The fourth week of Spring 2003 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Janelle (Laube) Lamar picked up this week's high game (191) and series (450) for the women, while Eric Lynch earned this week's high game (226) and series (629) for the men. Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions also kicked off tonight, beginning of 13 weeks of one-on-one bowling excitement! Read on for all the rest of the details!

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Bob Brunker conquered Division 1, while Eric Lynch decimated Division 2. Phil Schroeder triumphed over his enemies in Division 3, and Tracey Robertson made quick work of Division 4. In terms of overall points: Bob Brunker dominates Division 1; Eric Lynch runs the show in Division 2; Phil Schroeder reigns over Division 3; and Tracey Robertson governs Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 4th-place Hulk Smash! (hcp 35) will tussle with 2nd-place D-Day. The Hulk is expected to roll a little low and get swept; while D-Day is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 7th-place Canned Crabs will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place The Good Sons (hcp 15). The Crabs might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Sons ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 6th-place When Push Comes To Shove will hang out with 3rd-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction (hcp 43). The Shovers will likely drop their averages like a brick as they get swept; while Mass Destruction will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Spanked (hcp 12) will spend some quality time with 1st-place Top Guns. Spanked is predicted to see their averages fall off a cliff as they get swept; while Top Guns are anticipated to drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
