The Tournament of Champions begins in 2 weeks. Here are how the divisions are shaping up so far:

• First, on lanes 19&20, 9th-place Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty will tussle with 7th-place Livin' On A Spare (hcp 74). Spare The Rod is expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Livin' On A Spare is forecast to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
• Moving to lanes 21&22, 10th-place Dave and the Wingers (hcp 32) will compete against 4th-place WWJB. The Wingers might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while WWJB ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
• Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Bowl Movement (hcp 108) will chuck some balls with 8th-place Bad Newz Kennels. Bowl Movement will likely roll decently, yet still manage to get swept; while the Kennels will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
• Next up, on lanes 25&26, 3rd-place Chico's Bail Bonds (hcp 81) will challenge 2nd-place Ain't No Sh!t. Chico's might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Ain't No Sh!t ought to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
• Finally, on lanes 27&28, 1st-place Dios Mios will meet with 6th-place Is This Billable? (hcp 12). Dios Mios are predicted to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Is This Billable? is anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
