The fourth week of Fall 2006 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (167) and series (445) for the women, while David Codding earned this week's high game (267) and series (632) for the men.

A new personal best series was rolled tonight by Ben Lee (405, previous best 396). Adding to the excitement, the 267 rolled by David Codding is this season's new high game for men.
The 267 rolled by David Codding is tied for the 5th-best game in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nick Allegri claimed victory in Division 1, while Rich DeYoung had his way with Division 2. Scott Murdock creamed Division 3, and Andy McLeod cleaned up Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about this bracket as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Nick Allegri tops Division 1; Rich DeYoung dominates Division 2; Scott Murdock leads Division 3; and Andy McLeod is in the driver's seat in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 2nd-place Split Happens will chuck some balls with 8th-place Manute Bowl (hcp 47). Split Happens are expected to perform well and win the series; while Manute Bowl is forecast to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 9th-place TBD will throw some gutter balls with 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 68). TBD might maintain their current strength as they just barely miss sweeping the series; while the Guttersluts ought to hold steady as they just barely avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 6th-place Bowlkake2 will share a couple of pitchers with 4th-place Hez-Bowl-lah (hcp 15). Bowlkake2 will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Hez-Bowl-lah will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place All Belts Are Off will face 3rd-place New Balls, Old Rack (hcp 24). The Belt might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with the Old Rack; while the Old Rack ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
