A stagnated tenth week of Fall 2025 resulted in absolutely no movement in the standings. JoAnne Barber picked up this week's high game (126) and series (357) for the women. As for the men, Aaron Barber snagged this week's high game with a 214, and high series was earned by Ian Estey with a 604. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 1 & 2: In a pairing of teams of similar strength, Trump's Tariff Turkeys kept grabbing the balls of FFK. Propelled by the skills of AJ Hofmann with his 495 series, Tariff Turkeys collected 3 wins against Fluffykins. On the flipside, Dustin Schmeltz with his 472 series showed off for Fluffykins despite his team notching only a single win. Trump's Tariff Turkeys remains in 2nd place, while Fluffykins remain in 3rd.

On lanes 3 & 4: In a fairly closely-matched lineup Bowls Deep did battle with Gutterly Hopeless. In spite of the prowess of Chris Hagan with his 362 series, Deeeeeep accomplished only 1 win against Hopeless. Concurrently, Jeremy Varnell with his better-than-normal 422 series oversaw Hopeless as his team took the match with 3 wins. Bowls Deep remains in 6th place, while Hopeless remain in 5th.

Finally, down on lanes 5 & 6: No! Not Theo! deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Squid Row. Starring trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Ian Estey and his above-average 604 series, Not Theo! collected 3 wins against Squids. So what went on with the other team? Well, Dennis Walling with his better-than-normal 528 series took charge of Squids despite his team notching only a single win. No! Not Theo! remains in 1st place, while Squids remain in 4th.

Bowlers entering The 200 Club include: Aaron Barber (214), Dennis Walling (200), and Ian Estey (210)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Dennis Walling topped Division 1, while AJ Hofmann routed Division 2. Jeremy Varnell conquered Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Cat Atwood came closest). In terms of overall points: Nick Kinney holds the reins in Division 1; AJ Hofmann leads Division 2; Nathan Burrows runs the show in Division 3; and Chris Lenz reigns over Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 1&2, 1st-place No! Not Theo! will meet with 6th-place Bowls Deep (hcp 192). Not Theo! is expected to perform well and sweep the series; while Deeeeeep is forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
• Moving to lanes 3&4, 4th-place Squid Row will spend some quality time with 3rd-place FFK (hcp 99). Squids might roll a little low, yet still manage to sweep the series; while Fluffykins ought to drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
• Finally, on lanes 5&6, 2nd-place Trump's Tariff Turkeys will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place Gutterly Hopeless (hcp 49). Tariff Turkeys are predicted to have a bit of an off night and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Hopeless are anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
