With the Royals playing once again, pre-bowling scores riddled the league's matchups and worked as a mixed bag across the board.

At the conclusion of Week #7 Tuesday night, every team has now faced one another once.

With the Kansas City Royals amazingly making it into the post-season for the first time since some of our league bowlers were born, half of the league did not show up to roll with plans to either post-bowl or already having pre-bowled. Week #6 had a lot of TBDs and tentatives...until now.The matchup between The Finger Holes and Ballz Out is now available, and patience paid off for cagey veterans. With only two team members putting bowling above baseball, Dennis "Pops" Laube led The F-Holes to... (more...)

The league now has Week #5 in the history books and with it came some serious output from the first place team. While three teams swapped places in the league standings, only two teams remain standing with winning records – which has to be a first in our league's history. In the first showdown between the league's top two scoring teams, 921+ looked to bounce back after a piss poor performance last week.

This week saw most teams either remain fixed in the standings or slide. However two teams managed to buck the trend and improve their position in the league.In the matchup between Ballz Out and More Beer, Chelsea on lanes 41 & 42, Each bowler roll either uncharacteristically well or uncharacteristically poorly, and in some cases it was a combination of both.

Tuesday night was an historic night in GutterAlley as, combined, the league put up a pretty big overall average of 168 for Week #3.

Average were all over the place with one person raising his 27 while another person dropped theirs 17. If anyone could accurately predict what was going to happen in Week #2 each season we'd hire them on the spot to forecast all kinds of things.After a slow start last week, former champions... (more...)

Twice in GutterAlley's recorded history, the eventual champions were able to lock up the season in Week #13 and just coast the rest of the way with the title already in hand. This season's frontrunners looked all but ready to wrap it up coming out of the position round, having amassed the 2nd best first-half win record in league history.
