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. While Scoot rolled his worst series in more than 6 years, Eric Lynch climbed to a 222 by game 3 to lead his team with a 546 series and... (more...)

Tuesday night was an historic night in GutterAlley as, combined, the league put up a pretty big overall average of 168 for Week #3. Tentatively, five teams have moved around in the league standings but last season's champs refuse to relinquish their icy grasp on first place despite only two games separating the top four teams. The Tournament of Champions seeding is now complete and that will kick off within next week's action. For a breakdown of what all went on, just keep on reading...The results... (more...)

As we point out every season, Week #2 is always the most volatile of any given session. Not to disappoint, seven of the league's eight teams swapped places in the league standings in the second week shuffle. 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...)

The very first night of our 30th season of GutterAlley action is now in the books and the league split it right down the middle with four teams coming away with records of 3-1 while the other half took it on the chin 1-3.

The Spring 2014 season officially came to an end Tuesday night with the Finals a mere formality as the new league champions wrapped it all up last week.

The Spring 2014 had two great events take place during Week #14. Firstly, the scrappy band of Jonathan Vigliaturo, Andy McLeod, Ian Goetz, and Seth Gunderson wrapped up the season to clinch the championship crown the week before the Finals.

The Finals are almost upon us as Week #14 proved to be a quiet one in regards to any switches in the league standings. The league leaders, however, managed to increase their lead from a mere 1.5 games back up to 3.5 over the rest of the league as they try to wrap up the season before the big Finals showdown. Here's how it all played out...In the first matchup of the evening, reigning champs Bowltron took on opponents Split It & Hit It. With anchor Ryan Doll leading the way with a 573 series... (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. The last few weeks, however, have been rough as three teams are now locked in a battle to walk away the champs. The Spring '14 session's Week #13 brings us to... (more...)

Week #12 is now a part of GutterAlley history and the Finals are now less than a month away. A few weeks back the season looked all but wrapped up for the current league leaders but, despite only two teams swapping places in the league standings Tuesday night, the Spring 2014 may still be up for grabs. Across the league tonight, the infamous ScooterMath™ predictions failed to come to fruition with every single underdog team coming away with more wins than were expected. NOTICE: See the sunglasses... (more...)

Week #11 is now in the books and, with it, came some surprising results: for the first time since the very beginning of the season, the league leaders are almost within striking distance. Now leading the league by only four and a half games, the pressure is now on to keep the momentum going. Around the league, four of the eight teams swapped places in the league standings while the lanes saw some pretty nice output. Let's get into the details, shall we?When he made his debut last spring, no one... (more...)

While the world was watching pranks play out right before their very eyes Tuesday, several others took place on the lanes during Week #10 action of the Spring 2014 season.

To top off the report, the seemingly invulnerable team at the top of the heap took it on the chin in a surprising upset. Read on, friends...and, we promise, there are no April Fool's jokes in here.In the first matchup of the... (more...)

With the Spring '14 position round behind us, the schedule reset and everyone faced their opposition from the very first night once again in Week #9. While the league leaders continue to distance themselves from the other seven teams on the roster, the overall output from the league as a whole is currently the third best in league history with a chance to be the best ever.

The Spring 2014 season is officially now half way complete and it's pretty apparent that the current league leaders are showing no signs of slowing up whatsoever.

Week #8 action witnessed half the league switching spots in... (more...)

The midway point of the season is upon us and, as always, that means that it's time for the position round. For those of you new to the league, this week moves away from the standard schedule and pits the team in 1st against the team in 2nd place; 3rd place battles 4th place; 5th tries to beat up on 6th place; 7th and 8th place wage war against one another as well.Scoot and I usually try to figure out just how high and, consequently, low teams could move around tonight provided "perfect conditions"... (more...)

Week #7 is now in the books and every team has faced off against one another. We've seen big games, win streaks, and come-from-behind victories as well as subpar scores, surprising losing streaks, and games lost with the final throw of the 10th frame.

Ready to hear how the matchups played out? Okay, then...Talk about firing on (almost) all cylinders! The members of Schwetty Balls took on league laughingstocks... (more...)

Going into Week #5, the two teams on top of the league standings were somewhat untested against heavy hitters. No one can claim that now as they found themselves going up against the teams just below them. While one of those teams faltered in their showdown, another one absolutely demolished their competition and extended their lead over everyone in the Spring 2014 season. Big scores, big series, and big wins make up the bulk of this week's recap.The first matchup of the evening featured the debut... (more...)

With four weeks now under the league's belt, two teams have jumped off to very impressive starts having amassed win records of 14-2. Right behind them are two other teams sitting at 10-6.
