ICSelect Singles Champ Competition 05-06

ICSelect finally managed to get themselves organised enough to have the winter league Singles team Champion competition.

I'd like to say that the competition was a fierce bruising encounter amongst every member of ICSelect which would have made Phil "The Power" Taylor tremble! - Yeah you got it: More like Sunderland vs WBA on the attendence and excitement stakes!

A sorry 4 of us made it to the Horse and Groom to battle it out for team Champ. With various members away with reasons like "I'm too sore to play" it was left to just Bags, Warrior, Naked and Houses to decide who would be Champ.

With the pub lacking any sort of atmosphere we got our own little All play All comp running.


The one good thing was the Electronic Scoreboard (But not for us Dart's Scoring purists - they make Crisp cry as he can't score)


Game 1: Warrior vs Naked

At one point Naked was 200 up but then went crazy and kept busting on high scores. He almost threw it away but came through with a D4 co.

Game 2: Bags vs Houses

A close game that Bags took his eye off. Quite literally on Houses' finish! A superb D6, 3, D6 finish.

Game 3: Houses vs Naked

Another close game (due mainly by the generally standard of all the evening's games being so dire that we had all sunk to a truelly below-breakfast level) saw Houses take his second victory with a D8 co.

Game 4: Warrior vs Bags

Bags recovered to win with a D4 co. - The checkouts were now at that level and didn't improve either!

Game 5: Bags vs Naked

Another victory for Bags this time on D2.


Warrior practicing.


Game 6: Warrior vs Houses

With 2 victories already all that "Safe-as" had to do was win to be Champion. However, before this game Tedi had actually been practicing! It paid off with a D2 co for Warrior.

Final All play All scores:

Houses - 2
Bags - 2
Naked - 1
Warrior - 1

Therefore, Warrior had given Bags a chance to pinch victory of of Houses with a Play-off decider between the two.

Play-Off Decider - Bags vs Houses:

Another close game saw the scores at 112 each at one point. However, this time Bags got his revenge to become this season's ICSelect Champion.


Warrior shows what he thinks about the whole sorry affair!


As punishment I then had to write this report ;-) which I just managed to do before the League's singles final tomorrow evening!
