Week One – PWN Playoffs

By johar923
Well the first week of playoffs was pretty exciting.  Everyone gathered around in the court area as 10:00 rolled around.  There was a cooler full of replenishment beverages, donuts and bagels.  The teams were ready to play.After 21 games and 2 forfeits, four teams were eliminated and the rest will be battling for the championship.  Lisa’s Team Not Dead Yet advanced to the finals with victories over Sharon’s Spikers, Dee’s Diggers and Troyer’s Destroyers.  All the matches were nail biting knock down, drag outs and they wait to see who will challenge them in the final.  Sharon’s team showed some real toughness as they played their matches, taking victories from Rose’s TC and almost surprising Tammy’s Will Work for Sets in the last match of the day. 

Tina’s team has been strong in the playoffs as expected and their only loss was to Lisa’s NDY.  They await the winner of Will Work and the Diggers, which will be the first match next Saturday. 

Tammy’s team had a forfeit in the first round as one team was a no-show.  They were defeated in the second round, but since this is a double elimination, they kept alive by carefully taking the match against Sharon.

Dee’s Diggers are also showing some moxie, with their only defeat going to the Not Dead Yet team.  Their full roster is being used to the utmost to get the job done. 

Rose’s TC had to play with only two players and that definitely put them at a disadvantage in their matches.  They were just getting the hang of it, when they were eliminated in a three game match against Sharon.  Ayse’s Kirks Turks put on a good show and have displayed continuous improvement in their game. 

So next week it will be Dee’s Diggers vs. Tammy’s Will Work for Sets, with the winner playing Tina’s Troyer’s Destroyers.  The winner of that match will take on the undefeated Lisa’s Team Not Dead Yet which is currently living up to its name.  The challengers will have to beat them twice to earn the championship crown.

Come one, come all to the finals.  There will be refreshments again and a few surprise gifts given out to the dedicated members of the Pasadena Wallyball Network.  You won’t want to miss it.

See you on the courts…
