The third week of Spring 2006 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Janelle (Laube) Lamar picked up this week's high game (195) and series (472) for the women. As for the men, Ken M. Wilson snagged this week's high game with a 230, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz and Jason Carpio, who tied with a 620. And the Tournament of Champions divisions are now set, ready for one-on-one action to begin next week! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! accepted a challenge by Split Happens. Reinforced by #1 Head-to-Head and Most Valuable Bowler Jason Carpio and his spectacular 620 series, the Belt celebrated a clean sweep over Split Happens. Conversely, James Long guided Split Happens with his above-average 581 despite his team getting swept. I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! remains in 1st place, while Split Happens plunge 2 spots to 6th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Bowl Movement matched wits with Bora Bora. Topped by Carl Goetz with his 620 series, Bowl Movement collected 3 wins against Bora Bora. While that was going down, John Richardson mastered Bora Bora with his above-average 479 despite his team notching only a single win. Bowl Movement remains in 2nd place, while Bora Bora remains in 3rd.
On lanes 25 & 26: Sweeter Than Yoohoo shared a platter of cheese sticks with Tatonka. Starring Michael Basham with his 516 series, Yoohoo collected 3 wins against Tatonka. On the flipside, Will Jeter called the shots for Tatonka with his 441 despite his team notching only a single win. Sweeter Than Yoohoo leaps 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Tatonka sinks 1 spot to 7th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Yo Mama couldn't stop inappropriately groping Guttersluts. Showcasing Andy Metzler with his awe-inspiring 582 series, Yo Mama celebrated a clean sweep over Guttersluts. Countering this, #1 Power-Ranked Aaron Hoyt oversaw Guttersluts with his stupendous 448 despite his team getting swept. Yo Mama leaps 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Guttersluts remain in 8th.

NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place Tatonka will chuck some balls with 8th-place Guttersluts (hcp 120). Tatonka is expected to maintain their current strength as they just barely win the series; while Guttersluts are forecast to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 4th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo will meet with 5th-place Yo Mama (hcp 83). Yoohoo might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Yo Mama ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place Bowl Movement will compete against 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! (hcp 60). Bowl Movement will likely maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Belt will probably drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 3rd-place Bora Bora will socialize with 6th-place Split Happens (hcp 70). Bora Bora is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Split Happens are anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
