The tweltfh week of Fall 2005 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game.

As for the men, Seth Gunderson snagged this week's high game with a 230, and high series was earned by Andy Metzler with a 600. Read on for all the rest of the details!

Harry Potter and the Magic Balls remains in 7th place, while Bora Bora! remains in 2nd.
On lanes 25 & 26: Munson'd faced off against Three Men and a Babe. With Munson'd forfeiting, all Three Men and a Babe needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. Mission accomplished. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, David Codding ruled Three Men and a Babe with his 572 as they swept the competition. Munson'd remains in 8th place, while Three Men and a Babe remains in 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Tatonka traded lane malfunctions with Derka, Derka. While headlined by Andy McLeod with his 349 series, Tatonka got swept by Derka, Derka. As for the opposition, Most Valuable Bowler Thomas Lin guided Derka, Derka with his exceptional 584 as they swept the competition. Tatonka remains in 1st place, while Derka, Derka moves 1 spot to 4th.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Thomas Lin decimated Division 1, while Freda Schroeder made quick work of Division 2. Phil Schroeder triumphed over his enemies in Division 3, and John Richardson eradicated Division 4.
In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson holds the reins in Division 1; Seth Gunderson and Scott Murdock run the show in Division 2 in a tie; Phil Schroeder reigns over Division 3; and John Richardson is in the driver's seat in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place Tatonka (hcp 34) will hang out with 7th-place Harry Potter and the Magic Balls. Tatonka is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Harry Potter is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 5th-place The Big LeBowlskies (hcp 22) will throw some gutter balls with 6th-place Three Men and a Babe. The Big LeBowlskies might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Three Men and a Babe ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place Bora Bora! (hcp 48) will chuck some balls with 4th-place Derka, Derka. Bora Bora! will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Derka, Derka will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 8th-place Munson'd (hcp 140) will chill with 3rd-place Same Belt, New Notch. Munson'd is predicted to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt is anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
*(Remember, the predicted results above are based on mathematical extrapolations and can be changed by all sorts of factors. If you don't like how your team's results are predicted, you and your teammates have the power to prove the math wrong!)
