The fourth week of Spring 2003 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Janelle (Laube) Lamar picked up this week's high game (191) and series (450) for the women, while Eric Lynch earned this week's high game (226) and series (629) for the men. Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions also kicked off tonight, beginning of 13 weeks of one-on-one bowling excitement! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: When Push Comes To Shove waged a heated competition against The Good Sons. Regardless of the star power of David Codding with his 543 series, the Shovers got swept by the Sons. Across the ball return, Steve Robinson drew the spotlight in the Sons with his above-average 426 as they swept the competition. When Push Comes To Shove plummets 4 spots in the standings to 6th place, while the Sons jump 3 spots to 5th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Hulk Smash! entered a showdown to the death with Top Guns. Although blessed by Carl Goetz with his 552 series, the Hulk accomplished only 1 win against Top Guns. In the midst of this, Pat Searcy oversaw Top Guns with his 541 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Hulk Smash! remains in 4th place, while Top Guns remain in 1st.
On lanes 21 & 22: D-Day deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Spanked. Demonstrating the prowess of Most Valuable Bowler Ken M. Wilson and his splendid 552 series, D-Day celebrated a clean sweep over Spanked. Conversely, Thomas Lin shined in Spanked with his below-average 483 despite his team getting swept. D-Day leaps 4 spots in the standings to 2nd place, while Spanked plunges 3 spots to 8th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Bowlers of Mass Destruction shared a few beers with Canned Crabs. Notwithstanding the leadership of Jarrod Guthrie with his above-average 494 series, Mass Destruction accomplished only 1 win against the Crabs. On the other half of the score sheet, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Eric Lynch laid down the law in the Crabs with his outstanding 629 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bowlers of Mass Destruction remains in 3rd place, while the Crabs remain in 7th.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Bob Brunker shut down Division 1, while Eric Lynch rolled his ass to the top of Division 2. Phil Schroeder walloped Division 3, and Tracey Robertson staked a claim for the Iron Throne in Division 4. In terms of overall points: Bob Brunker reigns over Division 1; Eric Lynch is in the driver's seat in Division 2; Phil Schroeder dominates Division 3; and Tracey Robertson holds the reins in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 4th-place Hulk Smash! (hcp 35) will share a couple of pitchers with 2nd-place D-Day. The Hulk is expected to roll a little low and get swept; while D-Day is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 7th-place Canned Crabs will compete against 5th-place The Good Sons (hcp 15). The Crabs might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Sons ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 6th-place When Push Comes To Shove will battle 3rd-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction (hcp 43). The Shovers will likely perform weakly as they get swept; while Mass Destruction will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Spanked (hcp 12) will roll against 1st-place Top Guns. Spanked is predicted to watch their averages take a plunge as they get swept; while Top Guns are anticipated to drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
