Victorian Dodgeball League

Week 11 M2 Ladder Update 📈

Bears remain on top of M2 despite suffering their first loss of the season, while Demons continue to hold onto 2nd and keep themselves firmly in contention near the top of the ladder.

Behind them, the race for the remaining finals positions has become increasingly competitive. Samurais Gokenin hold onto 3rd, while Geelong Wolfpack and Arctic Foxes have both surged into the Top 5 after sitting in the lower half of the ladder earlier in the season.

The biggest story this week is Hurricanes Tempest, who have slipped from 3rd to 7th after a difficult run of results, turning what once looked like a comfortable finals position into a tightly contested battle.

With positions 3rd through 9th separated by just a few wins, the middle of the ladder remains one of the closest contests in VDL, with teams jostling for every
point as the season progresses.

Week 11 M1 Ladder Update 📈

Demons continue to set the pace in M1, extending their lead at the top and remaining the team to catch heading into the latter stages of the season.

The biggest change this week comes in the battle for 2nd, with Archangels overtaking Bears after another strong run of results. While the positions have changed, only a small margin separates the two sides, keeping the race for the top spots very much alive.

Orcas and Angels remain firmly entrenched in the Top 5, while Malamutes continue to hold 6th and maintain a gap to the chasing pack below.

Further down the ladder, Cubs move ahead of Samurais into 7th, while Foxes continue to close the gap after picking up another win. With several rounds still to play, there is still plenty left to fight for across the M1 ladder.

Week 11 W1 Ladder Update 📈

Despite suffering their first loss of the season, Vixens remain comfortably on top of W1 and continue to set the benchmark for the competition.

Demons have strengthened their hold on 2nd place after an impressive run of results, while Angels remain in 3rd and continue to keep pressure on the teams above them.

The biggest movement in the Top 5 comes from Bears, who move up into 4th place ahead of Orcas. With just a single win separating several teams in the middle of the ladder, the battle for positions behind the top three remains incredibly close.

Further down the ladder, Samurais continue to build momentum and remain within striking distance of the Top 5, while Malamutes Blue add another win to their season as they continue to close the gap on the teams above them.

Week 10 VDL2 Ladder Update 📈

The top four remain unchanged this week, with Malamutes Blue continuing their impressive run at the top and Romanz Shield keeping the pressure on in 2nd.

The battle for the middle of the ladder saw the biggest movement. Arctic Foxes move up into 5th, overtaking Bears, while Cubs are the big winners of the week, jumping four spots from 11th to 7th and putting themselves right back in the mix.

Samurais Goshi also make a strong move up the standings, climbing three places, while Tokens slide back four spots after previously sitting inside the Top 10.

With the middle of the ladder tightening, the next few rounds could be crucial in shaping which teams stay in touch with the upper half of VDL2.

Vixens 🦊 remain undefeated and continue to set the pace in W1, now extending their record to a perfect 10-0.
