Congratulations to our division champions! The following eight people will compete next week for the big prize!
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! (hcp 740) will chuck some balls with 2nd-place Bowl Movement. The Belt is expected to drop their averages like a brick as they get swept; while Bowl Movement is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 3rd-place Bora Bora will roll against 4th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Bora Bora might tank their averages considerably, but split the series with Yoohoo; while Yoohoo ought to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 5th-place Split Happens (hcp 447) will test their mettle against 6th-place Guttersluts. Split Happens will likely have their averages plummet as they get swept; while Guttersluts will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 7th-place Yo Mama will compete against 8th-place Tatonka. Yo Mama is predicted to see their averages fall off a cliff, but split the series with Tatonka; while Tatonka is anticipated to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
*(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!)
