The fifth week of Spring 2006 saw two teams climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Tracy Rychlewski landed this week's high game for the women with a 155, and women's high series was bagged by Freda Schroeder with a 439. As for the men, Tim Segraves snagged this week's high game with a 246, and high series was earned by David Codding with a 637. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Sweeter Than Yoohoo entered a showdown to the death with Bowl Movement. Starring Tim Segraves with his awe-inspiring 601 series, Yoohoo collected 3 wins against Bowl Movement. Across the ball return, #1 Head-to-Head David Codding mastered Bowl Movement with his fantastic 637 despite his team notching only a single win. Sweeter Than Yoohoo leaps 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Bowl Movement plunges 2 spots to 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Split Happens tussled with Guttersluts. Blessed by Ryan Doll with his astounding 510 series, Split Happens collected 3 wins against Guttersluts. On the adjacent lane, Travis Kleiner showed off in Guttersluts with his above-average 403 despite his team notching only a single win. Split Happens leap 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while Guttersluts remain in 8th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Tatonka accepted a challenge by Bora Bora. With top billing by #1 Power-Ranked Andy McLeod and his breathtaking 537 series, Tatonka split the series with Bora Bora. In the meantime, Dennis Laube took the lead in Bora Bora with his 514 as they matched their opponent in wins. Tatonka remains in 7th place, while Bora Bora remains in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! traded lane malfunctions with Yo Mama. Even though highlighted by the skills of Pat Searcy with his above-average 567 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against Yo Mama. On the other side, Andy Metzler called the shots for Yo Mama with his 521 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Jason Caton) as his team took the series with 3 wins. I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! remains in 1st place, while Yo Mama remains in 6th.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Michael Basham got the better of Division 1, while David Codding won Division 2. Tim Segraves trounced Division 3, and Andrea Wilson had her way with Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Jason Carpio (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: Michael Basham reigns over Division 1; David Codding calls the shots for Division 2; Tim Segraves leads Division 3; and Ryan Doll and Andrea Wilson run the show in Division 4 in a tie.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 6th-place Yo Mama will meet with 7th-place Tatonka (hcp 1). Yo Mama is expected to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Tatonka is forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 5th-place Bora Bora (hcp 84) will test their mettle against 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka!. Bora Bora might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt ought to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 3rd-place Split Happens (hcp 188) will roll against 4th-place Bowl Movement. Split Happens will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bowl Movement will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 8th-place Guttersluts (hcp 237) will throw some gutter balls with 2nd-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Guttersluts are predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Yoohoo is anticipated to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
