On the other half of the score sheet, Tracy Rychlewski reigned supreme in TBD with her outstanding 469 as they swept the competition. Manute Bowl plummets 2 spots in the standings to 8th place, while TBD moves 1 spot to 7th.

Countering this, David Codding shined in the Belt with his below-average 547 despite his team getting swept.

New Balls, Old Rack leaps 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Split Happens sink 1 spot to 3rd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Guttersluts spent a romantic evening with Hez-Bowl-lah. Although blessed by John Boren with his 555 series, the Guttersluts got swept by Hez-Bowl-lah. As for the opposition, Jason Carpio showed off in Hez-Bowl-lah with his miraculous 576 as they swept the competition. Guttersluts remains in 10th place, while Hez-Bowl-lah remains in 1st.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz topped Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though John Richardson came closest). Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Joel Henning came closest), and nobody claimed victory in Division 4, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 4 as it was a complete embarassment. Finally, Seth Gunderson (Division 2) dominated this week's Interdivisional bracket.Finally, Janelle (Laube) Lamar (Division 3) dominated this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Stefan Miller governs Division 1; Rich DeYoung tops Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar calls the shots for Division 3; and Andy McLeod is in the driver's seat in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Hez-Bowl-lah (hcp 4) will throw some gutter balls with 6th-place Frickin' Ten Pins. Hez-Bowl-lah is expected to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Frickin' Ten Pins are forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 91) will challenge 3rd-place Split Happens. The Guttersluts might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Split Happens ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 2nd-place New Balls, Old Rack will socialize with 9th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 108). The Old Rack will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Not Gutter will probably raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 8th-place Manute Bowl (hcp 106) will test their mettle against 5th-place All Belts Are Off. Manute Bowl might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Belt ought to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
