In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz topped Division 1, while Chris Lewis claimed victory in Division 2. John Keck swept Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 4 as it was a complete embarassment. Finally, Janelle (Laube) Lamar (Division 4) creamed this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz governs Division 1; Aubrey Moren leads Division 2; Carter Collins tops Division 3; and Lindsay Jamis reigns over Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 2nd-place Ain't No Sh!t will spend some quality time with 3rd-place Dios Mios (hcp 145). Ain't No Sh!t is expected to see a pretty significant "market correction" to their averages as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Dios Mios are forecast to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 8th-place Dave and the Wingers will share a couple of pitchers with 9th-place Livin' On A Spare (hcp 16). The Wingers might perform well and win the series; while Livin' On A Spare ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Is This Billable? will compete against 6th-place Bowl Movement (hcp 48). Is This Billable? will likely have a bit of an off night and get swept; while Bowl Movement will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 1st-place Chico's Bail Bonds will chuck some balls with 10th-place WWJB (hcp 146). Chico's might perform well and sweep the series; while WWJB ought to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 7th-place Bad Newz Kennels will tussle with 4th-place Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty (hcp 64). The Kennels are predicted to roll a little low, but split the series with Spare The Rod; while Spare The Rod is anticipated to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
