Congratulations to our division champions! The following eight people will compete next week for the big prize!

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Hez-Bowl-lah (hcp 15) will hang out with 2nd-place Bowlkake2. Hez-Bowl-lah is expected to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Bowlkake2 is forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
• Moving to lanes 17&18, 3rd-place Split Happens (hcp 63) will challenge 4th-place New Balls, Old Rack. Split Happens might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Old Rack ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
• Then, over on lanes 19&20, 5th-place All Belts Are Off will throw some gutter balls with 6th-place Frickin' Ten Pins (hcp 38). The Belt will likely roll decently, but split the series with Frickin' Ten Pins; while Frickin' Ten Pins will probably raise their average while they keep the series tied.
• Next up, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place TBD will share a couple of pitchers with 8th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 25). TBD might perform well and win the series; while Not Gutter ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
• Finally, on lanes 23&24, 9th-place Manute Bowl will compete against 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 71). Manute Bowl is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Guttersluts are anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
