Season 6 Week 3
For the first time ever, it was the females outnumbering the males as 36 very enthusiastic participants gathered together at Vincent Massey School tonight to once again do battle 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 short milestone celebration in honour of Julien's 100th event with the club where he was presented with a custom made ball cap and dodge ball coupon to be redeemed at his next event. At the conclusion of the festivities, 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 20 round robin match ups.
Not only did the gals outnumber the guys tonight but all four teams shared identical male/female ratios of 4:5 (another first) as they battled through 10 exciting matches to determine their seeding for the playoffs. Orange Julien lead the way with a solid 8-2 performance followed by the Emeralds (5-5), Junkyard Dogs (4-6) and last but not least the SapphFires at 3-7.
In the semi-finals, both series required exciting tie breakers to determine a winner. The #1 ranked Orange Julien were given a bit of scare by 4th place SapphFires but held on to advance to the final while number two seed Emeralds fought off a pesky Junkyard Dogs squad to do the same.
In the medal round, both series ended quickly as the Junkyard Dogs avoided a last place finish by defeating the SapphFires in two straight games while Orange Julien captured the gold with a series sweep over the Emeralds to make Julien's 100th event even that much sweeter! Congratulations Orange Julien on your well deserved Dodge Ball Cup victory tonight!
