A stagnated fourth week of Fall 2003 resulted in absolutely no movement in the standings. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (196) and series (504) for the women. As for the men, David Codding snagged this week's high game with a 212, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 591. 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!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Bowlers of Mass Confusion had a delightful time with Theee Beeelt.

Meanwhile, Bob Brunker guided Gutter Minds with his above-average 554 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Atomic Goo remains in 8th place, while Gutter Minds remain in 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Anchors Aweigh! traded lane malfunctions with Spare Change. Highlighting the skills of #1 Head-to-Head Carl Goetz and his above-average 591 series, the Anchors split the series with Spare Change. On the flipside, Demond Robinson drew the spotlight in Spare Change with his 503 as they matched their opponent in wins. Anchors Aweigh! remains in 1st place, while Spare Change remains in 3rd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Bowl me Ishmael! matched wits with Wolverines. In spite of top-billing by Dennis Pruitt with his 398 series, Ishmael accomplished only 1 win against the Wolverines. On the other side, #1 Power-Ranked Dennis Laube shined in the Wolverines with his terrific 529 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bowl me Ishmael! remains in 7th place, while the Wolverines remain in 2nd.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz shut down Division 1, while Aaron Weidner had his way with Division 2. Scott Murdock claimed victory in Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Marca Robinson came closest).
In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz is in the driver's seat in Division 1; Aaron Weidner governs Division 2; Scott Murdock dominates Division 3; and Marca Robinson leads Division 4.
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 15&16, 8th-place Atomic Goo (hcp 136) will challenge 1st-place Anchors Aweigh!. Atomic Goo is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Anchors are forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 2nd-place Wolverines (hcp 4) will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place Theee Beeelt. The Wolverines might perform well and win the series; while Theee Beeelt ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 6th-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion will face 7th-place Bowl me Ishmael! (estimated hcp 88). Mass Confusion will likely roll decently and sweep the series; while Ishmael will probably raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Spare Change (hcp 17) will test their mettle against 4th-place Gutter Minds. Spare Change is predicted to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Gutter Minds are anticipated to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
*(Remember, the predicted results above are based on mathematical extrapolations and can be changed by all sorts of factors. If you don't like how your team's results are predicted, you and your teammates have the power to prove the math wrong!)

FROM THE GUTTER (GUTTER QUOTE)
"Weidner, Deena, and I had a three way that last frame. Err, I mean, we were all three in the gutter. Dammit, you know what I mean!"
Jason Carpio, with whom the seed for the idea has now been planted.
