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!

NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 15&16, 8th-place Atomic Goo (hcp 136) will chill 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 spend some quality time 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 share a couple of pitchers 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 hang out 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.
