Season 5 Week 7
Another great group of enthusiastic COC’ers gathered together at Knox United Church this evening 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! As customary, participants received their team assignment based on the playing card they randomly selected from the deck. Participants then gathered together with their fellow teammates to introduce themselves and come up with a team name. After a few minutes of bonding, team names were submitted and the quest for GOLD began with the first of 20 round robin match ups.
Each team played 10 times to determine their seeding for the playoffs. Oldies But Goodies (7-3) edged out Ice Ice Baby (6-3-1) for first place honours followed by Red Room of Pain at 3-6-1 and Where’s Darwin? at 3-7.
In the semi-finals, underdogs Red Room of Pain managed to force a tie breaker but failed to advance, dropping a 2-1 decision to a more determined Ice Ice Baby squad. Meanwhile in other action, cellar dwellers Where’s Darwin? pulled off a massive upset defeating the #1 ranked Oldies But Goodies to earn an unexpected spot in the gold medal final.
In the medal round, the underdogs ruled the day with series sweeps in both the gold and bronze medal finals. Top ranked Oldies But Goodies completed their slide from first to worst with a devastating 2-0 series loss to the Red Room of Pain while Where’s Darwin? completed their Cinderella Story finish with a convincing pair of wins over a stunned Ice Ice Baby squad to capture the gold. Congratulations to Where’s Darwin? on your well earned Dodge Ball Cup victory tonight! Maybe suffering the embarrassment of showing up at the wrong location is just what Darwin needed to get him fired up for victory!?!?
