled for 07:00 UK time, with the final group fixture on Friday 27 November.
The semi-finals take place on Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 December, pairing each group winner with the other group’s runner-up. Both are best of three legs. The final follows on Friday 4 December, best of five. Every leg starts at 301 and requires a double to finish.
Partners alternate visits, while Gary takes every visit for his side. Group positions are decided by wins, then head-to-head results; any unresolved tie requires a playoff.
All fixtures and confirmed results will appear in the existing calendar and on the Autumn Doubles tournament page. No result will add league points, World Rankings points or singles statistics.
