Simultaneously, Ryan Doll took the lead in 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 deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Hez-Bowl-lah. Showcasing 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. Across the ball return, Pete Forster laid down the law in 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.

David Parre walloped Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Nick Crofoot came closest).

Wilson is in the driver's seat in Division 1; Rich DeYoung runs the show in Division 2; David Parre and Phil Schroeder dominate Division 3 in a tie; and Andy McLeod tops Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 15&16, 5th-place TBD (hcp 108) will face 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 tussle 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 test their mettle against 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 chill 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 compete against 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.
