THPod 1.04: Hampshire & IOW’s Doubles Leagues, and the crystal ball

One of us makes it back from the beach just in time to release this edition ahead of July 27's Apsley matches. Not that we need to see any more action, because Tom has built a crystal ball that tells us all how the divisions will end anyways! Deep stats ahead!

Meanwhile it's Dave's turn to research a Hampshire tennis event, and we dig into Hampshire & Isle of Wight Tennis' Mens and Ladies Doubles Leagues. And it's just in time, too, since it turns out they're pretty much over for the summer. Not much work for the crystal ball to do there.

We debate whether another surreal league structure makes tournaments less accessible the newer tennis players, or just accelerates progress. There’s a little bit of paddle chat along the way (sorry to the tennis purists).
