Freda Schroeder landed this week's high game for the women with a 156, and women's high series was bagged by Andrea Wilson with a 425. As for the men, Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (299) and series (675). Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Split Happens.

Across the ball return, James Long laid down the law in Split Happens with his commanding 630 as his team took the series with 3 wins.

Bowl Movement remains in 3rd place, while Yoohoo sinks 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Yo Mama faced off against Bora Bora. Although topped by Andy Metzler with his 538 series, Yo Mama got swept by Bora Bora.

Yo Mama drops 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Bora Bora jumps 2 spots to 4th.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Ken M. Wilson came closest), while Stefan Miller topped Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Freda Schroeder came closest), and Andrea Wilson creamed Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about this bracket as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz holds the reins in Division 1; David Codding calls the shots for Division 2; Tim Segraves tops Division 3; and Ryan Doll runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! will tussle with 8th-place Guttersluts (hcp 251). The Belt is expected to maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Guttersluts are forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 5th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo will challenge 4th-place Bora Bora (hcp 44). Yoohoo might roll a little low and get swept; while Bora Bora ought to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Tatonka (hcp 31) will compete against 2nd-place Split Happens. Tatonka will likely roll decently, yet still manage to just barely miss getting swept; while Split Happens will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 3rd-place Bowl Movement will face 6th-place Yo Mama (hcp 200). Bowl Movement is predicted to perform well and win the series; while Yo Mama is anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
