It was a fun and loud night at Edna Vees in Covina. We had stiff competition and lots of cheers and giggles! Round 1 had Coacoa Puffs jump ahead right out of the gate with a daring double down and a score of 12. I didn't think anyone would catch them. Gnomies OG was hot on their trail for most of the game until they got a devastating 0 in round 6! They managed to finish 4th, just outside of the money, or in this case, beer cozies.
Meanwhile, by round 3, The Shamrockies were tied for first with Coacoa Puffs with 18, then overtook them by 2 points in round 4 with an 8 for a total of 26. Mischief Managed started slow- but slow and steady was the name of the game for them as they began to overtake Boogie Shoes with a late run in round 6.
It was starting to look like a fight for third between Boogie Shoes, Mischief Managed, The Youngs and Gnomies OG when Boogies and Gnomies got a 1 and a 0 in round 6 respectively. Boogie Shoes tried to rally in the 7th with a devastating double down gamble that did not pay off. And inexplicably, The Youngs ducked out of the 7th although they were tied for third in the 6th! Odds Rallied from a -1 in the 4th to a lucky 7 in the 7th to finish with a fun and exciting 20. I must say, their personalities just made the night, it really is all how you play the game!
Finally in the 7th Mischief Managed "managed" to pull ahead of most of the field with their equally impressive lucky 7 in the 7th and managed to nip the finish line for 3rd. But not all was lost as we had a sing off in the drinking round between Gnomies OG and Shamrockies. Both players belted out a helluva tune, but Scott from Gnomies won with his rockin' rhythm and stellar voice. Awesome!
And while that battle was going on, the one for first was getting hotter and hotter as Shamrockies and Coacoa Puffs were neck and neck, ever more than those 2 points separating them since round 4. It was down to the wire as they rounded the turn for home in the 7th. Coacoa Puffs won the round with a 6 to Shamrockies 5, but it just wasn't enough as ShamWOWs had been ahead by 2, so they just pulled ahead enough in the photo finish to win by a single point. Way to go lucky Irish Shamrocky champs! What a great and edge-of-your-seat victory!
