The ninth week of Fall 2003 saw two teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Andee Weinfurt picked up this week's high game (168) and series (421) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (212) and series (562) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Spare Change had some one-on-one time with Theee Beeelt. Although blessed by #1 Head-to-Head and Most Valuable Bowler Demond Robinson and his above-average 547 series, Spare Change accomplished only 1 win against Theee Beeelt. Countering this, Seth Gunderson guided Theee Beeelt with his 445 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Spare Change drops 1 spot in the standings to 8th place, while Theee Beeelt jumps 2 spots to 6th.
On lanes 17 & 18: Atomic Goo couldn't stop inappropriately groping Bowl me Ishmael!. Though reinforced by Phil Schroeder with his 390 series, Atomic Goo got swept by Ishmael. In the midst of this, Pat O'Reily showed off in Ishmael with his 469 (with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Michael Basham) as they swept the competition. Atomic Goo drops 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Ishmael moves 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 19 & 20: Bowlers of Mass Confusion accepted a challenge by Wolverines. Showcasing Jason Carpio with his 490 series, Mass Confusion collected 3 wins against the Wolverines. On the other half of the score sheet, Thomas Lin called the shots for the Wolverines with his 496 despite his team notching only a single win. Bowlers of Mass Confusion remains in 2nd place, while the Wolverines remain in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 21 & 22: Anchors Aweigh! kept stealing sips of beer from Gutter Minds. Headlined by Carl Goetz with his 562 series, the Anchors collected 3 wins against Gutter Minds. On the other side, Pat Searcy took the lead in Gutter Minds with his 535 despite his team notching only a single win. Anchors Aweigh! remains in 1st place, while Gutter Minds sink 1 spot to 7th.
Bowlers who lied to their significant other claiming bowling was running long then went out for after-bowling drinks at The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (212) and Pat Searcy (203)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Demond Robinson had his way with Division 1, while Corey Weinfurt clobbered Division 2. Jim Jones creamed Division 3, and Paul Linder eradicated Division 4. In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz reigns over Division 1; Corey Weinfurt leads Division 2; Seth Gunderson holds the reins in Division 3; and Ginger O'Reilly tops Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 7th-place Gutter Minds will challenge 5th-place Wolverines (hcp 56). Gutter Minds are expected to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Wolverines are forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 1st-place Anchors Aweigh! will chill with 2nd-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion (hcp 67). The Anchors might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Mass Confusion ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 8th-place Spare Change will spend some quality time with 4th-place Atomic Goo (estimated hcp 66). Spare Change will likely maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Atomic Goo will probably hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Finally, on lanes 21&22, 6th-place Theee Beeelt will chuck some balls with 3rd-place Bowl me Ishmael! (hcp 68). Theee Beeelt is predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Ishmael is anticipated to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
