Hey Kickballers! Happy Mardi Gras! Hope everyone has had a wonderful week and has had a great time celebrating the holiday!!
WHAT A TURNOUT for Olympic night!! Thank you SOOO much for all of the teams and their participation! It was a very successful night because of all of you!! There were 2 awards that night that were judged on. The first was for the team that won Beer Olympics; and the second was the team with the most creative and best participation with the costumes.
In terms of the Beer Olympics the score was
VERYYY close between a few teams. The score was calculated by how far you got in the bracket play in each game. If you won that game's bracket then you got Gold which equaled 3pts; 2nd Place (Silver) earned 2 pts; Tied for 3rd Place(Bronze) earned 1 pt.. After several rounds of play, the country that came out on top for Beer Olympics was ....
BRAZIL (AKA Mixed Nuts)
Congrats Mixed Nuts!! Come see me on Thursday night and I will give you some money to spend at the bar on the team that night :) Also, congrats to USA for being Beer Pong champs and to Mixed Nuts for winning Flip Cup! Those ended up being the only games that we got far enough to have a gold medal!
The scores for all the teams for Beer Olympics were as follows:
- Brazil (Mixed Nuts)- 5 points
- Great Britain (Como Te Llamas)- 4 points
- USA (Freeballers)- 4 points
- Scotland (Loko 4 Fireball)- 2 points
- Canada (Swift Kickin the Balls)- 2 points
- Mexico (Kick It and Quit It)- 1 point
- Jamaica (50 Shades of Bengay)- 1 point
- Ireland (Friends with Benefits)- 1 point
NOW for the team that won the best participation award. It was very close because all teams did awesome with dressing up for their chosen country. I was especially impressed with how much creativity and thought were put into the costumes. We had everything from Captain America... to Kate Middleton.. to unicorns in tutus representing Scotland (Pictures will be uploaded within the next day)! The winning team, however, seemed to go above and beyond... they had ponchos, flags that were hung at the bar, mustaches, maracas, and even sombreros....(that description should be a dead giveaway on the winner).... That's right...
.......MEXICO (Kick It and Quit It) was the winner of the best participation award! (Please come see me Thursday night as you also will be getting some money for the team to spend at the bar!)
Mark your calendars for the next theme night....
ST PATRICKS DAY THEME for the MID Season Party on Friday March 14th at The BAR in Plano!!!
If you haven't been added to the party list please add yourself and your friends!!!
We had some great games last week! There was our first tie of the season, as well as another game that came down to the bottom of the 5th to determine the winner! Great job Swift Kick, Mixed Nuts, and 50 Shades of BenGay on your wins!
With our season at about the halfway mark, here are the current standings we have for the season!!
This upcoming week the two teams that are still undefeated for the season will face off! Who is going to take over that top spot at the halfway point of the season?!?! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has volunteered to ref thus far and for everyone being on time (early) for the games so we are able to get them started on time! Please continue it!! The schedule for this upcoming week is as follows.
Looks like this the weather is starting to get warmer... slowly but surely! Still planning on the games to be played Thursday night! I will keep you informed if we don't have them anymore but let's hope this sun keeps drying up the fields that were covered by ice earlier this week! Don't know about you... but I am READY for this warm weather to finally be back all the time! Looking forward to another great week of play! Make sure you all wear your WAKA team shirts this week! See you on the fields Thursday night!
