A stagnated fourth week of Fall 2003 resulted in absolutely no movement in the standings. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (196) and series (504) for the women. As for the men, David Codding snagged this week's high game with a 212, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 591. 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: Bowlers of Mass Confusion sparred with Theee Beeelt. Reinforced by Justin Strelow with his above-average 474 series, Mass Confusion split the series with Theee Beeelt. As for the opposition, Most Valuable Bowler Aaron Weidner took the lead in Theee Beeelt with his miraculous 531 as they matched their opponent in wins. Bowlers of Mass Confusion remains in 6th place, while Theee Beeelt remains in 5th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Atomic Goo faced off against Gutter Minds. In spite of top-billing by Steve Robinson with his 453 series, Atomic Goo accomplished only 1 win against Gutter Minds. Meanwhile, Bob Brunker guided Gutter Minds with his above-average 554 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Atomic Goo remains in 8th place, while Gutter Minds remain in 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Anchors Aweigh! chucked gutter balls with Spare Change. Showcasing #1 Head-to-Head Carl Goetz and his above-average 591 series, the Anchors split the series with Spare Change. In the meantime, Demond Robinson drew the spotlight in Spare Change with his 503 as they matched their opponent in wins. Anchors Aweigh! remains in 1st place, while Spare Change remains in 3rd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Bowl me Ishmael! deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Wolverines. Despite the strength of Dennis Pruitt with his 398 series, Ishmael accomplished only 1 win against the Wolverines. In the midst of this, #1 Power-Ranked Dennis Laube called the shots for the Wolverines with his marvelous 529 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bowl me Ishmael! remains in 7th place, while the Wolverines remain in 2nd.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz conquered Division 1, while Aaron Weidner creamed Division 2. Scott Murdock vanquished Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Marca Robinson came closest).
In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz holds the reins in Division 1; Aaron Weidner is in the driver's seat in Division 2; Scott Murdock governs Division 3; and Marca Robinson runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 15&16, 8th-place Atomic Goo (hcp 136) will chuck some balls with 1st-place Anchors Aweigh!. Atomic Goo is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Anchors are forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 2nd-place Wolverines (hcp 4) will hang out with 5th-place Theee Beeelt. The Wolverines might perform well and win the series; while Theee Beeelt ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 6th-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion will spend some quality time with 7th-place Bowl me Ishmael! (estimated hcp 88). Mass Confusion will likely roll decently and sweep the series; while Ishmael will probably raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Spare Change (hcp 17) will socialize with 4th-place Gutter Minds. Spare Change is predicted to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Gutter Minds are anticipated to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
