Next week is the last week of regular season bowling, and after a season that at first seemed to be heading toward finally letting someone else win for a change, it appears the dark overlords are getting a tighter grasp on yet another victory. Just two weeks left for any of the remaining competition to make a play!

On lanes 1 & 2: Holy Sandbaggers, Batman! found themselves hosting an uncomfortable visit by Frankee's creepy old Uncles. Led by Aubrey Moren and his 507 series, Holy Sandbaggers, Batman! managed only 1 win against Frankee's Uncles. Meanwhile, the unemBrunkered Uncles were led to 3 wins by Carl Goetz and his 651 series. Holy Sandbaggers, Batman! remains in 3rd place, while Frankee's Uncles extends their hold on 1st.

On lanes 3 & 4: Ebowla successfully enplagued Terra Bowler. Led by Sean Miller and his 472 series, Ebowla snagged a feverish 3 wins against Terra Bowler. Meanwhile, weakly led by a sickly Scott Murdock and his 452 series, Terra Bowler could only cough up 1 win before dying. Ebowla climbs 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Terra Bowler remains in a very tenuous 5th.

On lanes 5 & 6: Suckeredusintoit finally hit their stride very late in the season at the expense of the responsible half of FYWFK. Led by Dennis Walling and his 599 series, Suckeredusintoit got their first clean sweep of the season, over FYWFK. Meanwhile, led by AJ Hofmann and his 478 series, FYWFK got schooled. Suckeredusintoit remains in 8th place where alas they mathematically must stay, while FYWFK drops 1 spot to 7th.

Finally, down on lanes 7 & 8: Trump's Toupee build a wall around Omaha Hambone. Led by Jeremy Varnell and his 416 series, Trump's Toupee played a few rounds of golf then grabbed 3 wins against the Hambones. Meanwhile, led by Aaron Barber and his 535 series, Omaha Hambone could only manage 1 win. Trump's Toupee remains in 4th place, while Omaha Hambone remains in 2nd.

Only one week is left of the Tournament of Champions regular season. Division 1 is already set as Aaron Barber and Ken Wilson, it's just a matter of who gets 1st and 2nd. Division 2 is down to Scott Murdock, Phil Schroeder, Jonathan Vigliaturo, and potential upset Sean Simmons. Division 3 has Dennis Laube locked in first, with Zach Cross and Freda Schroeder (and potentially Brandon Martinez if he ever bowls again) still in the running. Finally, Division 4 is guaranteed at James Tott and Chantal Jacot, with only their final placement left to be decided.

Bowlers entering The 200 Club this week include: Carl Goetz (210,245) and Dennis Walling (213,214)

See you next week!
