Warning: Division by zero in /home/gutter/public_html/modules/inc_mvbGuttercomboPAST.php on line 100
By now every team has bowled each other once, so next week is the Fall 2004 position round. But enough about next week, you came here to read about this week. The seventh week saw one team climb in the standings, while four teams slipped. One bowler roll a new personal best game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (163) and series (466) for the women, while James Long earned this week's high game (239) and series (598) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Recreation Intoxication did battle with Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers. Highlighting the skills of Pat Searcy with his above-average 597 series, Recreation collected 3 wins against the Ninjas. On the other half of the score sheet, Dennis Laube took the lead in the Ninjas with his below-average 447 despite his team notching only a single win. Recreation Intoxication remains in 1st place, while the Ninjas sink 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Die Schlag-Maschinen had a delightful time with Bowlkake. Notwithstanding the leadership of Mike Killion with his dazzling 403 series, Die Schlag-Maschinen accomplished only 1 win against Bowlkake. Meanwhile, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) James Long commanded Bowlkake with his commanding 598 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Die Schlag-Maschinen remains in 7th place, while Bowlkake sinks 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Ashley Razabacks hung out with The Belt Strikes Back. With the Razabacks forfeiting, all the Belt 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, Nik Domann oversaw the Belt with his above-average 535 as they swept the competition. Ashley Razabacks remains in 8th place, while the Belt jumps 4 spots to 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: A Solid No. 2 deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Paul Hamms. Blessed by Eric Lynch with his 477 series, No. 2 collected 3 wins against the Hamms. Countering this, Bill Krejci shined in the Hamms with his 542 despite his team notching only a single win. A Solid No. 2 drops 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Hamms sink 1 spot to 4th.
Bowlers getting the VIP treatment in The 200 Club include: Bob Brunker (236), James Long (239), Nik Domann (202), and Pat Searcy (204,201)

The 239 rolled by James Long is tied for the 10th-best men's game in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Pat Searcy decimated Division 1, while James Long claimed victory in Division 2. Mike Killion conquered Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Ray Haynes came closest). In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy is in the driver's seat in Division 1; Nik Domann holds the reins in Division 2; Mike Killion calls the shots for Division 3; and Ray Haynes leads Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Recreation Intoxication will battle 2nd-place The Belt Strikes Back (hcp 23). Recreation is expected to perform well and win the series; while the Belt is forecast to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers (hcp 5) will throw some gutter balls with 4th-place Paul Hamms. The Ninjas might perform well and win the series; while the Hamms ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Bowlkake will tussle with 6th-place A Solid No. 2 (hcp 29). Bowlkake will likely have a bit of an off night and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while No. 2 will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen will share a couple of pitchers with 8th-place Ashley Razabacks (hcp 374). Die Schlag-Maschinen is predicted to perform well and sweep the series; while the Razabacks are anticipated to see their team average take a dive while they endure a rough night.
