The Express Trios at PJ’s wrapped up the first season with playoffs last night. Let me tell you, the four teams that were there for their chance at the money all played well and it showed why they were the top 4. We tried to get the matches rolling at 7pm, which actually we were able to get the Money Pit versus Arctic Wolves match going on time. Not the say that the Game Over versus Pineapple & Mixed Nuts match didn’t fly through once it got started. In fact the Game Over match wrapped up before the Money Pit.

The Game Over versus Pineapple & Mixed Nuts match may have started late, but it didn’t take Eddie Wimberly long to take control of things. Grabbing a quick 4 – 0 lead it was looking like Game Over may sweep, but then, as with all good things, Pineapple jumped up to grab a few games of their own. The final score 5-2 Game Over claimed the win.

I watched the first Money Pit versus Arctic Wolves game. Money Pit had backed the Wolves into the 16 / 15 corner when things changed. Arctic Wolves fought back and punched the Money Pit in the nose. The lesson was learned, and Money Pit corrected it’s game play. I did see the Money Pit at a 200 pit sink hole as the Wolves grabbed another game. At the end, Money Pit managed to get to the magic 5 wins only letting the Wolves grab 3 games.

So with both teams now in the money, the two winners battled it out for how much cash they would take home. Money Pit versus Game Over took to a board neither team played on and battled against one another. Games were won on slight mistakes by the other team or outstanding darts when needed. I witnessed Duane tossing a 3 in the bed, with his teammate Matt backing him up with one. All and all, a match that I didn’t mind watching and not playing in, it was finally the whole of why I started this league. In the end Money Pit was 5 to Game Over’s 3.

1st Money Pit $900.00
2nd Game Over $300.00

In closing for the first season, looking through the score sheets, I have to say. MVP for the league would have to be Duane Flajole. Though he may not carry the big average, time and time again he came through scoring big darts, clutch darts I would say, to keep his team winning. Good Job Duane! Once again I have to thank every one that braved my format and style. I think we had an awesome time and things can only grow from here.

We’ll be doing another league in about a month’s time, taking sign up until 7/1/08. Think this time around we’ll pay out $3 a game won to the teams, to give every one a chance to collect some back. The playoff payouts will be a little weaker, but still better than a 20 week season of Medalist and by far cheaper too. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a ring, my number is all over the place. If enough teams are interested, I may even look into making a higher cap for a different division maybe around 75 to get some other players involved, though the competition would be very different, I’d have to have at least 6 teams willing to play in a stronger level. It’s just a thought, we’ll have to see what comes of it. Anyways, next season starts 7/8/08, see you all then.
