The thirteenth week of Spring 2006 saw two teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. One bowler roll a new personal best game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (195) and series (527) for the women. As for the men, Ken M. Wilson snagged this week's high game with a 236, and high series was earned by David Codding with a 627. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Tatonka matched wits with Bora Bora. Notwithstanding the leadership of Greg Franklin with his above-average 407 series, Tatonka got swept by Bora Bora. On the other side, Freda Schroeder shined in Bora Bora with her terrific 527 as they swept the competition. Tatonka remains in 8th place, while Bora Bora jumps 2 spots to 3rd.
On lanes 23 & 24: I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! hung out with Yo Mama. Headlined by Seth Gunderson with his above-average 562 series, the Belt collected 3 wins against Yo Mama. Simultaneously, Andy Metzler called the shots for Yo Mama with his below-average 488 despite his team notching only a single win. I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! remains in 1st place, while Yo Mama sinks 1 spot to 7th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Split Happens had a rendezvous with Guttersluts. Although topped by #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Ryan Doll and his amazing 591 series, Split Happens missed getting swept by Guttersluts by just one pin. Across the ball return, Travis Kleiner showed off in Guttersluts with his exceptional 486 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Ariel Waldman) as his team took the series with 3.5 wins. Split Happens drop 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Guttersluts move 1 spot to 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Sweeter Than Yoohoo took turns kicking the ball return with Bowl Movement. With Yoohoo forfeiting, all Bowl Movement needed to do was roll within 50 pins of their combined team average each game. Mission accomplished. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, David Codding dominated Bowl Movement with his above-average 627 as they swept the competition. Sweeter Than Yoohoo drops 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, while Bowl Movement remains in 2nd.
Bowlers who lied to their significant other claiming bowling was running long then went out for after-bowling drinks at The 200 Club include: David Codding (218,203,206), Ken M. Wilson (236), Rich DeYoung (211), Ryan Doll (202,211), Seth Gunderson (213), and Travis Kleiner (211)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Andrea Wilson (168, previous best 160). Adding to the excitement, the 527 rolled by Freda Schroeder is this season's new high series among women.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson creamed Division 1, while David Codding spanked Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Scott Murdock came closest), and Ryan Doll rolled his ass to the top of Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Scott Murdock (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson governs Division 1; David Codding leads Division 2; John Richardson reigns over Division 3; and Ryan Doll tops Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 4th-place Split Happens (hcp 189) will chuck some balls with 2nd-place Bowl Movement. Split Happens are expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bowl Movement is forecast to drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 6th-place Guttersluts (hcp 216) will test their mettle against 5th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Guttersluts might perform well, but split the series with Yoohoo; while Yoohoo ought to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 3rd-place Bora Bora (hcp 72) will socialize with 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka!. Bora Bora will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 7th-place Yo Mama will tussle with 8th-place Tatonka (hcp 16). Yo Mama is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Tatonka is anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
