Not known to many as a morning person but the stats clearly show that Max performs best in the early half of the big day out. He has medalled in 9/12 first half events, posting an average of 8.05 while his afternoon score stands at only 6.69. VDSBGO6! was the event that Max finally carried his momentum into the afternoon session to claim the individual title and made it back-to-back wins by triumphing in VDSBGO!7. Max holds the most amount of all time medals with 20 and will be an asset for any team with the second best head-to-head record.

Greatest VDSBGO moment: An incredible 6 successive 10s on the way to Archery gold.

Worst VDSBGO moment: Twice blowing the individual lead on the 3rd event of the tournament.

Target: To claim a 3rd successive individual title.

​2. Dominic Marshall

Stats
Tournaments: 3
Finishes: 5th, 2nd, 2nd
Head-to-head record: 7-3-3
Average: 29.23
Golds: 3
Silvers: 3

Event Strength

Upper Body: Strong (6.67)
Lower Body: Strong (7.77)

Instrument: Strong (7.57)

Dom holds the joint most amount of medals and his all-round ability makes him competitive in any event. He is the only person to have a 100% record in the team event and will be a welcome addition to any side. Team success has not followed in the individual stakes though as Dom has come up marginally short twice, finishing as runner up in VDBGO2! & VDBGO3! by just a single point. He will be hoping to go one better in VDSBGO7! although will need to improve his Marquee & Mental performance.

Greatest VDSBGO moment: Winning the Go-Kart race for the purple team.

Worst VDSBGO moment: Finishing 7th in Hearts in the final event of VDSBGO2! to lose the title by a point.

Target: Individual success. Dom needs to win the individual title to justify his high ranking.

3. Thomas Mikkelsen

Stats
Tournaments: 7
Finishes: 3rd, 6th, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 5th
Head-to-head record: 21-2-10

Event Strength
Marquee: Very Strong (8.41)

After an indifferent showing in VDSBGO1! & VDSBGO2!, Tom rolled back the years in VDSBGO3! and become the first player to medal in every single tournament event on his way to winning the individual title. The bar was set and Tom matched it in VDSBGO4! taking the title by an impressive 5 points. Mikkelman did not have his best individual performance in VDSBGO!7 but stepped up in the team event to claim his record equalling 6 team title. Unsurprisingly, Mikkel holds the best head-to-head record and the joint most team titles.

Greatest VDSBGO moment: A formidable 29 in FootGolf on the way to winning VDSBGO3!.

Worst VDSBGO moment: Failing to convert a single kick to finish last in Rugby Penalties.

Target: To be the first player to reach 3 individual titles.

4. Reuben Holmes

Stats
Tournaments: 4
Finishes: 3rd, 1st, 6th, 2nd
Head-to-head record: 7-3-8
Average: 27.45
Golds: 4
Silvers: 3
Bronzes: 0
Individual Titles: 1
Team Titles: 0

Event Strength
Marquee: Strong (6.40)
Upper Body: Strong (7.18)
Lower Body: Very Strong (9.58)
Mental: Average (5.81)
Instrument: Weak (2.63)

After a 3rd placed finish in VDSBGO1! & the VDSBGO2! title itself, Reuben disappointed in VDSBGO4! finishing 6th after having missed the 3rd tournament. Reuben struggled in the instrument event Mini Golf, and had no Lower Body event, where he has a very strong record, to draw on. Reuben bounced back with a joint 2nd place finish in VDSBGO7! as the card was much more suited to his strengths with 3 Upper Body and 1 Lower Body event.

Greatest VDSBGO moment: Scored a perfect round in Rugby Penalties to claim his first ever outright gold.

Worst VDSBGO moment: Last place in MiniGolf in VDSBGO4!

Target: To claim a team title.

5. Dan Aked

Stats
Tournaments: 7
Finishes: 1st, 10th, 6th, 4th, 1st, 5th, 8th
Head-to-head record: 17-3-12
Average: 23.71
Golds: 6
Silvers: 2
Bronzes: 2
Individual Titles: 2
Team Titles: 5

Event Strength
Marquee: Average (4.26)
Upper Body: Average (5.43)
Lower Body: Average (5.83)
Mental: Average (5.74)
Instrument: Strong (7.15)

After storming to victory in VDSBGO1!, winning 3 of the 4 events in the process, Aked went from hero to zero in VDSBGO2! as he finished dead last. A mixed showing in VDSBGO3! & VDSBGO4! led some to believe that his title win was a fluke but Dan proved the doubters wrong to claim the VDSBGO5! individual title. Dan has shown himself to be an all or nothing player that can just as easily cruise to victory as struggle in defeat. Nonetheless, his unpredictability makes him a competitor to never count out.

Greatest VDSBGO moment: Winning the Bowling at VDSBGO1! to secure the individual title.

Worst VDSBGO moment: The entirety of VDSBGO2!

Target: To beat Mikkel & Max to be the first to win 3 individual titles.

6. Jack Scott

Stats
Tournaments: 7
Finishes: 6th, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 5th, 4th, 7th
Head-to-head record: 11-4-17
Average: 21.86
Golds: 2
Silvers: 4
Bronzes: 1
Individual Titles: 0
Team Titles: 0

Event Strength
Marquee: Weak (3.75)

Lower Body: Average (4.76)
Mental: Strong (7.53)
Instrument: Average (5.16)

Impaired memory & comprehension, delayed reactions, balance difficulty, blurred vision. These are just some of the effects of short-term alcohol consumption. A poison to most, this man somehow manages to improve his performance after consuming alcohol. Whether it's the superman effect of alcohol or simply coincidence, Jack has a tendency to start slow and perform best late on in the day. All of Jack's medals have come in the second half of the day and this trend continued in VDSBGO6! with two afternoon silver medals. A good start in VDSBGO8! and improvement in Marquee event performance could be all that Jack needs to compete for the individual title.

Greatest VDSBGO moment: Claiming gold in Poker in VDSBGO4!

Worst VDSBGO moment: Marquee event performance.

Target: Any title. As one of only three people yet to have claimed a title of any sort, Jack will be looking for either a team or an individual honour. 

7. Tom Cullum

Stats
Tournaments: 7
Finishes: 8th, 5th, 5th, 4th, 6th, 3rd, 4th
Head-to-head record: 14-1-17
Average: 21.71
Golds: 2
Silvers: 1
Bronzes: 1
Individual Titles: 0
Team Titles: 2

Event Strength
Marquee: Strong (7.05)
Upper Body: Average (4.51)
Lower Body: Average (5.95)
Mental: Average (4.71)
Instrument: Average (5.09)

Tommy C was somewhat of a nearly man in VDSBGO history. After a disappointing 1st tournament, Tom came close to claiming a medal on numerous occasions in VDSBGO2! & VDSBGO3! but had ultimately fallen marginally short each time. He missed out on a bronze by a point in Archery, Rugby Penalties & Basketball and by a metre in Baseball. Tom set out determined to put that right in VDSBGO4! and he did so in some style by storming to victory in the opening event LaserQuest. Tom has improved in every VDSBGO and finished in the top 3 in VDSBGO6!, completing his medal set in the process. He claimed another gold in a tightly contested Disc Golf event in VDSBGO!7 and will hope to continue his upward trend in VDSBGO!8.

Greatest VDSBGO moment: Gold in LaserQuest in VDSBGO4!

Worst VDSBGO moment: Last place in Bowling.

Target: Challenge for the individual title.

8. Olly Burton

Stats
Tournaments: 2
Finishes: 3rd, 9th
Head-to-head record: 2-0-3
Average: 21.39
Golds: 0
Silvers: 1
Bronzes: 0
Individual Titles: 0
Team Titles: 0

Event Strength
Marquee: Average (5.72)
Upper Body: Average (4.22)
Lower Body: Average (5.00)
Mental: Very Strong (9.00)
Instrument: N/A

Having only competed in 1 full tournament, Olly will be keen to prove that his performance in VDSBGO2!, where he produced a solid display to finish in the top 3, was no fluke. Olly excelled in the mental discipline and will be looking to continue this trend, although he remains an unknown quantity in the Instrument discipline. He produced solid showing in VDSBGO!7 but was only able to attend the morning session so finished lower down the order than he perhaps might have. Despite Olly's excellent showing on an individual level in the first tournament, he is one of only three players not to have won a title.

Greatest VDSBGO moment: Finishing 2nd in Hearts in VDSBGO2! to climb from 6th to 3rd overall in the final event.

Worst VDSBGO moment: Missing more tournaments than anyone.

Target: 1st... in anything. Olly is yet to claim a title or a gold in any event.

9. Dan Laryea

Stats
Tournaments: 7
Finishes: 9th, 9th, 6th, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 6th
Head-to-head record: 13-5-15
Average: 19.50
Golds: 2
Silvers: 2
Bronzes: 4
Individual Titles: 0
Team Titles: 3

Event Strength
Marquee: Average (4.71
Upper Body: Average (4.70)
Lower Body: Average (5.14)
Mental: Average (5.141)
Instrument: Average (5.16)

Dan is a confidence player and struggled in the first two tournaments after a poor start in each marquee event. Dan improved in VDSBGO3! though and claimed a Silver in the opening event, Archery. Dan continued to improved in each tournament and produced a career best in VDSBGO4! to finish 2nd overall, the highlight of which was a first ever gold in MiniGolf. Despite claiming two medals in VDSBGO6!, Dan's inconsistent form led to a 6th place finish. Dan has yet to find a specialist category but with no obvious weakness in his game he isn't far off mounting a serious title challenge.

Greatest VDSBGO moment: Stunning the VDSBGO world with a gold in MiniGolf.

Worst VDSBGO moment: Crawling round the track in Go-Karting.

Target: Dan only managed 6th in the standings so he will be hoping for a top 3 finish in VDSBGO7!

10. Scott Mohan

Stats
Tournaments: 6
Finishes: 7th, 8th, 8th, 8th, 7th, 2nd
Head-to-head record: 10-5-13
Average: 18.82
Golds: 1
Silvers: 4
Bronzes: 2
Individual Titles: 0
Team Titles: 3

Event Strength
Marquee: Average (4.07)
Upper Body: Average (4.52)
Lower Body: Strong (6.44)
Mental: Average (5.62)
Instrument: Weak (2.78)

Scott is a Maverick performer of sorts, liable to perform terribly in an event where he will claim to be an expert and superbly in an event he should be useless at. He took bronze in Go-Karting as one of the few participants without a driver's license and finished 2nd last in Hearts having claimed some form, Scott is anything but predictable. Odd it is then that he has overall performances in VDSBGO1! & 2! were statistically the same. Scott was severely hampered in VDSBGO4! due to a broken ankle but nonetheless he managed to claim a silver in poker and the team title with the Black team. VDSBGO7! represented Scott's best performance to date as he finished joint 2nd overall and he claimed his first gold in some style by romping to victory with a 6 throw checkout in Molkky.

Greatest VDSBGO moments: Registering a 6 throw checkout in Molkky to claim his first gold.

Worst VDSBGO moment: Not backing up his claims in Hearts.

Target: Scott is off the mark for gold medals and will hope to claim a second in VDSBGO!8.

11. Owen Findlay

Stats
Tournaments: 3
Finishes: 8th, 6th, 10th
Head-to-head record: 1-2-10
Average: 10.42
Golds: 0
Silvers: 0
Bronzes: 1
Individual Titles: 0
Team Titles: 2

Event Strength
Marquee: Average (4.38)
Upper Weak (3.75)
Lower Body: Very weak (1.88)
Mental: n/a
Instrument: Very weak (1.25)

VDSBGO3! was Owen's debut performance and he seemed to struggle under the pressure of the big day. The instrument heavy card didn't seem to suit him and he came up narrowly short in every event. Owen is still somewhat of an unknown quantity though as he is yet to compete in either an Upper Body event or a Mental event. He was unable to participate in the first 3 events of VDSBGO!7 but arrived in the nick of time for the Orange team to win his doubles match in TOCA to secure the team title

Greatest VDSBGO moment: Being the only player to score a perfect X shot in Archery.

Worst VDSBGO moment: A disappointing debut tournament.

Target: Owen will be hoping to make a full appearance in VDSBGO!8 and a medal along the way wouldn't go amiss.
