Bowlers paying far too much for well vodka at The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (211) and David Codding (201,201,237)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: David Codding creamed Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 2 as it was a complete embarassment. Mark Belles decimated Division 3, and Andrea DeLong whipped Division 4. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson dominates Division 1; Seth Gunderson governs Division 2; Phil Schroeder is in the driver's seat in Division 3; and Andrea DeLong runs the show in Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 21&22, 6th-place Bora Bora! will socialize with 8th-place Munson'd (hcp 16). Bora Bora! is expected to perform well, but split the series with Munson'd; while Munson'd is forecast to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
• Moving to lanes 23&24, 4th-place Derka, Derka (hcp 39) will challenge 2nd-place Same Belt, New Notch. Derka, Derka might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
• Then, over on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Harry Potter and the Magic Balls (hcp 88) will chill with 5th-place Three Men and a Babe. Harry Potter will likely have a bit of an off night and get swept; while Three Men and a Babe will probably drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
• Finally, on lanes 27&28, 1st-place Tatonka (hcp 76) will battle 3rd-place The Big LeBowlskies. Tatonka is predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while The Big LeBowlskies are anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
