Scoot here: I'm not feeling well today so I'm leaving this as a robo-writeup.

We will be lane-shifted again next week while two summer leagues finish their sessions. Starting week 4 we will move back to lanes 3-10.

BTW, I will not be here next week, so please report all transgressions to AJ. Jeremy Varnell has graciously volunteered to receive all humpings in my absence. (It's likely that next week's writeup will also be computer-generated.)

The second week of Fall 2019 saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (168) and series (445) for the women. As for the men, Ian Goetz snagged this week's high game with a 236, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 641. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 1 & 2: With a battle so mismatched that the outcome could trigger the apocalypse, the villainous Pin Is King 2 had a rendezvous with the precocious Bowl Movements. Demonstrating the prowess of Matthew Taylor with his below-average 546 series, Kings collected 3 wins against Movements. Meanwhile, Conor Clarke with his marvelous 485 series showed off for Movements despite his team notching only a single win. Pin Is King 2 remains in 1st place, while Movements sink 1 spot to 7th.

On lanes 3 & 4: With the narrowest of handicaps, The James Tott Center for Kids Who Can't Bowl Good and Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Too couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Rear Admirals. With top billing by AJ Hofmann with his 473 series, James Tott School for B's garnered a clean sweep over Admirals. Countering this, Scott Murdock with his bone-chilling 570 series inspired Admirals despite his team getting swept. The James Tott Center for Kids Who Can't Bowl Good and Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Too leaps 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Admirals plunge 2 spots to 6th.

On lanes 5 & 6: BDE faced off against Scared Splitless. Blessed by Jeremy Cline with his above-average 596 series, BDE collected 3 wins against Splitless. As for the opposition, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Curtis Whiles and his shocking 507 series called the shots for Splitless despite his team notching only a single win. BDE climbs 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Splitless remain in 8th.

Finally, down on lanes 7 & 8: C.I.C.K. Ass 2 cowered in sheer terror upon discovering they were rolling against See you next Tuesday!. With extra motivation generated by Carl Goetz with his above-average 641 series, CICK collected 3 wins against Next Tuesday. Across the ball return, Aaron Barber with his 556 series oversaw Next Tuesday despite his team notching only a single win. C.I.C.K. Ass 2 climbs 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Next Tuesday sinks 1 spot to 3rd.

Bowlers rolling into The 200 Club include: Aaron Barber (201), Ben Spencer (235), Carl Goetz (223,222), Conor Clarke (206), Cory Chorpenning (216,226), Ian Goetz (236), Jeremy Cline (220,213), Ken M. Wilson (223,201), and Scott Murdock (205,205)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Ben Spencer (235, previous best 214). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Jeremy Cline (596, previous best 586).

Adding to the excitement, the 641 rolled by Carl Goetz is this season's new high series for men.

The Tournament of Champions begins in 2 weeks. Here are how the divisions are shaping up so far:

BOWLING THRU TIME (Fall 2003 Edition): Detailed online tracking launches in conjunction with the start of the Tournament of Champions in week 4. But here are last night's tentative team-level results:

• Pin Is King 2 went 4-0 against Bowl me Ishmael!.
• Bowl Movements went 2-2 against Theee Beeelt.
• James Tott School for B's went 4-0 against Atomic Goo.
• Rear Admirals went 0-4 against Spare Change.
• BDE went 1-3 against Wolverines.
• Scared Splitless went 2-2 against Gutter Minds.
• C.I.C.K. Ass 2 went 4-0 against Bowlers of Mass Confusion.
• See you next Tuesday! went 2-2 against Anchors Aweigh!.

Current Bowling Thru Time Standings (tentative):

• C.I.C.K. Ass 2: 7-1
• Pin Is King 2: 7-1
• See you next Tuesday!: 5-3
• James Tott School for B's: 5-3
• Bowl Movements: 5-3
• Scared Splitless: 3-5
• BDE: 2-6
• Rear Admirals: 2-6

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 1&2, 5th-place The James Tott Center for Kids Who Can't Bowl Good and Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Too will chuck some balls with 8th-place Scared Splitless (estimated hcp 33). James Tott School for B's are expected to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Splitless are forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
• Moving to lanes 3&4, 2nd-place C.I.C.K. Ass 2 will match wits with 7th-place Bowl Movements (hcp 244). CICK might watch their averages take a plunge, but split the series with Movements; while Movements ought to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
• Then, over on lanes 5&6, 6th-place Rear Admirals (hcp 105) will socialize with 3rd-place See you next Tuesday!. Admirals will likely roll decently and sweep the series; while Next Tuesday will probably drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
• Finally, on lanes 7&8, 4th-place BDE (hcp 88) will tussle with 1st-place Pin Is King 2. BDE is predicted to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Kings are anticipated to drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.

^*(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!)
