Season Premiere Night!!!

After 4 long months Dodge Ball returned to the COC tonight with a vengeance as 40 eager participants jammed St Stephen Junior high school to compete for the most coveted prize in COC sports history, the Dodge Ball Cup! It was great to see so many new faces in attendance combined with plenty of regulars from last season. Everyone arrived on time and within minutes 4 teams of 10 were created. Each team was then given a few minutes to come up with a name and introduce themselves before the 20 game round robin tournament began.

Each team played 10 times before being seeded for the playoff rounds. Cannon Balls finished atop the standings with a 7-2-1 record while Dirt Balls fought hard to keep it close, but managed only a .500 record finishing the round robin with 5 wins and 5 loses. Finally, the battle for 3rd place was an exciting one as the Raging Balls and Great Balls of Fire finished neck and neck with 3-5-2 and 3-6-1 records respectively.

In the semi-finals, 4th place Great Balls of Fire gave the #1 ranked Cannon Balls a good scare by winning game one but were unable to seal the deal, dropping their next 2 losing the series 2-1. Meanwhile in other action, it was the Raging Balls who advanced to the Gold Medal series by sweeping the underachieving Dirt Balls in two straight games. In the medal round, heavily favoured Cannon Balls did not disappoint defeating the Raging Balls in 2 straight games to clinch the gold! The Dirt Balls on the other hand showed signs of life in their bronze medal battle with an early victory only to promptly hand over games two and three to a more determined Great Balls of Fire team. Congratulations Cannon Balls on your gold medal performance tonight!!
