The fourth week of Fall 2007 saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Jennifer Seefeldt picked up this week's high game (194) and series (523) for the women, while Don Glasscock earned this week's high game (238) and series (648) for the men. Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions also kicked off tonight, beginning of 13 weeks of one-on-one bowling excitement! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Your Mom matched wits with Seefeldt the Glasscock. Despite the strength of Ryan Doll with his 545 series, Your Mom accomplished only 1 win against the Glasscock. Across the ball return, Don Glasscock reigned supreme in the Glasscock with his 648 (with props to #1 Head-to-Head bowler ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Your Mom remains in 8th place, while the Glasscock remains in 1st.
On lanes 21 & 22: Sh!t, I Don't Know waged a heated competition against Bad Newz Kennels. Headlined by Cory Chorpenning, Duncan Ferber with their 574 series, I Don't Know split the series with the Kennels. Meanwhile, Carl Goetz called the shots for the Kennels with his above-average 596 as they matched their opponent in wins. Sh!t, I Don't Know leaps 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Kennels remain in 2nd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Cannonbelt Run spent some quality time with The GameCox. Led by #1 Power-Ranked Seth Gunderson and his breathtaking 537 series, Cannonbelt celebrated a clean sweep over the GameCox. Countering this, Jason Carpio drew the spotlight in the GameCox with his below-average 438 despite his team getting swept. Cannonbelt Run leaps 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while the GameCox sinks 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Split Happens had some one-on-one time with Ebowla. Regardless of the star power of Nick Allegri with his below-average 451 series, Split Happens got swept by Ebowla. As for the opposition, Most Valuable Bowler Travis Kleiner laid down the law in Ebowla with his stupendous 455 as they swept the competition. Split Happens drop 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Ebowla moves 1 spot to 9th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Dios Mios deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Seriously Handicapped. Demonstrating the prowess of Steve Kiernan with his below-average 488 series, Dios Mios celebrated a clean sweep over the Handicapped. On the other side, Tyler Hilker oversaw the Handicapped with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 395 despite his team getting swept. Dios Mios remains in 3rd place, while the Handicapped sinks 1 spot to 10th.
Bowlers who stripped naked and shared a cozy hottub together in a back room at The 200 Club include: Brian Eye (220), Carl Goetz (214,201), Cory Chorpenning (215), David Parre (217), Don Glasscock (238,230), Duncan Ferber (202), Ryan Doll (207), and Seth Gunderson (212)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Duncan Ferber topped Division 1, while Nik Domann mopped up Division 2. Jennifer Seefeldt walloped Division 3, and Travis Kleiner conquered Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Don Glasscock and Phil Schroeder (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: Duncan Ferber governs Division 1; Nik Domann leads Division 2; Jennifer Seefeldt dominates Division 3; and Travis Kleiner reigns over Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 3rd-place Dios Mios will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place The GameCox (hcp 22). Dios Mios are expected to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the GameCox is forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 9th-place Ebowla (hcp 4) will test their mettle against 10th-place Seriously Handicapped. Ebowla might perform well and sweep the series; while the Handicapped ought to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 7th-place Split Happens (hcp 75) will tussle with 2nd-place Bad Newz Kennels. Split Happens will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Kennels will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 4th-place Cannonbelt Run (hcp 109) will challenge 1st-place Seefeldt the Glasscock. Cannonbelt might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Glasscock ought to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 6th-place Sh!t, I Don't Know will socialize with 8th-place Your Mom (hcp 114). I Don't Know is predicted to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Your Mom 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!)
