The sixth week of Fall 2003 saw two teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (194) and series (477) for the women. As for the men, Pat Searcy snagged this week's high game with a 199, and high series was earned by Jason Carpio with a 526. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Gutter Minds celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Bowlers of Mass Confusion. In spite of top-billing by Pat Searcy with his 525 series, with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Deena Slinkard, Gutter Minds accomplished only 1 win against Mass Confusion. While that was going down, #1 Power-Ranked Jason Carpio called the shots for Mass Confusion with his above-average 526 (along with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Deena Slinkard) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Gutter Minds drop 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Mass Confusion jumps 2 spots to 3rd.
On lanes 17 & 18: Bowl me Ishmael! faced off against Spare Change. Featuring Paul Linder with his below-average 352 series, Ishmael split the series with Spare Change. As for the opposition, Bill Krejci guided Spare Change with his below-average 456 as they matched their opponent in wins. Bowl me Ishmael! remains in 7th place, while Spare Change sinks 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Wolverines shared a few beers with Anchors Aweigh!. Although topped by Jim Jones with his above-average 462 series, the Wolverines accomplished only 1 win against the Anchors. Meanwhile, Carl Goetz ruled the Anchors with his 514 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Wolverines remains in 2nd place, while the Anchors remain in 1st.
Finally, down on lanes 21 & 22: Theee Beeelt took turns kicking the ball return with Atomic Goo. Despite the strength of Aaron Weidner with his 474 series, Theee Beeelt got swept by Atomic Goo. Countering this, Steve Robinson dominated Atomic Goo with his above-average 487 as they swept the competition. Theee Beeelt plummets 2 spots in the standings to 8th place, while Atomic Goo jumps 2 spots to 6th.
Bowlers ducking past the bouncer at The 200 Club include: No one at all. We sucked.
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Bill Krejci came closest), while Corey Weinfurt creamed Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Jim Jones 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. In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz is in the driver's seat in Division 1; Aaron Weidner tops Division 2; Scott Murdock reigns over Division 3; and Ginger O'Reilly calls the shots for Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 2nd-place Wolverines will socialize with 6th-place Atomic Goo (hcp 45). The Wolverines are expected to perform well and sweep the series; while Atomic Goo is forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 8th-place Theee Beeelt (hcp 100) will roll against 1st-place Anchors Aweigh!. Theee Beeelt might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Anchors ought to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 7th-place Bowl me Ishmael! (hcp 153) will chuck some balls with 4th-place Gutter Minds. Ishmael will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Gutter Minds will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion (hcp 8) will share a couple of pitchers with 5th-place Spare Change. Mass Confusion is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Spare Change is anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
*(Remember, the predicted results above are based on mathematical extrapolations and can be changed by all sorts of factors. If you don't like how your team's results are predicted, you and your teammates have the power to prove the math wrong!)
