The thirteenth week of Fall 2005 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (177) and series (502) for the women, while John Richardson earned this week's high game (226) and series (644) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Tatonka spent some quality time with Harry Potter and the Magic Balls. Topped by Will Jeter with his 446 series, Tatonka collected 3 wins against Harry Potter. On the flipside, Andy Metzler drew the spotlight in Harry Potter with his above-average 511 despite his team notching only a single win. Tatonka remains in 1st place, while Harry Potter remains in 7th.
On lanes 23 & 24: The Big LeBowlskies traded lane malfunctions with Three Men and a Babe. Though featuring Dennis Laube with his above-average 559 series, The Big LeBowlskies accomplished only 1 win against Three Men and a Babe. Countering this, Ken M. Wilson oversaw Three Men and a Babe with his 562 as his team took the series with 3 wins. The Big LeBowlskies drop 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Three Men and a Babe moves 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Bora Bora! alternated splits with Derka, Derka. Showcasing trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) John Richardson and his awe-inspiring 644 series, Bora Bora! collected 3 wins against Derka, Derka. In the meantime, Rich DeYoung called the shots for Derka, Derka with his 508 despite his team notching only a single win. Bora Bora! remains in 2nd place, while Derka, Derka remains in 4th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Munson'd had a rendezvous with Same Belt, New Notch. With Munson'd forfeiting, all the Belt needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. Mission accomplished. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, Carl Goetz guided the Belt with his 556 as they swept the competition. Munson'd remains in 8th place, while the Belt remains in 3rd.
Bowlers getting the VIP treatment in The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (214), John Richardson (226,226), Ken M. Wilson (214), and Seth Gunderson (221)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Ken M. Wilson came closest), while Seth Gunderson conquered Division 2. Tracy Rychlewski cleaned up Division 3, and John Richardson shut down Division 4. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson is in the driver's seat in Division 1; Seth Gunderson governs Division 2; Phil Schroeder reigns over Division 3; and John Richardson calls the shots Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 2nd-place Bora Bora! (hcp 93) will face 3rd-place Same Belt, New Notch. Bora Bora! is expected to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt is forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 4th-place Derka, Derka will spend some quality time with 8th-place Munson'd (hcp 92). Derka, Derka might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Munson'd ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Harry Potter and the Magic Balls (hcp 48) will compete against 6th-place The Big LeBowlskies. Harry Potter will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while The Big LeBowlskies will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 5th-place Three Men and a Babe will share a couple of pitchers with 1st-place Tatonka (hcp 107). Three Men and a Babe is predicted to maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Tatonka is anticipated to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
