Leonard Gates continues as narrow frontrunner in 'Double Trouble Week' at MODUS Super Series

It remains incredibly exciting in Group A during the 'Double Trouble Week' at the MODUS Super Series. Leonard Gates leads the group after the second day of play, but the standings could still be completely overturned by Wednesday's final games.

There is a special week in the MODUS Super Series this week, as players must not only end legs with a double but also start them with it. After all players have played ten matches, American darter Gates is on top with twelve points and a leg balance of +8. Steve Beaton also has twelve points, but a worse leg balance (+3).

Moreover, behind the aforementioned pair, Andreas Harrysson and Robert Thornton are close behind with both having ten points. The final two spots are occupied by Simon Whitlock and Neil Duff, who have both accumulated eight points.

The MODUS Super Series is a weekly tournament with 12 players competing from Monday through Friday for a spot in the final group, which takes place on Saturday night. A week of play begins with six players competing in Group A. They play against each other once each on the first three days of play. The winner of this pool is directly through to finals night.

The numbers two and three will enter Group B with three new players. They will play each other on Thursday and Friday, after which the top three of this group may also prepare to participate in the final night. The numbers four, five and six from Group A advance to Group C, where they too will be joined by three other players. Two more players from this pool will advance to the final night.

The final night is played on Saturday night starting at 10 p.m. where players compete in a small group stage with two groups of three players, followed by semi-finals and a final to determine the weekly winner. After twelve weeks of competition, all the weekly winners compete in "Champions Week," which is played every thirteen weeks of play to determine who wins the series and takes home the top prize of 25,000 pounds.
