The fourth week of Fall 2006 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (167) and series (445) for the women, while David Codding earned this week's high game (267) and series (632) for the men. Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions also kicked off tonight, beginning of 13 weeks of one-on-one bowling excitement! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter shared a few beers with New Balls, Old Rack. In spite of top-billing by Ryan Doll with his below-average 451 series, with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Scott Murdock, Not Gutter accomplished only 1 win against the Old Rack. On the other side, Bob Brunker drew the spotlight in the Old Rack with his 574 as his team took the series with 3 wins. I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter remains in 5th place, while the Old Rack remains in 3rd.
On lanes 17 & 18: Frickin' Ten Pins had a delightful time with Hez-Bowl-lah. Regardless of the star power of Carl Goetz with his below-average 471 series, Frickin' Ten Pins accomplished only 1 win against Hez-Bowl-lah. Conversely, Pete Forster laid down the law in Hez-Bowl-lah with his 554 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Frickin' Ten Pins remains in 7th place, while Hez-Bowl-lah remains in 4th.
On lanes 19 & 20: All Belts Are Off hung out with Manute Bowl. Led by David Codding with his 632 series, with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Scott Murdock, the Belt collected 3 wins against Manute Bowl. On the flipside, Andy McLeod ruled Manute Bowl with his above-average 408 despite his team notching only a single win. All Belts Are Off remains in 1st place, while Manute Bowl remains in 8th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Bowlkake2 faced off against TBD. Even though highlighted by the skills of Thomas Lin with his 557 series, Bowlkake2 accomplished only 1 win against TBD. In the meantime, David Parre oversaw TBD with his above-average 486 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bowlkake2 remains in 6th place, while TBD moves 1 spot to 9th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Split Happens accepted a challenge by Guttersluts. Blessed by Nick Allegri with his 519 series, Split Happens collected 3 wins against the Guttersluts. Countering this, Andrea DeLong shined in the Guttersluts with her below-average 332 despite her team notching only a single win. Split Happens remains in 2nd place, while the Guttersluts sink 1 spot to 10th.
Bowlers entering The 200 Club include: Bob Brunker (232), David Codding (267), Pat Searcy (201), Pete Forster (202), and Seth Gunderson (208)
A new
personal best series was rolled tonight by
Ben Lee (405, previous best 396).
Adding to the excitement, the 267 rolled by David Codding is this season's new high game for men.
The 267 rolled by David Codding is tied for the 5th-best game in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nick Allegri decimated Division 1, while Rich DeYoung crushed Division 2. Scott Murdock got the better of Division 3, and Andy McLeod claimed victory in Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about this bracket as it was a complete embarassment.
In terms of overall points: Nick Allegri governs Division 1; Rich DeYoung is in the driver's seat in Division 2; Scott Murdock dominates Division 3; and Andy McLeod leads Division 4.
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 15&16, 2nd-place Split Happens will match wits with 8th-place Manute Bowl (hcp 47). Split Happens are expected to perform well and win the series; while Manute Bowl is forecast to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 9th-place TBD will socialize with 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 68). TBD might maintain their current strength as they just barely miss sweeping the series; while the Guttersluts ought to hold steady as they just barely avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 6th-place Bowlkake2 will chill with 4th-place Hez-Bowl-lah (hcp 15). Bowlkake2 will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Hez-Bowl-lah will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place All Belts Are Off will hang out with 3rd-place New Balls, Old Rack (hcp 24). The Belt might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with the Old Rack; while the Old Rack ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 7th-place Frickin' Ten Pins will test their mettle against 5th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 81). Frickin' Ten Pins are predicted to perform well and just barely miss sweeping the series; while Not Gutter is anticipated to raise their average even as they just barely avoid getting swept.
