Five Cowabungas, including Mr. Wicket, Leftie, Sticky Wicket, Surferino and Wick O'Shay played two long and competitive rounds. Each round was fraught with rule controversies, great shots and wicked dialogue. The pre-func and halftime func plus ice-cold Pacificos (yes we drink beer sometimes in moderation) made for rollicking rounds.
Leftie, abashed but unbroken, survived to win the round. Employing a rope-a-dope defense while Poison enabled Leftie to pick off three challengers around the finishing wickets. A near miss by Mr. Wicket left Leftie with a short kill shot for the win. Leftie's kill shot on Wick was the POD because of the unusual action post-shot. Leftie's ball struck Wick and entered but did not fully penetrate a wicket leaving him alive to kill again. (See diagram C)
Surferino won the second round by adopting Leftie's rope-a-dope defense. With the first of two shots earned, Mr. Wicket courageously attempted to bypass Poison Surferino's ball in front of the finishing wickets to set up a shot for poison. Unfortunately he struck Surferino's ball thereby committing suicide. Thereafter, Surferino cleaned house.
The competitive games resulted in four SOD. Two shots by Mr. Wicket, and one shot each by Surferino and Sticky. Each SOD was lengthy and advantaged the player tremendously.
As Rules Chairman, Mr. Wicket is searching for the misplaced rule book. Any assistance would be appreciated.
