Across the ball return, #1 Power-Ranked Carl Goetz reigned supreme in Bowlkake with his fantastic 648 despite his team notching only a single win. Die Schlag-Maschinen remains in 8th place, while Bowlkake remains in 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Recreation Intoxication took turns kicking the ball return with Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers.

Meanwhile, Michael Basham oversaw the Ninjas with his above-average 495 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Recreation Intoxication remains in 2nd place, while the Ninjas move 1 spot to 3rd.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Demond Robinson walloped Division 1, while Jason Carpio eradicated Division 2. Janelle (Laube) Lamar rolled her ass to the top of Division 3Amanda Schulte rolled her ass to the top of Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Barbara Killion came closest). Congratulations to our division champions! The following eight people will compete next week for the big prize!
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place The Belt Strikes Back (hcp 3) will tussle with 2nd-place Recreation Intoxication. The Belt is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Recreation is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers (hcp 49) will roll against 5th-place A Solid No. 2. The Ninjas might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while No. 2 ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 6th-place Bowlkake will chuck some balls with 7th-place Paul Hamms (hcp 127). Bowlkake will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while the Hamms will probably hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 8th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen (hcp 74) will test their mettle against 4th-place Ashley Razabacks. Die Schlag-Maschinen is predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Razabacks are anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.

"Strelow, Andee, and I had a three way that last frame. Err, I mean, we were all three in the gutter. Dammit, you know what I mean!"
