In this thirteenth week of Fall 2019, one bowler set a new personal best series and game. Movement in the standings was limited to a flip-flop of the two teams in the middle. Performance-wise, Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (176) and series (448) for the women, while Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (239) and series (641) for the men.

Each season at this time we like to remind everyone of important dates coming up. All fees for the season are due on November 26, two weeks from now. (Clinching of the championship could happen as early as that same week.) Have need of a sub? This upcoming week is the last week subs may be used without restrictions. Right now only Mary Clarke is eligible to sub after Nov 19, and that's only if she subs on Nov 19.

Up on lanes 3 & 4, what at first seemed like it would be a lopsided matchup between See you next Tuesday!and Bowl Movements turned out to be nothing of the sort. Moves were made by Jonathan Vigliaturo with his above-average 583 series, but were countered by #1 Power-Ranked Conor Clarke and his straight-up ludicrous 603 series. Pretty much a wash, the two teams split the series and See you next Tuesday! remains in 1st place, while Movements remain in 8th.

In the only matchup resulting in a standings change, on lanes 5 & 6 The James Tott Center for Kids Who Can't Bowl Good and Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Too had a rendezvous with BDE. Marginally led by AJ Hofmann with his below-average 425 series, James Tott School for B's got swept by BDE. Pretty much it was Jeremy Cline with his 534 series (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Alison Radke) who led the charge as they swept the competition. Even as the School for B's drops 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, BDE moves up 1 spot to 4th.

As we move along to lanes 7&8, the lone attending non-ghost member of Scared Splitless managed to fight back a little against the imposting titans of Pin Is King 2.
Curtis Whiles may have had a below-average 435 series, but it was enough to salvage 1 win for Splitness against the Kings. Hurling his ball down the lane, Matthew Taylor with his 557 series took charge of Kings as his team took the match with 3 wins. Thusly, Scared Splitless remains in 7th place, while Kings remain in 2nd.

Running down to 9 & 10 brings us the most surprising result of the night, with the face-off between Rear Admirals and C.I.C.K. Ass 2. Unexpecting the combined efforts of Scott Murdock with his 497 series, with props to #1 Head-to-Head bowler Jared Nuhn, CICK found themselves losing three in what should have been an easy night. Meanwhile, Ken M. Wilson with his better-than-normal 641 series propped up CICK despite his team notching only a single win. Practically nothing changed, though, as Rear Admirals remains in 6th place, while CICK remains in 3rd.

Bowlers in, peachy & meant for inclusion in The 200 Club, include: Carl Goetz (210), Conor Clarke (227,226), Ian Goetz (227), Jonathan Vigliaturo (233), Ken M. Wilson (215,239), Matthew Taylor (206), Nick Kinney (209), and Seth Gunderson (213)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Conor Clarke (227, previous best 214). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Conor Clarke (603, previous best 591).

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson made quick work of Division 1, while Dennis Walling had his way with Division 2. JoAnne Barber dominated Division 3, and Jared Nuhn swept Division 4. In terms of overall points: Michael Gordon runs the show in Division 1; Scott Murdock governs Division 2; Conor Clarke leads Division 3; and Jared Nuhn calls the shots for Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 3&4, 7th-place Scared Splitless (estimated hcp 209) will test their mettle against 3rd-place C.I.C.K. Ass 2. Splitless are expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while CICK is forecast to drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
• Moving to lanes 5&6, 2nd-place Pin Is King 2 will socialize with 6th-place Rear Admirals (hcp 128). Kings might roll a little low, yet still manage to sweep the series; while Admirals ought to drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
• Then, over on lanes 7&8, 8th-place Bowl Movements (hcp 29) will tussle with 5th-place The James Tott Center for Kids Who Can't Bowl Good and Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Too. Movements will likely maintain their current strength as they win the series; while James Tott School for B's will probably drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
• Finally, on lanes 9&10, 4th-place BDE (hcp 95) will throw some gutter balls with 1st-place See you next Tuesday!. BDE is predicted to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Next Tuesday is anticipated to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.

FROM THE GUTTER (GUTTER QUOTE) "Maybe you should ask your wife how much difference two inches makes." The bartender at Velo Garage, just before bowling, overhearing Scoot gripe about his difficulty finding jeans with a 33-inch inseam since 32s are too short and 34s are too long.
