The tenth week of Fall 2004 saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (202) and series (514) for the women. As for the men, Nik Domann snagged this week's high game with a 235, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 616. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: The Belt Strikes Back kept stealing sips of beer from Recreation Intoxication. Blessed by Nik Domann with his above-average 559 series, the Belt collected 3 wins against Recreation . Meanwhile, Pat Searcy ruled Recreation with his 541 despite his team notching only a single win. The Belt Strikes Back leaps 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Recreation sinks 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Bowlkake had a delightful time with A Solid No. 2. Though featuring Carl Goetz with his 616 series, Bowlkake accomplished only 1 win against No. 2. On the flipside, Corey Weinfurt mastered No. 2 with his 528 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Eric Lynch) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bowlkake drops 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while No. 2 moves 1 spot to 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Paul Hamms celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers. Starring #1 Power-Ranked Mark McClendon and his powerful 555 series, the Hamms split the series with the Ninjas. On the adjacent lane, #1 Head-to-Head Dennis Laube laid down the law in the Ninjas with his above-average 544 as they matched their opponent in wins. Paul Hamms drop 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while the Ninjas move 1 spot to 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Die Schlag-Maschinen chucked gutter balls with Ashley Razabacks. Even though highlighted by the skills of Jerry Krall with his 396 series, Die Schlag-Maschinen accomplished only 1 win against the Razabacks. Simultaneously, Stefan Paz oversaw the Razabacks with his above-average 517 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Die Schlag-Maschinen remains in 8th place, while the Razabacks remain in 1st.
Bowlers lounging at The 200 Club include: Angela Bradford (202), Carl Goetz (210,214), Mark McClendon (218,201), Nik Domann (235), and Pat Searcy (226)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Dennis Laube ruled Division 1, while Eric Lynch had his way with Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Amanda Schulte came closest), and nobody claimed victory in Division 4, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 4 as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Dennis Laube leads Division 1; Jason Carpio is in the driver's seat in Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar calls the shots for Division 3; and Ray Haynes reigns over Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 6th-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers (hcp 63) will match wits with 4th-place A Solid No. 2. The Ninjas are expected to perform well and win the series; while No. 2 is forecast to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 2nd-place The Belt Strikes Back will meet with 8th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen (hcp 136). The Belt might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Die Schlag-Maschinen ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 7th-place Bowlkake will share a couple of pitchers with 1st-place Ashley Razabacks (hcp 139). Bowlkake will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while the Razabacks will probably hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 3rd-place Paul Hamms (hcp 72) will spend some quality time with 5th-place Recreation Intoxication. The Hamms are predicted to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Recreation is anticipated to hold steady as 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!)
