Season 3 Week 11
After a month off over Christmas, COC Dodge Ball finally resumed Friday evening at Vincent Massey Junior High School. A nice mix of regulars and newcomers arrived with dreams of hoisting the most coveted prize in all of COC sports, the Dodge Ball Cup and having their name forever engraved on the infamous, Dodge Ball Wall of Fame! As customary, participants received their team assignment based on the playing card they randomly selected from the deck. Once everyone had checked in, team members gathered together to introduce themselves and come up with a team name for the tournament. After a few minutes of team bonding, the names were submitted and the quest for GOLD began with the first of 22 round robin match ups.
Each team played 11 times to determine their seeding for the playoffs. The games were filled with plenty of excitement and great plays as teams jockeyed for position throughout. S.O.S. finished atop the standings with an impressive 8-2-1 record while the Bald & the Bluetiful were not far behind at 6-4-1. Gangrene and the Pollinators completed the round robin with identical 3-7-1 records resulting in a tie breaking match between the two squads. A gutsy performance by Gangrene earned them a well deserved 3rd place finish while the Pollinators dropped to 4th.
The semi-finals were decided quickly as both series resulted in sweeps. The heavily favoured S.O.S. squad made short work of the lowly Pollinators while underdog Gangrene upset the Bald & the Bluetiful to advance to the gold medal series.
In the medal round, the Pollinators were once again victims of a series sweep this time at the hands of a more determined Bald & Bluetiful squad. In other action, Gangrene surprised tournament favourite S.O.S. with an early series victory but were forced to settle for silver after closing out the championship series with heartbreaking back to back losses. Congratulations S.O.S. on your well deserved Dodge Ball Cup victory tonight!
