Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: All Belt, No Buckle entered a showdown to the death with 4 Play. Although blessed by Seth Gunderson with his 451 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against 4 Play.

On the adjacent lane, Rich DeYoung took the lead in Nellielocks with his 520 despite his team notching only a single win. Sub Parre end in 3rd place, while Nellielocks end up with 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Handicrappers celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with The Incredibowls. While headlined by Paul Linder with his above-average 438 series, Handicrappers got swept by The Incredibowls. In the midst of this, Carl Goetz ruled The Incredibowls with his above-average 594 (benefitted greatly by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Freda Schroeder) as they swept the competition. Handicrappers drop 1 spot in the standings to end the season in 6th place, while The Incredibowls move 1 spot to come out in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Bowlingstar Galactica sparred with Big Pin Pin. Starring Eric Lynch with his below-average 464 series, the Galactica collected 3 wins against Pin Pin. . With Pin Pin forfeiting, all the Galactica needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. Bowlingstar Galactica complete in 7th place, while Pin Pin wind up in 8th.
