Cancel Bowl 3.75: Minding the Gap

Results

Five teams (more or less) converged on Babson College on Saturday, March 22 for this ad hoc attempt at trashy goodness.  The teams played a double round robin, with standings kept via CBA scoring, teams getting one point for winning a half, three for winning a game, and splitting points wherever a tie occurred.

After those games, the final standings were thus:

BU VH1 Divas Dead               30

Gerbil 2 The Grave              26

Dogs Bollocks                   22.5

Brandeis High on Sheep Embryos  13

Brandeis Abrelos Ho-Hos          9.5

For their victory, the BU folks each received their own placard celebrating the 1997 World Series title for the Florida Marlins.  Other team prizes included a set of teen-themed books on romance and faith, crappy video tapes including a guide to driving a Volkswagen Passat, a bunch of small footballs and squeezable toys, and a combo pack of a beach ball and a couple of XFL flags.

On the individual front, scoring went as thus:

Name        Team        PPG

Erik        BU          49.375

Mark        Gerbils     49.375

Ted         Ho-Hos      33.125

Chris       Sheep       30

Kyle        Bollocks    25

Vito        BU          20.625

Jon         Gerbils     20

DP          Ho-Hos      18.125

Diego       Bollocks    17.5

Allyson     Gerbils     15

Brian       Sheep       15

Ellen       BU          14.44

Jon         Bollocks    14.375

Carolyn     Bollocks    13.75

Carpet Boy  BU          13.125

Scott       Sheep       13.125

Matt        Sheep        8.75

Joe         Ho-Hos       8.125

Matt        Gerbils      7.5     

A variety of books were dispensed for the top scorers, including a novelization of Men of Honor, Grapes: A Vintage View of Hockey by Don Cherry, the autobiography of Willie O'Ree, the NHL's first African-descended player, the Teen People book on faith, Judge Judy's book Keep it Simple Stupid: You're Smarter Than You Look, and Kurt Angle's It's True! It's True!

A good time was apparently had by all.  Thanks to the teams for helping out during byes, to Charlie Steinhice for his sending along ACF Detox to play on, and to the room scheduling staff at Babson College for their quick turn around.  Cancel Bowl 4: The One With the Whales, is scheduled for June 21, 2003, also at Babson College.
