Phil Schroeder got the better of Division 3, and Rich Oswald conquered Division 4. Congratulations to our division champions! The following eight people will compete next week for the big prize!

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Anchors Aweigh! will share a couple of pitchers with 2nd-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion (hcp 72). The Anchors are expected to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Mass Confusion; while Mass Confusion is forecast to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
• Moving to lanes 17&18, 5th-place Wolverines will face 3rd-place Bowl me Ishmael! (hcp 74). The Wolverines might perform well and win the series; while Ishmael ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
• Then, over on lanes 19&20, 4th-place Theee Beeelt (hcp 40) will tussle with 6th-place Gutter Minds. Theee Beeelt will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Gutter Minds will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
• Finally, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place Spare Change will roll against 8th-place Atomic Goo (estimated hcp 71). Spare Change is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Atomic Goo is anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
