While Mustache Cash Stash technically remains in first place by total pins, there are three teams tied for first place and a total of 5 teams that are within a game of first place. To have so many teams so close together at the top of the standings by week 6 is absolutely unprecedented in the history of our league. No, that's not hyperbole, I went through the week 6 standings of every past season and there has never been such a massive tie before by this point in the season.
Due to last night's server crash that delayed the updating the web site, we're going to go with the computer-generated writeup for the remainder of this post. At least that should mean fewer typos!
First up, on lanes 1 & 2: Mustache Cash Stash did battle with Roll, Drink, Repeat. Led by Michael Mead and his 521 series, Mustache Cash Stash split the series with Roll, Drink, Repeat. Meanwhile, led by Sean Miller and his 476 series, Roll, Drink, Repeat ended in a stalemate. Mustache Cash Stash remains in 1st place, while Roll, Drink, Repeat remains in 10th.

Led by Most Valuable Bowler Dennis Laube and his 512 series, Holy Sandbaggers, Batman! secured 3 wins against NotContra.

JG's Rusty Nuts remains in 9th place, while Less Terra Bowl remains in 5th.
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 1 as it was a complete embarassment, while Sean Miller triumphed over his enemies in Division 2. Alison Radke crushed Division 3, and Jeremy Varnell whipped Division 4. Finally, Phil Schroeder (Division 2) vanquished this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Aaron Barber governs Division 1; AJ Hofmann holds the reins in Division 2; Freda Schroeder calls the shots for Division 3; and Conrad Bonney tops Division 4.
Bowlers entering The 200 Club include: Aaron Barber (224) and Michael Mead (222)
