Season 6 Week 24
Another great group of enthusiastic COC’ers gathered together at St Stephen 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 arrived, we kicked things off with a brief celebration in honour of Ed’s 46th birthday, complete with party hat, balloons, sparklers and cake! In addition, we also paid tribute to Gerardo (our favourite photographer) on his 300th event with the club, presenting him with a custom made milestone cowboy hat to mark the occasion. At the conclusion of the festivities, individuals gathered together with their fellow teammates to introduce themselves and come up with a team name. After a few minutes of team 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. Beer Ball dominated the round robin with an impressive 8-2 performance followed by Home of the Big Baby Blue Stingers (5-5), Team Yellow (4-6) and last but not least We Are Spartan who collected 3 wins in 10 tries.
In the semi-finals, both series required exciting tie breakers to determine a winner. Number two seed Home of the Big Baby Blue Stingers held off 3rd place Team Yellow to earn a spot in the championship final while last place We Are Spartan stunned top ranked Beer Ball to advance to the gold.
In the medal round, once again both series went the distance but unfortunately for Beer Ball it ended with the same result as they completed their slide from first to worst after suffering yet another upset, this time at the hands of a more determined Team Yellow squad. Meanwhile in other action, Home of the Big Baby Blue Stingers outlasted a very tough We Are Spartans squad to capture the gold! Congratulations Home of the Big Baby Blue Stingers on your well earned Dodge Ball Cup victory tonight!
