The Spring 2026 season has officially burst out of the gates, with six brave teams embarking on a 16-week quest for the coveted, glittering, and entirely nonexistent championship trophy. Fresh oil patterns, questionable spare shooting, and wildly optimistic preseason expectations collided immediately. Individual fireworks lit up the lanes right away, as JoAnne Barber claimed both the women’s high game (131) and high series (381). On the men’s side, Seth Gunderson uncorked a scorching 214 for high game, while Matthew Taylor flexed early dominance with a league-leading 566 series. The table is set, the nerves are jangling, and the season’s storylines are already taking shape.

Welcome to the Spring 2026 bowling season! We start bowling on January 27, same location and same time as usual. You can submit roster changes until Monday, January 26 and team names until noon Tuesday, August 27. This season things are shaken up a little more than they’ve normally, as five people who bowled with us last season are not returning this time.

This season No! Not Theo! successfully defended their championship with a (41-23) record, clinching in week 15. The final ranking of every other team remained up in the air until the final frames of week 16. Overall No! Not Theo! finished as only the 117th strongest team in league history, which might not seem that great but is a huge improvement over the previous season.

The Fall 2025 season concludes with little fanfare as No! Not Theo! officially secured the championship title a week ago, delivered with the swagger of a team that has spent all season scattering pins and expectations alike. Yet even amid this victory, a strange chill hovered over the bowling alley, for as the first frames of the night were rolling, a startling discovery was made outside: Chris Lenz’s car had been broken into. A smashed window, a disturbed interior, and the unmistakable sense that someone had been where they should not have been. And whoever did it… remains unknown.

Week 15 of Fall 2025 didn’t just show up — it strutted into the bowling center like it had a reservation under a fake name and a scandal to cause. One team clawed upward in the standings like a housecat trying to reach the top shelf snacks, while another slid downward with all the grace of a drunk giraffe on a slip-n-slide. A bowler shattered a personal best series, Matthew Taylor detonated a 238 high game as part of a sizzling 600 series that made the pinsetter consider filing a workplace complaint, and towering over it all was the unstoppable juggernaut known as No! Not Theo!, who decided that winning the championship next week seemed boring and instead clinched it early, like someone finishing an exam before everyone else and loudly announcing it. Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions has narrowed to its final eight bowlers, all of whom are sharpening their skills, egos, and excuses as they prepare to battle for two cash prizes and eternal bragging rights. Strap in — the nonsense is only beginning.

The fourteenth week of Fall 2025 did not simply arrive; it thundered into the alley like a rogue turkey escaping the carving knife at a very confused family Thanksgiving. By the time the lanes cooled, one team had climbed the standings like a determined relative reaching for the last slice of pie, while another slipped down faster than gravy poured from a cracked ladle. One bowler forged a new personal-best series, two unleashed new personal high games, and the aroma of competition mixed beautifully with the imaginary scent of stuffing and victory. Cat Atwood snatched this week’s high women’s game (172) and series (407), while Matthew Taylor carved out the men’s high game (231) and series (590). What follows is the full feast of action, drama, joy, and heartbreak — so dig in, and don’t forget to check on your Bingo results!

The thirteenth week of Fall 2025 thundered onto the lanes like a runaway ball hurtling toward a trembling 7–10 split. Two teams clawed their way upward in the standings, two teams spiraled downward in heartbreak, and everyone else clung to their dignity like a bowler trying not to foul on a slick approach. JoAnne Barber unleashed a blistering 143 to seize this week’s high game for the women, and her iron-willed consistency netted her a powerful 378 for the women’s high series. Over on the men’s side, Nick Kinney blasted a 212 to earn the week’s top men’s game, while Matthew Taylor carved through the oil with a gorgeous 570 to secure the high series for the men. Meanwhile, AJ Hofmann cemented his place in league history by winning more times than anyone else in the league’s history — proving that some legends just keep stacking titles. And that was only the beginning. What followed was drama, triumph, collapse, glory, and enough emotional turbulence to make the pins file a workplace hazard report.

One fearless competitor etched a new personal best series into history, while also reaching stratospheric heights with a career-high game.

JoAnne Barber landed this week’s high game for the women with a clutch 133, while Cat Atwood’s cool-headed consistency secured the women’s high series with a 358. On the men’s side, Nick Kinney once again proved unstoppable, rolling this week’s high game (268) and high series (698)—just two pins shy of a 700.

We are now halfway through the Fall 2025 season, and the tension is thick enough to slice with a bowling pin. Every frame counts now for those hungry for the championship.

Greetings, Bowling Generals, it is I, Pete Hegseth, your Secretary of WAR. Lean in, because Week Seven of Fall 2025… oh man, it was something else. Two teams climbing, two slipping — like strong men scaling mountains of bourbon bottles while others lose their grip and tumble. You could feel it in the air, heavy, like after a long patrol. JoAnne Barber — tough, resilient — fired off a 143 high game and a 393 series for the women. Big respect. But still, a woman. The real proving ground, it’s the men. Nick Kinney — dropped a 226, like a howitzer firing in rhythm. And Matthew Taylor — 605 series. Six-oh-five, gentlemen. That’s not bowling, that’s endurance, sinew, veins pumping, the essence of peak male performance. You gotta read this whole thing, because from here out, we’re not playing by the old rules. The league — this league — it’s war now. And yes, we’ll be making war on our own teams to train, to harden, to forge iron from iron.

I, your favorite President Donald J. Trump, am back with an important announcement about the sixth week of Fall 2025 — and folks, let me tell you, it was tremendous, absolutely tremendous. People are saying three teams, not one, not two, but THREE teams, they climbed in the standings — like my poll numbers, very high, very strong, levels never seen — while two teams, and it’s very sad, they slipped. They slipped like fake CNN’s ratings, folks, not good, not strong. And we had history, real history: one bowler — set a new personal best series, can you believe it? And a brand new personal high game, which is a beautiful thing, a big beautiful thing. JoAnne Barber — fantastic woman, very classy — she got the high game of the week (143) AND the series (370) for the women. For the men, Ian Estey, people love Ian, strong competitor, he comes in with a high game (213) and series (593). Big numbers, folks. No one has ever seen numbers like these. And some people are saying, “Oh, RFK Jr. says it’s Brian Schaben’s bowling ball polish that causes autism,” and I don’t know, maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not, other people, they have to be careful what they say, but I can say what I want. And I don’t trust Democrat-run bowling teams, and I don’t trust their ball polish either. Read on, folks, because it only gets better, and maybe — just maybe — the National Guard should be called in for excitement control.

The fifth week of Fall 2025 thundered into the alley with the force of destiny itself. One team clawed their way up the standings while another plummeted like a dropped bowling ball. Sparks flew as two bowlers etched new personal-best series into history’s ledger, and one hero claimed a brand-new personal high game. Among the women, JoAnne Barber seized the crown with a scorching 166 game and a 411 series. For the men, Nick Kinney stormed the lanes with a mighty 211, while Ian Estey’s relentless strikes earned him the top series of 557. Read on, for the pins fell, the cheers roared, and the drama was nothing short of epic!

One team clawed their way up the ladder, another slipped into despair, and one bowler etched their personal best into league lore. Sparks flew when Cat Atwood unleashed a blistering 153 to seize the women’s high game, while JoAnne Barber coolly stacked a 365 to claim women’s high series. On the men’s side, Nick Kinney erupted with a thunderous 246 high game, but the night belonged to Matthew Taylor, whose unstoppable 625 secured the men’s high series. Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions roared to life, the beginning of 13 weeks of head-to-head battles where heroes will be made and pretenders unmasked. The pins never knew what hit them — and this is only the beginning.

Because the team named for my beautiful TARIFFS has jumped into first place — the highest place, a level never before seen, I, your Favorite President Donald J. Trump, am writing this week’s recap. The third week of Fall 2025 was absolutely tremendous, folks — really historic. We saw winners rise, losers tumble, and believe me, everybody was talking about it. Two teams climbed the standings — beautiful climbing, the best kind — while two very sad, very weak teams slipped down. Cat Atwood, who is just terrific, totally dominated with this week’s high game (150) and series (391) for the women, while Aaron Barber — a tremendous bowler, by the way — delivered the men’s high game (211) and series (615). And now the Tournament of Champions divisions are set, ready for some incredible, one-on-one action beginning next week. People are calling it the best lineup in history. Read on — it only gets better!

JoAnne Barber seized the women’s spotlight with a blazing high game of 133 and a commanding series of 388, while Ben Spencer thundered to the top among the men with a ferocious 231 high game and a mighty 568 series.
