With four weeks now under the league's belt, two teams have jumped off to very impressive starts having amassed win records of 14-2. Right behind them are two other teams sitting at 10-6. The fun truly begins now, though, as all four of these teams are scheduled to face off against one another next week. But, for now, let's see how Week #4 played out and how these teams got to where they are in the standings.After dropping two games last week by single digits, Mark It Zero struck back to log the lone sweep of the evening against opponents Twerking Balls. With a roller coaster performance from anchor Ken M. Wilson and his 611 leading the team, Zero narrowly survived Game #1 before riding fairly smoothly to wins the rest of the way out. Lead off roller Jake Parrott put up the highest numbers for the Twerkers, ending his night with a 382. Mark It Zero improves to 10-6 and takes over 3rd place due to total pins while Twerking Balls extends their losing streak to 13 games and remains in 8th place.Let's face it...Hall of Famer Bob Brunker is in the midst of his best season ever and Schwetty Balls is benefitting greatly from it. After extending their win streak to 12 games with a victory in Game #1, their bid to go any further was roundly rejected in Game #2 by a perfectly timed UpgrayeDD team output. Despite a 403 series from lead off roller Bryan Bay, Up couldn't maintain their momentum and narrowly dropped Game #3. Total pins, and the matchup, went to Schwetty Balls who now sit in 2nd with a record of 14-2. UpgrayeDD slip one spot down into 6th place at 5-11.The men of Bowltron are a study in teamwork and how to get things done. Facing off against rivals The Finger Holes, 'tron got off to an early set back as F-Hole Phil Schroeder put up a team best 531 series to win the initial contest by 20 pins. From that point onward, however, the reigning champs took over with a 571 series from anchor Ryan Doll alongside this week's Most Valuable Bowler performance from lead off Bryan Mohr to win the series 3-1 as they fought tooth and nail to achieve a winning record. At 6-10 on the season, Bowltron hops one spot up to 5th while The Fingers Holes – now with a record of 10-6 – drop into 4th due to total pins. Another Hall of Famer in the midst of their career best season is none other than Pinterest's own Seth Gunderson. Earning #1 Power Ranked bowler accolades with his 590 series, Seth reversed his team's fortunes after a big Game #1 loss to opponents Split It & Hit It to come out the big winners in the end at 3-1 to keep his team sitting atop the league standings via total pins with their 14-2 record. Substitute bowler Todd Way put up his career high game (194) inside his 480 series to lead Split It in the losing effort and remains in 6th place with a record of 4-12. The initial week of the Tournament of Champions is off and running with our first batch of results:Division 1: Seth Gunderson (6), Bob Brunker (3)Division 2: Phil Schroeder (6), Anita Osthoff (3)Division 3: Josh Robison (6), Matt Bunyard (3)Division 4: Michael Gordon (6), Steve Kohlmeyer (3)Bowlers buying a round to celebrate The Finger Holes finishing before other teams tonight inside The 200 Club include: Bob Brunker (211), Ken M.

"I'll win the good sportsmanship award over that asshole Brunker this season but it's going to be hard with Murdock dissing me like that."
