The sixth week of Fall 2006 saw two teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (202) and series (553) for the women, while Pete Forster earned this week's high game (237) and series (608) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Frickin' Ten Pins took turns kicking the ball return with Bowlkake2. With the strength of Carl Goetz with his above-average 536 series, Frickin' Ten Pins split the series with Bowlkake2. Concurrently, Dennis Laube laid down the law in Bowlkake2 with his 479 as they matched their opponent in wins. Frickin' Ten Pins plummet 2 spots in the standings to 9th place, while Bowlkake2 plunges 2 spots to 8th.
On lanes 17 & 18: All Belts Are Off traded lane malfunctions with Split Happens. In spite of top-billing by David Codding with his below-average 539 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against Split Happens. Countering this, Most Valuable Bowler James Long showed off in Split Happens with his fantastic 537 as his team took the series with 3 wins. All Belts Are Off remains in 3rd place, while Split Happens remain in 2nd.
On lanes 19 & 20: Manute Bowl deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Guttersluts. Led by Travis Kleiner with his remarkable 420 series, Manute Bowl collected 3 wins against the Guttersluts. Meanwhile, Erin deVries shined in the Guttersluts with her 327 despite her team notching only a single win. Manute Bowl leaps 2 spots in the standings to 7th place, while the Guttersluts remain in 10th.
On lanes 21 & 22: TBD faced off against I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter. Demonstrating the prowess of David Parre with his above-average 511 series, TBD collected 3 wins against Not Gutter. On the other half of the score sheet, Ryan Doll called the shots for Not Gutter with his below-average 423 despite his team notching only a single win. TBD leaps 3 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Not Gutter sinks 1 spot to 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: New Balls, Old Rack did battle with Hez-Bowl-lah. Highlighting the skills of Ken M. Wilson with his above-average 600 series, with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler James Long, the Old Rack celebrated a clean sweep over Hez-Bowl-lah. Conversely, Pete Forster mastered Hez-Bowl-lah with his 608 despite his team getting swept. New Balls, Old Rack remains in 1st place, while Hez-Bowl-lah remains in 4th.
Bowlers bribing their way into The 200 Club include: Angela Bradford (202), Carl Goetz (213), David Codding (200), John Richardson (214), Ken M. Wilson (230,224), Pat Searcy (201), and Pete Forster (237,203)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson crushed Division 1, while Freda Schroeder creamed Division 2. David Parre triumphed over his enemies in Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Nick Crofoot came closest). Finally, Travis Kleiner (Division 4) had his way with this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson holds the reins in Division 1; Rich DeYoung reigns over Division 2; David Parre and Phil Schroeder govern Division 3 in a tie; and Andy McLeod dominates Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 5th-place TBD (hcp 108) will match wits with 3rd-place All Belts Are Off. TBD is expected to perform well, but split the series with the Belt; while the Belt is forecast to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 7th-place Manute Bowl will spend some quality time with 6th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 6). Manute Bowl might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Not Gutter ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 1st-place New Balls, Old Rack will chill with 9th-place Frickin' Ten Pins (hcp 34). The Old Rack will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Frickin' Ten Pins will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 2nd-place Split Happens (hcp 32) will throw some gutter balls with 4th-place Hez-Bowl-lah. Split Happens might perform well and win the series; while Hez-Bowl-lah ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 152) will face 8th-place Bowlkake2. The Guttersluts are predicted to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bowlkake2 is anticipated to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
