Season 3 Week 16
After a week off due to the Family Day weekend, another standing room only crowd of 40+ enthusiastic COC’ers returned to Vincent Massey Junior High School tonight for round 16 of this season's COC dodge ball. Each 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, participants divided up into their respective teams, introduced themselves and came 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. Three of the four teams remained neck and neck throughout the tournament with the exception of Smurfs 2.0 who dominated the round robin with an impressive 8-1-2 performance. Lil’ Red Riding Hoods and Yolks on You finished with identical 4-6-1 records while Green Eggs & Balls were just half a step behind at 4-7-0. 2nd place was awarded to Yolks on You due to their winning record against Lil Red Riding Hoods.
The semi-finals were over quickly as both series ended in sweeps. Tournament favourite Smurfs 2.0 made life miserable for 4th place Green Eggs & Balls while Lil’ Red Riding Hoods defeated a very tough Yolks on You squad to advance to the gold medal series.
The medal round featured an exciting bronze medal series that required all 3 games to determine a winner. When the dust settled a resilient 4th place Green Eggs & Balls squad had knocked off the 2nd place Yolks on You to steal the bronze. In other action, Lil Red Riding Hoods came close but were unable to solve Smurfs 2.0 who went on to secure the gold with back to back victories. Congratulations Smurfs 2.0 on your well deserved Dodge Ball Cup victory tonight!
