In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Demond Robinson had his way with Division 1, while Ken M. Wilson rolled his ass to the top of Division 2. Shannon Myers staked a claim for the Iron Throne in Division 3, and Marca Robinson spanked Division 4. In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy tops Division 1; Ken M. Wilson leads Division 2; Shannon Myers runs the show in Division 3; and Marca Robinson reigns over Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 3rd-place Top Guns will meet with 7th-place Canned Crabs (hcp 137). Top Guns are expected to maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while the Crabs are forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 1st-place D-Day (hcp 25) will battle 4th-place When Push Comes To Shove. D-Day might perform well and win the series; while the Shovers ought to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 8th-place Spanked will share a couple of pitchers with 5th-place Hulk Smash! (hcp 55). Spanked will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Hulk will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 6th-place The Good Sons (hcp 93) will face 2nd-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction. The Sons are predicted to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Mass Destruction is anticipated to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
