Warning: Division by zero in /home/gutter/public_html/modules/inc_mvbGuttercomboPAST.php on line 100
The fourth week of Fall 2004 saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (229) and series (516) for the women. As for the men, Justin Strelow snagged this week's high game with a 221, and high series was earned by Bill Krejci with a 592. 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 19 & 20: A Solid No. 2 did battle with Die Schlag-Maschinen. Topped by Corey Weinfurt with his below-average 514 series, No. 2 collected 3 wins against Die Schlag-Maschinen. On the other side, Mike Killion guided Die Schlag-Maschinen with his above-average 367 despite his team notching only a single win. A Solid No. 2 leaps 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Die Schlag-Maschinen plunges 2 spots to 7th.

On lanes 21 & 22: Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers spent a romantic evening with The Belt Strikes Back. With the strength of Dennis Laube with his 510 series, the Ninjas collected 3 wins against the Belt. As for the opposition, Nik Domann dominated the Belt with his fantastic 546 despite his team notching only a single win. Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers remains in 1st place, while the Belt plunges 2 spots to 6th.

On lanes 23 & 24: Bowlkake couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Paul Hamms. Despite being led by Ken M. Wilson with his 556 series, Bowlkake got swept by the Hamms. On the flipside, #1 Head-to-Head and Most Valuable Bowler Bill Krejci showed off in the Hamms with his above-average 592 as they swept the competition. Bowlkake plummets 2 spots in the standings to 4th place, while the Hamms move 1 spot to 2nd.

Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Ashley Razabacks alternated between bowling and dry humping Recreation Intoxication. With the Razabacks forfeiting, all Recreation needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. Mission accomplished. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, Angela Bradford oversaw Recreation with her above-average 516 (with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Deena Slinkard) as they swept the competition. Ashley Razabacks remains in 8th place, while Recreation jumps 3 spots to 3rd.

Bowlers paying far too much for well vodka at The 200 Club include: Angela Bradford (229), Bill Krejci (208,203), Dennis Laube (200), Justin Strelow (221), and Nik Domann (209)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Deena Slinkard (194, previous best 192). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Bill Krejci (592, previous best 591).

Angela Bradford earned both this season's women's high game and series with her 229 and 516, respectively.

The 229 rolled by Angela Bradford is the new 4th-best women's game in league history!

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Dennis Laube routed Division 1, while Nik Domann rolled his ass to the top of Division 2. Deena Slinkard won Division 3, and Ray Haynes made quick work of Division 4. In terms of overall points: Dennis Laube dominates Division 1; Nik Domann leads Division 2; Deena Slinkard runs the show in Division 3; and Ray Haynes holds the reins in Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers (hcp 80) will share a couple of pitchers with 4th-place Bowlkake. The Ninjas are expected to perform well and win the series; while Bowlkake is forecast to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
• Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Recreation Intoxication will battle 7th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen (hcp 136). Recreation might maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Die Schlag-Maschinen ought to raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
• Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place A Solid No. 2 will socialize with 8th-place Ashley Razabacks (hcp 492). No. 2 will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while the Razabacks will probably see their team average take a dive while they endure a rough night.
• Finally, on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place Paul Hamms (hcp 60) will challenge 6th-place The Belt Strikes Back. The Hamms are predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt is anticipated to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
