WimbleDotte 6 was a soggy success! With an 80% chance of rain, we held off until noon to make a run at some handball. At that time everybody took to work on getting the courts dry. Right as we got court 1 dry, the clouds opened up and dumped a couple more inches of rain on the courts. We took this opportunity to grill some lunch, have a beer, and curse the weather. After that round of rain, we made one more attempt at drying the courts…this time we brought the fire. We got the courts dry again and never looked back.
Because we were 3 hours rain delayed by this time the decision was made to consolidate everyone into a doubles bracket: WimbleDottes, Alums, and even a couple of regular players. It worked out well as everyone got a good share of playing time in and seemed to like the mix of players.

Thanks to the people who dedicate their time to making this tournament a success. Thanks for cooking, picking up, obsessively drying the courts, bringing your own equipment, and everything else you do. This is a labor of love by guys who want the best for our club.
Also HUGE thanks to those who donate to the WimbleDotte. You are the blood of our ideas. And it is never possible without you. Your donations are being rewarded through new guys becoming part of the club, and improvements to the club itself. I will fill you in on both when I see you next. I also have a shirt reserved for you if you haven’t collected already. But all KC handballers, please give a big ‘THANKS’ to these generous donors:
- Bob Bruno
- The Little family
- Ron Scherzer
- Paul Pfannenstiel
- Ron Martin
- Jim Cosentino
- Chris Herbig
- Craig Scherzer
- Tom Marks
- Larry Juarez
- Russ Finkle
Ron Scherzer and family: You donate, you bring new players every year, and you help out. Ron is the reason that I will always do this…and love it. Thanks Bub.
