Manute Bowl drops 1 spot in the standings to 9th place, while Split Happens move 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Hez-Bowl-lah kept stealing sips of beer from Bowlkake2. While headlined by Rich DeYoung with his above-average 535 series, Hez-Bowl-lah accomplished only 1 win against Bowlkake2. While that was going down, Thomas Lin laid down the law in Bowlkake2 with his 566 (with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Dave Hickerson) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Hez-Bowl-lah remains in 1st place, while Bowlkake2 remains in 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: New Balls, Old Rack took turns kicking the ball return with All Belts Are Off. Topped by #1 Head-to-Head Ken M.

NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Hez-Bowl-lah (hcp 15) will share a couple of pitchers with 2nd-place Bowlkake2. Hez-Bowl-lah is expected to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Bowlkake2 is forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 3rd-place Split Happens (hcp 63) will chill with 4th-place New Balls, Old Rack. Split Happens might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Old Rack ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 5th-place All Belts Are Off will throw some gutter balls with 6th-place Frickin' Ten Pins (hcp 38). The Belt will likely roll decently, but split the series with Frickin' Ten Pins; while Frickin' Ten Pins will probably raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place TBD will test their mettle against 8th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 25). TBD might perform well and win the series; while Not Gutter ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 9th-place Manute Bowl will match wits with 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 71). Manute Bowl is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Guttersluts are anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
