Tuesday night was an historic night in GutterAlley as, combined, the league put up a pretty big overall average of 168 for Week #3. Tentatively, five teams have moved around in the league standings but last season's champs refuse to relinquish their icy grasp on first place despite only two games separating the top four teams. The Tournament of Champions seeding is now complete and that will kick off within next week's action. For a breakdown of what all went on, just keep on reading...The results of the matchup between Split It & Hit It and Pin and Tonics cannot be tallied just yet as one team still needs to post-bowl. We will update the site once they have done so. [Update: Split It forfeit, and Tonics lost all 4 anyway.]With Bill Krejci opting out of this season after having missed the first two weeks, Dixie Stampede replaced him with long-time league roller Jason Carpio in an attempt to make another run at a title. Unfortunately for them they ran into My Three Sons. With Seth Gunderson's 561 series leading the way, The Sons corralled Dixie for the majority of the night to come away with a 3-1 matchup victory and remaining in 1st place. Carpio, making his triumphant return with a team leading 576 series in his debut, led the way for Dixie in the losing effort and tentatively remain in 7th place.What a night for 921+'s ringer Brian Coe. Putting up 9th highest series in league history with his 726, Coe not only led his team to a 4-0 sweep of opponents Ballz Out but also was the biggest factor in the team setting the best 4-man team series since the start of the league back in 1999. Needless to say, Coe also tentatively netted both #1 Power Ranked bowler and Most Valuable Bowler honors with his performance. Chadwick Andrews' 502 series was the tops for the Ballz but it simply couldn't derail the Coe Express. 921+ moves up one spot into 2nd while Ballz Out tentatively drops one spot down into 6th place.Down on lanes 47 & 48, The Finger Holes nearly blanked opponents More Beer, Chelsea in their matchup but ended up 3-1 after a late rally by the opposition. With Aubrey Moren and his 555 series leading the way, The F-Holes secured Games #1 and #2 before a surge by More Beer, Chelsea led by – brace yourself – Scott Murdock's team leading 478 series managed to take Game #3. With the victories, The Finger Holes tentatively climb one spot into 3rd while More Beer spills two spots.The Tournament of Champions seeding is ALMOST complete...but won't be officially tallied until the post-bowling scores are in. Sorry, gang!Bowlers discussing why Carpio wanted Scoot to hump him this week in The 200 Club include: Aubrey Moren (217), Brian Coe (257, 235, 234), Carl Goetz (202), Ian Goetz (205, 200), Jason Carpio (223), John Boren (213, 206), Ken M.
