Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Jerry Krall came closest), and Orion Kinkaid rolled his ass to the top of Division 4.

- Moving to lanes 21&22, 7th-place BOWLSH!T will chill with 6th-place WWJB (hcp 11). BOWLSH!T might perform well and win the series; while WWJB ought to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
