Bullseyes and Samoas

The Spring 2012 season kicks off tomorrow night for High Society in casual fashion,  with an exhibition match on our home turf.  Come catch all the action while you snack on Samoas, Thin Mints and Tagalongs.  Nothing is more American (or British, or Irish).  Catch all the action at Society Billiards.

Snail!

Another season is in the books.  The inaugural High Society season ended with a bang, not a whimper, but it ended nonetheless.  The night of darts started out as sweet as a pile of Girl Scout cookies, as we placed our orders and prepared to face off.  Early on in the race to 9 points, things were looking good for The Society.  So good, in fact, that we started thinking about our roster for Round 2 of the playoffs.  But suddenly we found ourselves even after S501, so it became a race to 5.  Cricket has been tough for us all season, and last night was no different. Despite being way ahead in both games, Rich / Turner only managed a split.  And Fred / Scott ran into a buzz saw in the second round, and we found ourselves on the ropes, down 7-5 and needing at least three wins in D501 to keep hope alive.  Rich / Turner swept the first two games, entirely due to Turner's dominance.  He doubled in, he doubled out, and in between he threw a Ton-74.  A really impressive showing, capping off a tremendous season.  In the second round, Fred / Braley gave it their all.  In both games, they pulled out ahead, holding leads of up to 250 points.  It was a nail-biting finish, but in the end we came up just short, and lost 9-7.

We now have the offseason to practice "the Snail," the Snowman,  and countless (ok, 35) other variations.  Looking forward to the third-annual bi-athlon / post-season celebration, and we will see you all next season.

Post Layoff Playoff

It has been a long, barren stretch of darts desert for the Society.  Yes, we played last week, but the final standings were already set, so it was not a real meaningful match.  The last time we played and it mean something was over 6 weeks ago, on December 6.  But tonight begins our playoff run, so hopefully we will be able to hit the ground running. Just in case, there is this little gem of an article, which basically tells us to throw at triple-20.  Ummm, thanks.

How to Make an Office Dartboard That Won't Destroy the Walls

In case you have a ton of free time at the office, this article will show you how to make an "office dartboard" that won't destroy the walls. Of course, it isn't really darts (nice attempt at drawing a board, by the way...) and if you were any good you'd hit the board and not the walls.

O Turner Where Art Thou?

This week we are playing the first place team (we are second), but without our ace.  How will we fare?  Follow all the action right here.
