The thirteenth week of Fall 2005 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (177) and series (502) for the women, while John Richardson earned this week's high game (226) and series (644) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Tatonka waged a heated competition against Harry Potter and the Magic Balls. With the strength of Will Jeter with his 446 series, Tatonka collected 3 wins against Harry Potter. On the adjacent lane, Andy Metzler showed off in Harry Potter with his above-average 511 despite his team notching only a single win. Tatonka remains in 1st place, while Harry Potter remains in 7th.

On lanes 23 & 24: The Big LeBowlskies had a rendezvous with Three Men and a Babe. While headlined by Dennis Laube with his above-average 559 series, The Big LeBowlskies accomplished only 1 win against Three Men and a Babe. On the flipside, Ken M. Wilson laid down the law in Three Men and a Babe with his 562 as his team took the series with 3 wins. The Big LeBowlskies drop 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Three Men and a Babe moves 1 spot to 5th.

On lanes 25 & 26: Bora Bora! chucked gutter balls with Derka, Derka. With top billing by trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) John Richardson and his awe-inspiring 644 series, Bora Bora! collected 3 wins against Derka, Derka. Across the ball return, Rich DeYoung mastered Derka, Derka with his 508 despite his team notching only a single win. Bora Bora! remains in 2nd place, while Derka, Derka remains in 4th.

Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Munson'd kept grabbing the balls of Same Belt, New Notch. With Munson'd forfeiting, all the Belt needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. Mission accomplished. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, Carl Goetz reigned supreme in the Belt with his 556 as they swept the competition. Munson'd remains in 8th place, while the Belt remains in 3rd.

Bowlers bribing their way into The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (214), John Richardson (226,226), Ken M. Wilson (214), and Seth Gunderson (221)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Ken M. Wilson came closest), while Seth Gunderson decimated Division 2. Tracy Rychlewski vanquished Division 3, and John Richardson crushed Division 4. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson leads Division 1; Seth Gunderson calls the shots for Division 2; Phil Schroeder tops Division 3; and John Richardson holds the reins in Division 4.
