Dart League Week 7 vs. Team Money Shots


I sat this game out so I don't know the round by round breakdown, but here's the result. . .

Final Score:
Club Car Bombs 26, Money Shots 17

So the streak continues. Which is great, but all this success is going to come at a price when the playoffs come.

As of 3 weeks ago, th 16 teams were split up into a first division and a second division. After starting out with a brutal schedule (4 of the top 5 teams), we came in 10th and were thus relegated to the second division. For the rest of the season we'll be playing against the 8th through 16th teams until the playoffs come.

This means we're going to be cleaning up. Which means our handicaps will fall accordingly. All this winning is great, but by the time the playoffs come we'll all be sitting at absurdly low handicaps because we're all winning games against the bottom tier teams.

On the other hand, all of the 1 through 8 teams will be playing each other. They'll win some, lose some against good competition and their handicaps will be a reasonably accurate indicator of their level of play.

When all is said and done, it's conceivable that we'll have better handicaps than nearly all of top 1-8 teams, making it nearly impossible to make a heroic run for the title.

I suppose I may be getting ahead of myself a little bit, but if things get too good (which means too bad) the idea of sandbagging could look pretty appealing. Lose a close game here, a close game there, forget to mark down a win dart or 7 mark, that's what might have to happen for us to be in a position at the end of the year.

Until next week. . .

Roll on Club Car.
