Week 24!
Tonight we had another great group of 32 enthusiastic COC’ers turn out for a fun filled evening of dodge ball. As usual, participants were divided up into 4 equal teams then asked to come up with a name. Each team then played 10 times in a 20 game round robin style tournament to determine rankings for the playoffs. The teams were very evenly matched with some great battles throughout the evening. Hi-Balls and Hard Rubber both finished the round robin with identical 6-4 records. 1st place honours went to Hi-Balls due to their winning record against Hard Rubber. Close behind was Dodgey Bastards at 5-5 followed by the Deadly Dodgers who limped into the playoffs with a 3-7 record.
In the semi-finals, both series required the full 3 games to determine a winner. 1st place Hi-Balls downed the 4th place Deadly Dodgers while 3rd place Dodgey Bastards upset 2nd place Hard Rubber to advance to the gold medal series.
With time running out on our booking permit, the bronze medal round had to be reduced to a one game “winner take all” finale. The 4th place Deadly Dodgers dug deep but were unable to pull off an upset against Hard Rubber who salvaged a bronze with the victory.
The gold medal series turned out to be a thriller with teams exchanging victories in games 1 and 2. The 3rd and final game saw a very intense battle as the athletes played their hearts out knowing it was now or never. The game went down to the final second when a ball was caught just as time expired. The play was immediately challenged by the Hi-Balls but after extensive video review the Dodgey Bastards were crowned tournament champs. Congratulations Dodgey Bastards on your gold medal victory!!
