The fourth week of Fall 2007 saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Jennifer Seefeldt picked up this week's high game (194) and series (523) for the women, while Don Glasscock earned this week's high game (238) and series (648) for the men. 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!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Your Mom kept grabbing the balls of Seefeldt the Glasscock. Despite the strength of Ryan Doll with his 545 series, Your Mom accomplished only 1 win against the Glasscock. Concurrently, Don Glasscock commanded the Glasscock with his 648 (with props to #1 Head-to-Head bowler ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Your Mom remains in 8th place, while the Glasscock remains in 1st.
On lanes 21 & 22: Sh!t, I Don't Know chucked gutter balls with Bad Newz Kennels. Highlighting the skills of Cory Chorpenning, Duncan Ferber with their 574 series, I Don't Know split the series with the Kennels. Simultaneously, Carl Goetz took the lead in the Kennels with his above-average 596 as they matched their opponent in wins. Sh!t, I Don't Know leaps 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Kennels remain in 2nd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Cannonbelt Run shared a few beers with The GameCox. Reinforced by #1 Power-Ranked Seth Gunderson and his astounding 537 series, Cannonbelt celebrated a clean sweep over the GameCox. As for the opposition, Jason Carpio laid down the law in the GameCox with his below-average 438 despite his team getting swept. Cannonbelt Run leaps 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while the GameCox sinks 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Split Happens couldn't stop inappropriately groping Ebowla. Notwithstanding the leadership of Nick Allegri with his below-average 451 series, Split Happens got swept by Ebowla. Countering this, Most Valuable Bowler Travis Kleiner reigned supreme in Ebowla with his dramatic 455 as they swept the competition. Split Happens drop 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Ebowla moves 1 spot to 9th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Dios Mios did battle with Seriously Handicapped. Led by Steve Kiernan with his below-average 488 series, Dios Mios celebrated a clean sweep over the Handicapped. Conversely, Tyler Hilker ruled the Handicapped with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 395 despite his team getting swept. Dios Mios remains in 3rd place, while the Handicapped sinks 1 spot to 10th.
Bowlers paying far too much for well vodka at The 200 Club include: Brian Eye (220), Carl Goetz (214,201), Cory Chorpenning (215), David Parre (217), Don Glasscock (238,230), Duncan Ferber (202), Ryan Doll (207), and Seth Gunderson (212)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Duncan Ferber spanked Division 1, while Nik Domann conquered Division 2. Jennifer Seefeldt swept Division 3, and Travis Kleiner clobbered Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Don Glasscock and Phil Schroeder (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: Duncan Ferber leads Division 1; Nik Domann calls the shots for Division 2; Jennifer Seefeldt dominates Division 3; and Travis Kleiner governs Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 3rd-place Dios Mios will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place The GameCox (hcp 22). Dios Mios are expected to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the GameCox is forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 9th-place Ebowla (hcp 4) will roll against 10th-place Seriously Handicapped. Ebowla might perform well and sweep the series; while the Handicapped ought to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 7th-place Split Happens (hcp 75) will face 2nd-place Bad Newz Kennels. Split Happens will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Kennels will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 4th-place Cannonbelt Run (hcp 109) will share a couple of pitchers with 1st-place Seefeldt the Glasscock. Cannonbelt might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Glasscock ought to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 6th-place Sh!t, I Don't Know will chuck some balls with 8th-place Your Mom (hcp 114). I Don't Know is predicted to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Your Mom is anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
*(Remember, the predicted results above are based on mathematical extrapolations and can be changed by all sorts of factors. If you don't like how your team's results are predicted, you and your teammates have the power to prove the math wrong!)
