By now every team has bowled each other once, so next week is the Spring 2004 position round. But enough about next week, you came here to read about this week. The fifth week saw two teams climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (180) and series (507) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (266) and series (708) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Joey's B*tches spent a romantic evening with The Bowling Stones. Showcasing #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Carl Goetz and his remarkable 708 series, the B*tches split the series with the Stones. On the other half of the score sheet, Michael Basham oversaw the Stones with his wondrous 456 as they matched their opponent in wins. Joey's B*tches leap 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while the Stones remain in 4th.
On lanes 17 & 18: 2 Tall Asians, 2 Short Whites entered a showdown to the death with Recreation Intoxication.

Finally, down on lanes 19 & 20: T.R.O.T.B. couldn't stop inappropriately groping Got Carpio?. Despite being led by Scott Murdock with his thrilling 502 series, T.R.O.T.B. accomplished only 1 win against Got Carpio?. In the midst of this, Eric Lynch took the lead in Got Carpio? with his dramatic 560 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Jason Carpio) as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.R.O.T.B. remains in 6th place, while Got Carpio? jumps 2 spots to 3rd.
