Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions also kicked off tonight, beginning of 13 weeks of one-on-one bowling excitement! Read on for all the rest of the details!

NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 4th-place Hulk Smash! (hcp 35) will spend some quality time with 2nd-place D-Day. The Hulk is expected to roll a little low and get swept; while D-Day is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 7th-place Canned Crabs will compete against 5th-place The Good Sons (hcp 15). The Crabs might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Sons ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 6th-place When Push Comes To Shove will battle 3rd-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction (hcp 43). The Shovers will likely tank their averages considerably as they get swept; while Mass Destruction will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
