Thank you very much Monica, AJ, members of the league, and Freda, the First Lady of the league. And my fellow bowlers. We meet tonight at a moment of unlimited potential, as we prepare to begin a new Tournament of Champions, I stand here ready to roll with you and pick up difficult splits. Dozens of our fellow citizens are watching us, gathered in this bowling alley, hoping we will roll not as eleven teams, but as one league.

I would like to begin by acknowledging the great work of BDE. They are unable to join us this evening, as they have been directed to attend to the mounting crisis at our southern border along Lane 12, where a caravan of invaders from Wabash and Tuesday Early are expected to arrive any week now. Because of the importance of their mission, they will be bowling later in the week. I shall tweet out a report on the matchup between BDE and Extreme Outliers when the scores come in. It is for this reason that so many results are tintative. I will provide KFCs and hamberders and Pizza Huts to the eventual winner.

On lanes 3 & 4: We have accomplished a fantastic deal with oppressive regime of Pin Is King through meetings with our top foreign strategy team, Scoot's Raging Bone Spur. He is such a great leader, that Michael Gordon, much like me with his 577 series. But faced with the threat of my new ambassador, Scott Murdock and his 480 series, my Bone Spurs matched the King evenly and we saw eye to eye and split the series. Pin Is King tetanusly remains in 5th place, while Bone Spurs tentacly remain in 4th.

On lanes 5 & 6: My very favotite of teams, simply the best and the brightest, the true bowlers who share the best values and are the shining example of hardworking folk — #MGAGA — were mercilesly heckled and jeered by protesters who Just Don't Give a Split. Uniting behind the leadership of Jonathan Vigliaturo with his historic 586,000,000 series, the Hashtags covfefed 3 wins against a team that has so far only had two bowlers each week, always in a different combinaton. Phil Schroeder with his 490 series was the Liberal leading the Splits, but only got a single win. #MGAGA remains in 1st place thanks to all I have done for them, while Split Not Given remains in 6th.

On lanes 7 & 8, Bowl Movements benefited from my great program that delivers blind people to one team every week for them to have someone they can bowl better than. Featuring tentative #1 Head-to-Head and Most Valuable Bowler Joe Meyer and his death-defying 464 series, Movements achieved a clean sweep over the Blind Team. Bowl Movements climb 1 spot in the standings to 8th place (tenetively), while the Blind Team remains in 12th for ever and ever amen.

On lanes 9 & 10: A product I absolutely do not need to use for my doctor tells me I am in perfect virile health, The Pin Is Mightier was put to use by JoAnne's Dirty PJs. Emboldened by Curtis Whiles with his above-average 557 series, the Mightiers collected 3 wins against Dirty PJs. Simultaneously, Jeremy Varnell with his 454 series inspired Dirty PJs despite his team notching only a single win. The Pin Is Mightier tenatively remains in 10th place, while Dirty PJs tenavitally sink 1 spot to 9th.

Finally, down on lanes 11 & 12: I have directed my new head guy in the Department of Commerce, a great guy who has done excellent work, to provide support to re-open key Open Frames R Us locations after they were shut down by the unfair monopoly CICK Ass. Your know, Open Frames R Us was led by Monica Hufford, a wonderful woman with a 475 series. But the liberal billionaire and tentative #1 Power-Ranked Carl Bezos and his failing fake news Wahingbowl Post (with only 629 readers a 629 series) crushed the spirits and dreams of these important entreprendoers. Open Frames R Us tentativelky remains in 7th place, while CICK Ass tintatively climbs 1 spot to 2nd.

We must keep bowling alive in our souls. And we must always keep faith in our league’s destiny — that our 11 teams, under AMF, must be the hope and the promise and the light and the glory among all the leagues of the bowling alley! Thank you. Scoot bless you, and AJ bless your payment envelopes. Thank you very much

Bowlers invited to join me at Mar-a-Largo The 200 Club include: Aaron Barber (239), Carl Goetz (255), Curtis Whiles (235), Dennis Walling (216), Ian Goetz (233), Jeremy Cline (206), Jonathan Vigliaturo (200,209), Ken M. Wilson (227), Michael Gordon (203), Nick Kinney (200), and Russell Bingham (208)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Curtis Whiles (235, previous best 225).

Monica Hufford claimed the season's women's high series with her 475. In addition, Carl Goetz nabbed both high game and series for the men this season with his 255 and 629, respectively.

The Tournament of Champions begins next week. Here are the final division assignments for this season:

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 1&2, 2nd-place CICK Ass will share a couple of pitchers with 12th-place Ray & Stevie (forfeit). CICK Ass are expected to drop their averages like a brick as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Blind Team is forecast to just sit in motionless silence.
• Moving to lanes 3&4, 8th-place Bowl Movements will meet with 10th-place The Pin Is Mightier (hcp 41). Movements might roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while Mightiers ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
• Then, over on lanes 5&6, 11th-place Extreme Outliers (hcp 403) will test their mettle against 9th-place JoAnne's Dirty PJs. Outliers will likely tank their averages considerably as they get swept; while Dirty PJs will probably drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
• Next up, on lanes 7&8, 4th-place Scoot's Raging Bone Spur (hcp 44) will socialize with 6th-place We Don't Give a Split. Bone Spurs might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Split Not Given; while Split Not Given ought to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
• Moving to lanes 9&10, 1st-place #MGAGA will chill with 7th-place Open Frames R Us (hcp 149). Hashtags will likely perform well and sweep the series; while Open Frames will probably drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
• Finally, on lanes 11&12, 5th-place Pin Is King will hang out with 3rd-place BDE (hcp 580). PinIs Kings are predicted to have a bit of an off night, yet still manage to sweep the series; while BDE is anticipated to see their team average take a dive while they endure a rough night.

^*(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!)
