Tonight, on our last real night of bowling, we were joined by several new people that had never rolled in our league all season. It was the strangest thing, though... none of them were ever seen at the same time as Amber, Michelle S., Angela, Bob, Kody, or John Boren. Very! weird!
Anyway, with the championship already decided last week, we're just going to fly with the mostly computer-generated version of the lane-by-lane portion of the recap so we can hurry and get to the part you all really care about -- cash prizes!
But, before we get to that, please remember to VOTE for your end-of-season favorites! This is your chance to give some recognition to your fellow bowlers. But, in addition to that, we have an important poll question about next season! So please, log in and vote!
First, the teams that ended the season with winning records...
On lanes 41 & 42: Fallop Ian took turns kicking the ball return with Bowies In Space. Led by Carl Goetz and his 587 series, Fallop Ian got swept by Bowies In Space. But who cares? They're the champs anyway! Let the Bowies have their little moment. Meanwhile, led by Michael Gordon & Aaron Barber with their combined tied 588 series, Bowies In Space secured a clean sweep. Fallop Ian remains in 1st place, while Bowies In Space remains in 2nd.
Party on, Garth
And now for the teams that ended the season with some not-so-winning records...
On lanes 45 & 46: Glory Bowl met with Bowlgasmic. Led by Matt O'Dell and his 436 series, Glory Bowl managed only 1 win against Bowlgasmic. Meanwhile, led by Kody Karnes and his 649 series, Bowlgasmic secured 3 wins. Glory Bowl drops 2 spots in the standings to 7th place, while Bowlgasmic moves up 1 spot to 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 47 & 48: Split It & Hit It sat down for crumpets and tea with Split Sisters. Led by Dennis Blake and his 590 series, Split It & Hit It secured a clean sweep over Split Sisters. Meanwhile, led by Amber Waddle and her 403 series, Split Sisters got swept. Split It & Hit It climbs 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Split Sisters remains in 8th.
Photo taken before the outcome was known,
so they'd both still be happy.
The Tournament of Champions saw the season's top 8 winners face off for the grand prize, and in the end it came down to the last ball of the last frame of the last game to determine if the eventual winner would be Dennis "Pops" Laube or Sean Simmons. Pops pulled it off! This is Dennis's third win (counting one that was figured retroactively from a season long before the tournament was invented), and he becomes the first person to win it twice since it was instituted as an actual event with prizes. Both Pops and Sean win money next week. Congratulations, guys!
