We’re heading into the final round of the British Dodgeball English Men’s Super League 2024/25, and it couldn’t be set up better. Three teams. One title. Three matches each. Every point, every set, every throw matters now.

To add to the stakes, the top two finishers automatically qualify for British Championships, meaning they won’t have to rely on potential dropouts for an English team to get the third spot.  Even if the title slips out of reach — second place and British Champs qualification are still very much on the line.

Before we get into the wild possibilities, it’s worth noting the official tie-breaker rules from British Dodgeball:

If teams finish level on points, the following are used in order:

1. Set points for-against difference (overall)
2. Most match wins
3. Most total set points
4. Head-to-head table points
5. Head-to-head set difference
6. Head-to-head set points

If still tied: a single set will be played — if needed, followed by overtime, then sudden death.

That last one? It has an incredibly slim chance of happening. But in dodgeball, nothing’s off the table.

London Storm

Storm sit top of the table with 28 points and the best win-loss record heading into the final round. They’re the only team in full control of their destiny — win all three, and the title is theirs. But with matches against both title rivals, including the final game of the season, they’ve got the toughest path to glory.

Fixtures:

• vs Lutterworth Meteors (17:00)
• vs London Storm 2s (18:30)
• vs Leamington Spartans (20:00)

🧠 How They Win:

• Win all 3 → End on 34 points, untouchable.
• Win 2 including Spartans → Finish on 32, may go down to set difference.
• Draw vs Spartans, win other 2 → End on 33, still champions.
• Lose to Spartans, win other 2 → Finish on 32, may go down to set difference.

Key Game: Final match vs Spartans. Title-deciding potential.

Leamington Spartans

Currently second on 26 points, Spartans boast the best set difference in the league. They’re chasing Storm down and will get a chance to prove it head-to-head in the final game. Compared to the others, they arguably have the cleanest path — win all three, and if Storm slip just once, it’s their title.

Fixtures:

• vs London Storm 2s (15:30)
• vs Bedford Rangers (17:45)
• vs London Storm (20:00)

🧠 How They Win:

• Win all 3 → End on 32, beat Storm in final game and would go to set difference if Storm win their other 2 games.
• If Storm drop points earlier, a draw in the final match might be enough depending on Meteors Results and set difference.
• In a tie at 32, Spartans could take it on set difference.

Lutterworth Meteors

Also on 26 points, but with the lowest set difference of the three, Meteors are the outside bet. For them to take the title, not only do they need three wins — they need big ones — and they need both Storm and Spartans to slip up. A tough ask, but not impossible.

Fixtures:

• vs Bedford Rangers (15:30)
• vs London Storm (17:00)
• vs Bedford Mighty Eagles (19:15)

🧠 How They Win:

• Win all 3 → Reach 32 points.
• Hope Storm and Spartans drop enough points to end up on less than 32 so it doesn’t go down to set difference – 3 wins (including beating Storm) and Spartans vs Storm ending in a draw would be enough.)
• Set difference is their uphill battle — if it does come down to a tie on points they would need huge wins through the day.

🧮 These are the most straightforward ways each team could win the title. However, with each team playing three matches, including opponents outside of the top three, there are many permutations that could shake up the final standings and qualification spots.

⏳ The Unthinkable Tiebreaker Scenario

There is one near-impossible path where everything aligns, with sets for and against throughout the day, Storm and Spartans would finish:

• Tied on 32 points
• Tied on set difference
• Tied on sets for and against
• Tied on head-to-head
• Tied on Head to Head set Difference, If Spartans beat storm 15-11 in the final game of the season

In that case, it all comes down to a player-off tiebreaker set.
Still level? Overtime.
Still even? Sudden death.

After 90 games, 2700 minutes, and 6 months of dodgeball it would come down to — One play. One hit or catch. One champion.

It sounds like something out of a dodgeball movie… 🤔

Almost Too Perfect to Believe

However… you’re probably more likely to get a group of foam players admitting cloth is the superior format — and let’s face it, that’s not happening any time soon.
