- Moving to lanes 19&20, 6th-place D-Day will spend some quality time with 4th-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction (hcp 24). D-Day might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Mass Destruction ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 5th-place Hulk Smash! (hcp 100) will face 1st-place When Push Comes To Shove. The Hulk will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while the Shovers will probably see their team average take a dive while they endure a rough night.
