The fourteenth week of Spring 2003 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Three bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (199) and series (531) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (260) and series (706) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Canned Crabs matched wits with D-Day. Though reinforced by Eric Lynch with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 393 series, the Crabs got swept by D-Day.

On lanes 19 & 20: The Good Sons shared a few beers with Hulk Smash!. While headlined by Steve Robinson with his above-average 474 series, the Sons accomplished only 1 win against the Hulk. Simultaneously, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Carl Goetz reigned supreme in the Hulk with his dramatic 706 as his team took the series with 3 wins. The Good Sons remains in 5th place, while the Hulk jumps 2 spots to 6th.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Pat Searcy clobbered Division 1, while Freda Schroeder creamed Division 2. Phil Schroeder got the better of Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Scott Murdock came closest).
In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy governs Division 1; Ken M. Wilson tops Division 2; Steve Robinson and Phil Schroeder reign over Division 3 in a tie; and Marca Robinson and Tracey Robertson hold the reins in Division 4 in a tie.
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 17&18, 1st-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction (hcp 28) will chuck some balls with 3rd-place Top Guns. Mass Destruction is expected to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Top Guns are forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 4th-place When Push Comes To Shove will throw some gutter balls with 7th-place Spanked (hcp 12). The Shovers might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Spanked; while Spanked ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 5th-place The Good Sons (hcp 96) will match wits with 2nd-place D-Day. The Sons will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while D-Day will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Canned Crabs (hcp 56) will face 6th-place Hulk Smash!. The Crabs are predicted to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Hulk is anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
