Week 24
Hard to believe it is already June and we are just a couple of weeks away from completing yet another very successful COC dodge ball season! Coming back after a week off you could really feel the energy tonight as a very enthusiastic crowd of 44 filled St Stephen’s Junior High School Gymnasium to compete in another exciting round of COC dodge ball. Once again there were several rookies in attendance along with the usual suspects who all arrived with same dream of hoisting the most coveted prize in all of COC sports, the Dodge Ball Cup! As usual, participants were randomly divided into 4 teams and given the task of coming up with a name for themselves. After a few minutes of team bonding, the names were submitted and the quest for GOLD began with game 1 of the 20 game round robin.
Each team played 10 times before being seeded for the playoff rounds. As usual, there was plenty of excitement as teams jockeyed for position throughout the tournament. When the dust settled, TKO totally knocked out the competition with an impressive 8-2 record. Team Four and the Untouchaballs finished with identical 5-4-1 records and were 1-1-1 when facing each other so a quick game of rock paper scissors was used to determine who would be awarded 2nd place. After several rounds of rock / rock, Jen finally outwitted Chris to earn Team Four the 2nd place finish. Finally, the Lucky Balls who managed just one win all evening did it in style with an upset over the powerhouse TKO squad late in the tournament.
In the playoff rounds, it was all about the sweep as each series took just 2 games to complete. In the semi finals it was the heavily favoured TKO and the up and coming Untouchaballs who advanced to the gold leaving Team Four and the lowly Lucky Balls to battle it out for bronze. While Team Four was busy taking out their semi-final loss frustrations on the poor Lowly Balls, the #1 ranked TKO completed their perfect 4-0 playoff run to capture the gold! Congratulations to all four teams on a great effort tonight and especially fan favourite Fluffy who finally found her way back into the winners circle after many weeks of disappointing losses.
