Darts 2009 - 1st Half - Week 10 - Coach's (away)

HTML clipboard

SUMMARY

the last week of the season we played Coach's away...5 wins would have won us 4th place...we needed deep double digit wins to come in 2nd place...anything in between and we wind up in 3rd place...we ended the night 10-5 and CJ & Ecks finished their night 13-2 so that means we end the 1st half in 3rd place and will be taking the 20 mile journey to the hills of Roxborough/Manayunk to play CJ & Ecks in the playoffs...we started the night out strong winning the first 4 801 games...we finished the night with a 50.16 team average...we had 7 team tons and 5 people had a double out...cricket was a whole other story...a very low 1.54 team cricket average with only 1 shooter (Andy) over a 2.0 average...

THE LOW LIGHTS

"dolla bills" were at their lowest since week 1...we had 9 in total fines...a vast improvement from prior weeks...and lets not that 5 of them were squats at cricket...which leaves us with 4 under 20's for the night...pretty consistent shooting except for cricket which was way worse than normal...Ted and Ed had 3 in fines each and tied for the last weeks prestigious "Skippy Award"....Ed had 1 under 20 and 2 squats at cricket...Ted had 3 under 20's...Jr, Jeff and Bill each owed 1 for squat at cricket...Johnny and Andy went fine free...

Bill posted the lowest average of the night at a measly 38.07...Ted was close behind with a 40.88...

as a team we had only 30.83% of our shots under a 40...if we look under the covers once again we see that the following culprits had at least 1 game average under a 40...Ted (25.75), Jr (27.67), Bill (33.00) and Johnny (39.00)...the following shooters had more than 30% of their shots under a 40...Bill (50.00%), Ted (42.11%), Jr (40.91%) and Ed (38.10%)...

Nobody shot in the single digits this week...

For the second week in a row we kept the missed ins to single digits...we had only 6 missed ins...Ed and Jr each had 2 missed ins...Jeff and Bill each had 1 missed in...Johnny and Ted went a perfect 1 for 1 at the ins and Andy didn't even get a shot at an in...

We had 14 missed outs this week...Johnny led with 4 missed outs...Andy and Jeff had 2 missed outs each...Jr and Ted had 2 missed outs...Ed hit a perfect 2 for 2 on double outs...and Bill didn't get a shot at an out...

Ed posts the lowest cricket average...this week Ed only averaged a 1.14 cricket average...Jr (1.29), Bill (1.43), Johnny (1.50) and Jeff (1.78) had averages under a 2.0...not very good having 5 of 6 shooters under a 2.0 average...no big surprise that we only won 1 cricket game...

Jr had 3 0-mark rounds in cricket...Ed had 2 0-mark cricket rounds...Johnny, Andy, Jeff and Bill each had 1 0-mark cricket round...that's 9 rounds with 0-marks...not very good...

Bill finished the night with only a 25% win rate...Jr had only a 42.86% win rate to round up the under 50% win rate shooters...

THE HIGH LIGHTS

this week we had a team average of 50.16...Jeff had the highest average of the night with a 57.98...Ed (55.68), Andy (53.32) and Johnny (52.32) round out the over 50 club...Jr had a 46.69 average to round out the over 45 club...

let's look "over the covers" again this week...i think it's important to recognize the people that average over a 40 every game...and those shooters that shoot better than 70% of their shots over a 40.....Jeff (50.00), Ed (41.67) and Andy (40.67) were the only shooters to average over a 40 in every game...Jeff (90.91% or 3 shots), Andy (81.25% or 3 shots) and Johnny (76.19% or 5 shots) were the only shooters to have over 70% of their shots over a 40...

this week we had 7 team tons...Ed, John and Jr led the way with 2 tons each...Jeff had 1 ton...Andy, Ted and Bill weren't "in the mood" to have any scores in the triple digits...

Ed had the high score of the night (for the 2nd week in a row)...this week with a 135...good job Ed...

Jeff (3 @ 75.00%) led the way with double ins this week...Johnny (1 @ 100.00%), Ted (1 @ 100%), Bill (1 @ 50.00%), Ed (1 @ 33.33%) and Jr (1 @ 33.00%) had the other double ins...Andy didn't even get a shot at an in...

Jeff led the way with 4 double outs...Ed had 2 double outs (actually a perfect 2 for 2)...Johnny, Andy and Ted each had 1 double out...

Andy led the way with a 2.17 cricket average and was the only shooter above a 2.0 cricket average this week...good job Andy...and the rest of you sucky sucky...

Jeff led the way with 3 @ 33.33% >=3-mark rounds...Andy posted 2 @ 33.33% >=3-mark rounds...Jr posted 2 @ 28.57% >=3-mark rounds...John and Bill each had 1 >=3-mark rounds...

Jeff and Johnny led this week with a 100.00% win rate (ie 7-0)...Andy had a 83.33% win rate...Ted (60.00%) and Ed (50.00%) round out the over 50% win rate....

THE QUOTES & RECAP

801-1 -- Ed starts the game with a 81...Ted hits a 15...Ed and Jr each hit a 100...Ed takes the out...good start...we are up 1-0...

801-2 -- Johnny bangs out 2 tons...Jeff hits the double out...

801-3 -- Ed hits an 11 but somewhat makes up for it with a 96 2 rounds later...then really makes up for it by taking the double out...

801-4 -- Andy hits a 92...Johnny takes the double out...after 801 we're perfect at 4-0...

501-1 -- Ed and Jr miss the in...Ted gets in...our first loss of the night...

501-2 -- Jeff gets the in and the out...

501-3 -- Ed and Jr miss the in (AGAIN)...luckily who ever we put as their anchor bails them out...this time Bill gets in...Excluding Ed's last round of 85 the high score was only a 45....another loss...

501-4 -- Jeff gets on with a 87...5 missed outs...Jeff hits the out for the win...

501-5 -- Bill misses the in...Jr gets in...Ted hits a 13...Jr hits a ton...but not good enough...another loss...

501-6 -- Jeff misses the in...Johnny hits a nice 68 in shot...Jeff takes the game out for his 4th double out of the night...

501-7 -- Ed hits a nice 60 on...Jr hits a 95...Ted hits a 14...Ed hits a 135...Ted takes the 60 double out...

501-8 -- Jeff goes into this game without a ton...not to be denied he stands up and nails a 108 double on shot...Andy hits a 83 and the next round takes the game out...we finish the '01 games at 9-3...

Cricket-1 -- Guess how this game turned out...Bill had 1 squat (on the first round nonetheless)...Ed had 2 squats...the game went 14 rounds with only 1 >=3-mark round...that's right if you guessed a loss you'd be the big winner...let's recap...Ed shoots 1, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1...Bill shoots 0, 2, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1...

Cricket-2 -- Jeff shoots 3, 0, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2...Johnny shoots 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 0, 1, 2...not our best game...actually a pretty sucky game and we were lucky to win...when the hell do we have neither of us shoot over a 2.0 average...disgusting...but a win...

Cricket-3 -- Jr has a squat...Jr and Andy both shoot another squat at cork each...Andy does bang out 2 4-mark rounds...this is how it all went down...Jr shoots 3, 2, 1, 0, 3, 0, 0...Andy shoots 2, 4, 2, 4, 0, 1...yup we end the night with a loss in cricket...but win the night 10-5...good enough to keep us in 3rd place...and now we have to drive 20 messages to Roxborough...ughghgghgh...bring your uneven platform shoes...

Quote of the night: Andy (as he is raising his arms)--> "Party over here"....Jr --> "toupee over here"...

Jr --> "I want Bill as my cricket partner"...Ed-->"So do I"...

Jr --> "glitter on Jeff's melon will be like a disco ball...we will all dance around"...disco music in background...

Jr (to Ed) --> "When you shoot cricket with Andy...you will be stroking his c*ck while he is shooting"...

Jeff (to Bill) --> "Yo sprinkler"...as Ed and Jr are doing the sprinkler dance...

Ed --> "Jr is a megatouch bully"...

Johnny (when Bill throws air in cricket) --> "I guess Ted's still playing"...

NOTE: if you want it in the blog just write it on the sheet...I don't discriminate...

CONCLUSION

Actually a fairly solid week this week...we only had 9 in fines and more than half were in squats at cricket...hopefully the cricket mess we had this week was a fluke...we had a decent team average of 50.16 with 4 shooters over a 50...we had single digit missed ins...5 shooters had double outs...Jeff and Johnny went a perfect 7-0...on the not so good side...only 1 shooter over a 2.0 in cricket...double digit missed outs...only 7 tons...let's focus every dart of every round...

Well the first half regular season is over...and unlucky for us we have to play away in the first round of the playoffs against CJ & Ecks...it's just a hike to get there and the bar is not level...but other than that we just have to go there and win 8 games...which should be possible...most people didn't shoot well the first time we played there...maybe now that we know what to expect we can put that to use and go in there and win...

YTD Leaders

Average - Jeff (62.46); High Score - Jeff (180); Tons - Jeff (28 @ 13.46%); % of shots over 40 - Jeff (85.58%); Double Ins - Jeff (26 @ 63.41%); Double Outs - Jeff (21 @ 46.67%)...

Cricket Average - Jeff (2.40); >=3-mark rounds - Jeff (24 @ 40.00%); Overall win % - Jeff (67.16%); Fines (low) - Jeff (9)

It was a close race with Johnny for cricket average this half...I managed to squeak by the last week of the season with a 2.40 vs Johnny's 2.39...and that's right TheNoocH does a clean sweep for the first half stats...

And by popular demand...other people wanted to see their names too...so I guess the only way to do that is put up a YTD Loser Leader section...unfortunately I don't think you want to be on this list...

YTD LOSER Leaders

Low Average - Jr (46.16); Low Score - Ed (3), Bill (3); Under 9's - Ed (7); % of shots under 40 - Bill (42.31%); Missed Ins - Ed (28 @ 60.87%) / Ted (13 @ 72.22%); Missed Outs - Andy (35 @ 81.40%) / Jr (23 @ 82.14%)...

Low Cricket Average - Ted (1.56); 0-mark rounds - Andy (17 @ 23.61%); Overall Losing % - Ed (58.21%); Fines (high) - Andy (42)...
