The fifteenth week of Spring 2010 saw one team climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (209) and series (541) for the women. As for the men, Ken M. Wilson snagged this week's high game with a 245, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 582. Meanwhile, Tournament of Champions is officially down to its final eight bowlers, who will face each other next week competing for two cash prizes! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 25 & 26: The Prak Attack had a rendezvous with 3 Pin Moon. In spite of top-billing by Shane Pfaffly with his below-average 359 series, the Attack got swept by 3 Pin Moon. Countering this, Ryan Doll drew the spotlight in 3 Pin Moon with his 547 as they swept the competition. The Prak Attack drops 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while 3 Pin Moon remains in 3rd.
On lanes 27 & 28: No Pinheads traded lane malfunctions with Bowlumpkin. Demonstrating the prowess of trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Phil Schroeder and his above-average 544 series, the Pinheads celebrated a clean sweep over Bowlumpkin. In the midst of this, AJ Taylor mastered Bowlumpkin with his 440 despite his team getting swept. No Pinheads leap 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Bowlumpkin sinks 1 spot to 6th.
On lanes 29 & 30: Little Lebowski Urban Achievers shared a few beers with Empire Strikes Back. Though reinforced by Clay Mellgren with his above-average 502 series, the Urban Achievers accomplished only 1 win against the Empire. Meanwhile, Carl Goetz ruled the Empire with his 582 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Little Lebowski Urban Achievers remains in 8th place, while the Empire remains in 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz sparred with Lil' Devils. Led by Angela Bradford with her 521 series, the Schlitz collected 3 wins against Lil' Devils. Conversely, Andrea Caudillo dominated Lil' Devils with her above-average 462 despite her team notching only a single win. Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz remains in 1st place, while Lil' Devils remain in 4th.
Bowlers paying far too much for well vodka at The 200 Club include: Angela Bradford (202), Carl Goetz (225), Freda Schroeder (209), Ken M. Wilson (245), and Ryan Doll (203)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Freda Schroeder came closest), while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though Chris Lewis came closest). Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though AJ Taylor came closest), and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Sabrina Gray came closest). Congratulations to our division champions! The following eight people will compete next week for the big prize! Division 1: Ken Wilson and Dennis Laube. Division 2: Chris Lewis and Phil Schroeder. Division 3: Janelle Lamar and AJ Taylor. Division 4: Lawrence Prak and Bill Riley.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 25&26, 1st-place Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz (hcp 59) will hang out with 2nd-place Empire Strikes Back. The Schlitz is expected to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Empire is forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 27&28, 3rd-place 3 Pin Moon will match wits with 4th-place Lil' Devils (hcp 126). 3 Pin Moon might maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Lil' Devils ought to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Then, over on lanes 29&30, 5th-place No Pinheads will spend some quality time with 6th-place Bowlumpkin (hcp 102). The Pinheads will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Bowlumpkin will probably hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 31&32, 7th-place The Prak Attack (hcp 1) will tussle with 8th-place Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. The Attack is predicted to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Urban Achievers are anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
*(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!)
