Season 4 Finale - Week 32
Our 120th COC dodge ball event and season 4 finale was a huge success as 40 enthusiastic participants gathered together at St Stephen Junior High School for one final time this year to compete for the most coveted prize in all of COC sports, the Dodge Ball Cup and vie for the right to have their name forever engraved on the infamous, Dodge Ball Wall of Fame!
We kicked things off with a brief awards ceremony to honour several members for their various accomplishments this season. The following is a list of tonight’s recipients :
IRON MAN AWARD Presented to: Allyson Molsberry and Yannick Gentes in recognition of their perfect attendance record. (present at all 32 events this season). Each of them received a trophy and 2 free admission passes for next season.
PINMANSHIP AWARD Presented to Chris Scutchings in recognition of his unfortunate ability to collect the most pins in a single season (13). A participant is awarded a pin each time their team finishes out of the medals (4th place).
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER Presented to Ian Hofer in recognition of his outstanding play and high level of sportsmanship throughout the season. Ian finished first in the overall Medal Standings amassing 131 points including an impressive 13 gold medals!
At the conclusion of the opening ceremonies, attendees quickly gathered 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. Lemon Jelly Zingers lead the way with a solid 8-3 performance while Let’s Get Gold Over Ian and The Green Party finished with identical 6-4-1 records with 2nd place going to Let’s Get Gold Over Ian due to their winning record against The Green Party. Last but not least the appropriately named Pins R Us managed just a single victory in 11 tries.
In the semi-finals, both series ended quickly as the #1 ranked Lemon Jelly Zingers made short work of the lowly Pins R Us while 2nd place Let’s Get Gold Over Ian swept The Green Party 2-0 to keep their dream of a finale championship victory alive.
In the medal round, both series required a tie breaker to determine the winner. Pins R Us stunned The Green Party with an opening game victory and was just one hit away from a bronze medal when they suffered a disappointing collapse eventually losing the series 2-1. In other action, Let’s Get Gold Over Ian did everything they could to do just that by forcing a third and deciding game in their best of 3 series but when the dust settled Lemon Jelly Zingers prevailed and were crowned the last championship team of the 2011-12 season. Congratulations Lemon Jelly Zingers on your well deserved Dodge Ball Cup victory tonight!
After the tournament most of us made our way to BP’s where we took over most of the lounge to celebrate another fantastically fun season of COC Dodge Ball! Once again a gigantic delicious cake decorated with photos of this season's gold medal teams was enjoyed by all.
