NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place All Belt, No Buckle will compete against 5th-place Handicrappers (hcp 111). The Belt is expected to maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Handicrappers are forecast to raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 8th-place Big Pin Pin (hcp 42) will share a couple of pitchers with 7th-place Bowlingstar Galactica. Pin Pin might perform well and sweep the series; while the Galactica ought to drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 3rd-place Sub Parre (hcp 87) will test their mettle against 4th-place Nellielocks and the 3 Spares. Sub Parre will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Nellielocks will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place 4 Play (hcp 8) will roll against 6th-place The Incredibowls. 4 Play is predicted to maintain their current strength as they just barely miss getting swept; while The Incredibowls are anticipated to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
