NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 2nd-place Recreation Intoxication (hcp 50) will compete against 6th-place Bowlkake. Recreation is expected to roll a little low and get swept; while Bowlkake is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 8th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen (hcp 68) will challenge 3rd-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers. Die Schlag-Maschinen might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Ninjas ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 4th-place Ashley Razabacks will face 7th-place Paul Hamms (hcp 2). The Razabacks will likely maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Hamms will probably drop their average a bit while avoid getting swept.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 1st-place The Belt Strikes Back will chuck some balls with 5th-place A Solid No. 2 (hcp 20). The Belt is predicted to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with No. 2; while No. 2 is anticipated to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
