Winter Doubles League(WDL) 2022 / 2023 Season
REGISTRATION ENDS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH!
SECURE YOUR SPOT TODAY!
ALL LEVELS AND PLAYERS ARE WELCOME TO COMPETE!
New to MTG? Never played WDL? With a total of 96 participants over the course of the WDL season, this is an incredible opportunity to meet many MTG members.
Form your doubles team now and if you don’t have a doubles partner don’t worry, the WDL host will help you find someone. Any two players can enter as partners, regardless of gender. Divisions will be created based on playing level of the pairs.
New Format for Beginner-Level (2.5) Players.
This year, the format for beginner-level (2.5) players will be "individual doubles", which means that players sign up without partners, and will be assigned a different partner for each match, so you will get to play with a variety of players. Standings will be kept, and awards will be given, on an individual basis.
WDL is open to current MTG members only. Renew or Join Today!
