Season 6 Week 17
Another great group of enthusiastic COC’ers gathered together at Vincent Massey Junior High School 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. Once everyone had settled in, we kicked off the evening with a brief celebration in recognition of Kelly's 100th event with the COC, presenting her with a custom made milestone cowboy hat to mark the occasion. At the conclusion of the festivities participants 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. The race was a tight one, but when the dust settled, Yellow Bellied Yankees emerged as the team to beat with a hard fought 6-4 performance. Death By Balls and Team Canada finished with identical 5-5 records but 2nd place was awarded to Death By Balls due to their winning record against Team Canada. Last but by no means least, Slippery Seaweed earned 4 victories in 10 tries to finish fourth.
In the semi-finals, both series ended quickly as top ranked Yellow Bellied Yankees swept cellar dwellers Slippery Seaweed to advance to the gold while Death By Balls dropped Team Canada in 2 straight to earn their spot in the championship final.
In the medal round, the sweeps continued as Slippery Seaweed slid right out of the playoffs without a single victory after Team Canada defeated them 2-0 to salvage a bronze. Meanwhile, in other action, Death By Balls outworked the Yellow Bellied Yankees to capture the gold! Congratulations Death By Balls on your well earned Dodge Ball Cup victory tonight!
