Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Frickin' Ten Pins entered a showdown to the death with Bowlkake2. Blessed by Carl Goetz with his above-average 536 series, Frickin' Ten Pins split the series with Bowlkake2. In the midst of this, Dennis Laube reigned supreme in Bowlkake2 with his 479 as they matched their opponent in wins. Frickin' Ten Pins plummet 2 spots in the standings to 9th place, while Bowlkake2 plunges 2 spots to 8th.

On lanes 17 & 18: All Belts Are Off tussled with Split Happens. In spite of the prowess of David Codding with his below-average 539 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against Split Happens. Concurrently, Most Valuable Bowler James Long called the shots for Split Happens with his miraculous 537 as his team took the series with 3 wins. All Belts Are Off remains in 3rd place, while Split Happens remain in 2nd.

On lanes 19 & 20: Manute Bowl waged a heated competition against Guttersluts. Led by Travis Kleiner with his stunning 420 series, Manute Bowl collected 3 wins against the Guttersluts. Across the ball return, Erin deVries drew the spotlight in the Guttersluts with her 327 despite her team notching only a single win. Manute Bowl leaps 2 spots in the standings to 7th place, while the Guttersluts remain in 10th.

On lanes 21 & 22: TBD couldn't stop inappropriately groping I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter. Featuring David Parre with his above-average 511 series, TBD collected 3 wins against Not Gutter. While that was going down, Ryan Doll dominated Not Gutter with his below-average 423 despite his team notching only a single win. TBD leaps 3 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Not Gutter sinks 1 spot to 6th.

Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: New Balls, Old Rack sparred with Hez-Bowl-lah. Showcasing Ken M. Wilson with his above-average 600 series, with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler James Long, the Old Rack celebrated a clean sweep over Hez-Bowl-lah. Simultaneously, Pete Forster ruled Hez-Bowl-lah with his 608 despite his team getting swept. New Balls, Old Rack remains in 1st place, while Hez-Bowl-lah remains in 4th.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson trounced Division 1, while Freda Schroeder swept Division 2. David Parre conquered Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Nick Crofoot came closest). Finally, Travis Kleiner (Division 4) creamed this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson leads Division 1; Rich DeYoung reigns over Division 2; David Parre and Phil Schroeder run the show in Division 3 in a tie; and Andy McLeod governs Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 15&16, 5th-place TBD (hcp 108) will challenge 3rd-place All Belts Are Off. TBD is expected to perform well, but split the series with the Belt; while the Belt is forecast to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
• Moving to lanes 17&18, 7th-place Manute Bowl will tussle with 6th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 6). Manute Bowl might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Not Gutter ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
• Then, over on lanes 19&20, 1st-place New Balls, Old Rack will meet with 9th-place Frickin' Ten Pins (hcp 34). The Old Rack will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Frickin' Ten Pins will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
• Next up, on lanes 21&22, 2nd-place Split Happens (hcp 32) will battle 4th-place Hez-Bowl-lah. Split Happens might perform well and win the series; while Hez-Bowl-lah ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
• Finally, on lanes 23&24, 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 152) will match wits with 8th-place Bowlkake2. The Guttersluts are predicted to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bowlkake2 is anticipated to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
