  The D

A Night of Upsets

It was an evening of upsets, and when all was said and done "The D" was crowned our new Thursday Dodgeball champion.

This season the top five teams from the regular season made it to the playoffs. Our first game of the night was sort of a play-in game, where the #4 seeded "( o )( o )" took on #5 "Thunder Buddies". In that game "Thunder Buddies was able to pick up a 4-2 win, setting themselves up for a tough second round matchup against the best team in the regular season "Redrum".

But, as was the theme of the night, "Thunder Buddies" were able to grab a huge win by a slim 4-3 margin. Perhaps the first game did them well to get warmed up and find a groove, but whatever it was "Thunder Buddies stayed hot and were able to secure themselves a spot in the final.

On the other side of the bracket the #2 team from the regular season, "WTF?", was also upset after "The D" was able to grab a sold 4-2 victory. Most importantly the win meant that we'd have a new champion after both "Redrum" and "WTF?" had held a stranglehold as champions for the last few seasons.

In the championship game "The D" stayed hot and couldn't be stopped, firing on all cylinders. Meanwhile their opponent "Thunder Buddies" looked like they had just run out of steam from their 3rd game of the night. In the end it was a convincing 6-1 victory for "The D".

Congrats to "The D" for a great championship run, and overall fantastic season! They'll have a couple of weeks to enjoy their win before we get set for our upcoming season where we look forward to them trying to defend their title!
