Week 10!
Battle of the “Balls”!!! Tonight marked our final trip back to A E Cross for the foreseeable future as all our 2009 bookings are at Western Canada High School. The 9:15pm start was obviously a little late for some as we experienced our lowest turnout of the season with just 24 participants in attendance. With the lower numbers we settled on teams of 6 instead of the usual 7 and played a slightly shorter 18 game round robin.
Sling Balls and Suck My Balls both finished the round robin with identical 7-2 records with the tiebreaker going to Sling Balls. Hurtin Crew and Presidents Choice also finished with identical records each going 2-7 with the tiebreaker favouring Presidents Choice.
In the semi-final round, 4th place Hurtin Crew looked good early on defeating the heavily favoured 1st place Sling Balls in game 1 of their best of 3. Unfortunately the wheels came off in games 2 and 3 for the Hurtin Crew and they were sent packing to compete for bronze. Meanwhile Suck My Balls disposed of Presidents Choice in two straight to easily advance to the gold medal round against their rivals Sling Balls.
The gold medal series was appropriately named “Battle of the Balls” as Sling Balls and Suck My Balls dueled it out for a place on the coveted Dodge Ball Cup! Game 1 went to Sling Balls and with time winding down in the second game, play was abruptly halted by the cleaning staff who were ready to lock up for the night. The Gold was eventually awarded to Sling Balls because they had won game 1 and were leading game 2 at the time of the stoppage in play. This marked the first time the Cup was awarded to a team without officially completing the entire best of 3 gold medal series.
