This week saw most teams either remain fixed in the standings or slide. However two teams managed to buck the trend and improve their position in the league.In the matchup between Ballz Out and More Beer, Chelsea on lanes 41 & 42, Each bowler roll either uncharacteristically well or uncharacteristically poorly, and in some cases it was a combination of both. While Scoot rolled his worst series in more than 6 years, Eric Lynch climbed to a 222 by game 3 to lead his team with a 546 series and take #1 Power Ranked bowler honors. This wasn't nearly enough to offset the damage done by Chadwick Andrews and his 492 series (combined with high games by both Bryan Bay and Cliff Barendsen), giving the Ballz a 3-1 triumph over Chelsea. Neither team moved in the standings, however.921+ vs. The Finger Holes was expected to be a very tough battle, but we learned that while Ken M. Wilson can't close a 10th frame to save his life (or health), he's at least apparently the motivator that brings his teams victories. In Ken's absence, 921+ came nowhere close to their namesake as Brian Coe and Kody Karnes co-led the team with 582 series each. The Finger Holes, led by Phil Schroeder's Most Valuable Bowler-earning 539 series (and assisted by high games from Dennis "Pops" Laube and Aubrey Moren), made unusually quick work of the situation and came away with a 3-1 win. 921+ and the F-Holes trade places in the standings.The men of My Three Sons are getting sick and tired of having to calculate handicap after the fact, but that's exactly what they had to do yet again when Dennis Blake made a return visit to Split It & Hit It. Once the furious math was finished, Carl Goetz's 596 series led him and his progeny to a 3-1 victory, while Matt Bunyard let Split It with a 503 series (and a new personal best game of 203). Split It drops 1 spot to 7th, while My Three Sons continues to be the number 1 show this season.Finally, in what is perhaps the biggest upset of the night, dow at 47&48 the yet-to-all-be-seen-at-the-same-time Pin and Tonics trampled all over the Dixie Stampede. With a 558 series, Aaron Barber led the Tonics, while Ryan Doll's 568 was only enough to get the Stampede 1 win. Pin and Tonics climbs 2 spots in the rankings -- the biggest jump of the night -- while Dixie Stampede drops to... dead last?!?!?The Tournament of Champions kicked off tonight, with Ryan Doll winning Division 1 and Carl Goetz taking 2nd. Division 2 was led by Phil Schroeder with Todd Way taking 2nd. Division 3 was devastated by Eric Lynch, with Matt Bunyard taking 2nd. And Division 4 was won by Michael Smith, with Dan Imperial taking 2nd.Bowlers joining or renewing their membership in The 200 Club tonight include: Eric Lynch (222), Kody Karnes (225), Brian Coe (207), Phil Schroeder (204), Jonathan Vigliaturo (213), Carl Goetz (224, 210), Matt Bunyard (203), and Ryan Doll (200).See you next Tuesday!
