The tweltfh week of Fall 2006 saw two teams climb in the standings, while four teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series. Angela Bradford landed this week's high game for the women with a 164, and women's high series was bagged by Deena Slinkard with a 419. As for the men, Thomas Lin earned this week's high game (226) and series (610). Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: TBD hung out with New Balls, Old Rack. Showcasing David Parre with his above-average 494 series, TBD collected 3 wins against the Old Rack. While that was going down, Ken M. Wilson ruled the Old Rack with his 545 despite his team notching only a single win. TBD remains in 8th place, while the Old Rack sinks 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 17 & 18: All Belts Are Off spent a romantic evening with Bowlkake2. Regardless of the star power of Seth Gunderson with his 474 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against Bowlkake2. Across the ball return, #1 Head-to-Head Thomas Lin mastered Bowlkake2 with his commanding 610 as his team took the series with 3 wins. All Belts Are Off drops 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, while Bowlkake2 jumps 2 spots to 4th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Hez-Bowl-lah kept stealing sips of beer from Manute Bowl. Blessed by Most Valuable Bowler Nik Domann and his remarkable 518 series, Hez-Bowl-lah celebrated a clean sweep over Manute Bowl. As for the opposition, Nick Crofoot guided Manute Bowl with his 404 despite his team getting swept. Hez-Bowl-lah leaps 2 spots in the standings to 1st place, while Manute Bowl sinks 1 spot to 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter kept grabbing the balls of Guttersluts. Although topped by Ryan Doll with his 509 series, Not Gutter got swept by the Guttersluts. On the flipside, John Boren drew the spotlight in the Guttersluts with his wondrous 599 as they swept the competition. I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter remains in 9th place, while the Guttersluts remain in 10th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Split Happens tussled with Frickin' Ten Pins. In spite of top-billing by Nick Allegri with his 497 series, Split Happens accomplished only 1 win against Frickin' Ten Pins. On the other side, Carl Goetz oversaw Frickin' Ten Pins with his above-average 565 (with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Phil Schroeder) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Split Happens drop 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Frickin' Ten Pins remain in 7th.
Bowlers paying far too much for well vodka at The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (211), John Boren (225,215), John Richardson (203), Ken M. Wilson (212), Phil Schroeder (204), and Thomas Lin (226)
New personal best series were rolled tonight by Kris Hiestand (450, previous best 404) and Phil Schroeder (532, previous best 526).
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Carl Goetz came closest), while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though Seth Gunderson came closest). Phil Schroeder decimated Division 3, and Greg Middleton crushed 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: Stefan Miller leads Division 1; Ryan Doll and Rich DeYoung reign over Division 2 in a tie; Phil Schroeder dominates Division 3; and Andy McLeod runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 4th-place Bowlkake2 will challenge 9th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 97). Bowlkake2 is expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Not Gutter is forecast to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 6th-place Manute Bowl (hcp 3) will test their mettle against 8th-place TBD. Manute Bowl might perform well and win the series; while TBD ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 7th-place Frickin' Ten Pins (hcp 40) will tussle with 5th-place All Belts Are Off. Frickin' Ten Pins will likely roll decently, but split the series with the Belt; while the Belt will probably raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 3rd-place New Balls, Old Rack will roll against 2nd-place Split Happens (hcp 65). The Old Rack might maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Split Happens ought to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 134) will compete against 1st-place Hez-Bowl-lah. The Guttersluts are predicted to perform well, yet still manage to get swept; while Hez-Bowl-lah is anticipated to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
