In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz staked a claim for the Iron Throne in 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) clobbered this week's Interdivisional bracket.Finally, Janelle (Laube) Lamar (Division 3) clobbered this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Stefan Miller holds the reins in Division 1; Rich DeYoung governs Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar calls the shots for Division 3; and Andy McLeod runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Hez-Bowl-lah (hcp 4) will match wits 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 spend some quality time with 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 test their mettle against 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 share a couple of pitchers with 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.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 7th-place TBD (hcp 41) will throw some gutter balls with 4th-place Bowlkake2. TBD is predicted to perform well and win the series; while Bowlkake2 is anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
