First up, on lanes 1 & 2: FILPB matched wits with . Headlined by Aaron Barber with his 540 series, Eff It collected 3 wins against Team Name Loading. As this was happening, AJ Hofmann with his slightly-off 462 series reigned supreme within Team Name Loading despite his team notching only a single win. FILPB remains in 1st place, while Team Name Loading sinks 1 spot to 3rd.

On lanes 3 & 4: FFK hung out with Gutterly Hopeless. Regardless of the star power of Dustin Schmeltz with his below-average 413 series, Kittens got swept by Hopeless. So what went on with the other team? Well, Most Valuable Bowler Chris Lenz and his better-than-normal 442 series took the lead among Hopeless as they swept the competition. FFK remains in 6th place, while Hopeless move up 1 spot to 4th.

Finally, down on lanes 5 & 6: Squid Row couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Bowls Deep.

Bowlers sneaking into The 200 Club include: Aaron Barber (201), Buck Nasty (201), Chris Windham (200), Dennis Walling (201), and Matthew Taylor (257)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Buck Nasty (201, previous best 189).

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Seth Gunderson spanked Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 2 as it was a complete embarassment. Tim Deddens topped Division 3, and Cat Atwood eradicated Division 4. In terms of overall points: Ian Estey dominates Division 1; Scott Murdock calls the shots for Division 2; Tim Deddens leads Division 3; and Cat Atwood reigns over Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 1&2, 2nd-place Squid Row will meet with 6th-place FFK (hcp 88). Squid is expected to drop their averages like a brick as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Kittens are forecast to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
• Moving to lanes 3&4, 1st-place FILPB will challenge 5th-place Bowls Deep (hcp 100). Eff It might perform well and sweep the series; while DEEEEEEP ought to drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
• Finally, on lanes 5&6, 4th-place Gutterly Hopeless (hcp 76) will socialize with 3rd-place . Hopeless are predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Team Name Loading is anticipated to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
