Week #6 is now in the books and with it came quite the shuffling in the league standings. All but one team found themselves in a new position while the lone foursome that didn't budge extended its lead out ahead of everyone else after an impressive 21-3 start and will easily find themselves on this Top 25 list after the position round. Ready to hear how the matchups played out? Okay, then...Talk about firing on (almost) all cylinders! The members of Schwetty Balls took on league laughingstocks Mark It Zero Tuesday night in the first matchup. Led by – ready for this? – Scott "Scooter J" Murdock and his 587 series, Schwetty was eager to help Mark It Zero extend their losing streak to a solid eight games and handed them their second sweep in as many weeks. Sabrina Gray hoisted her all time highest series (a 443) in the process. Zero's Kody Karnes continues to lead the league with his impressive output – this week putting up a 672 series – but can find no help from his teammates. Schwetty Balls improves one spot into 2nd while Mark It Zero slips back down into 5th place.Are they the loudest team? Definitely. Are they they the funniest team? Without doubt. Are they the team that no one wants to have to face this season? Holy shit, yes. Pinterest continues its dominance over the Spring '14 session with yet another impressive matchup victory, this time against opponents The Finger Holes. With Ian Goetz running point this week with a team leading 560 series, the guys bounced back after a Game #1 loss to run the board the rest of the night en route to a 3-1 win and remain in first place. The F-Holes, led by Aubrey Moren and his 551 series, tumble one spot down into 3rd place.Down on Lanes 45 & 46, the league was treated to the highest number of high games and series in a single matchup we've seen in a while as reigning champs Bowltron did battle with last season's Cinderella story Split It & Hit It. With his first Most Valuable Bowler performance of the season, anchor Ryan Doll woke up to lead his team to a 3-1 matchup victory with his 640 series. Welcome back, Doll! The team almost managed a clean sweep over Split It had it not been for an incredible performance out of sub Todd Way, whose career high 594 series (including his personal best 210 game), earned him #1 Power Ranked bowler honors this week and a narrow win in Game #3 to keep from getting blanked. Bowltron hops up one spot into 4th while Split It & Hit It hits it down into 8th place.After a mishap involving the automated scoring machines, the matchup between Twerking Balls and UpgrayeDD had to take their party downtown to a pair of working lanes. This migration proved to be just what the Twerkers were looking for as they turned their season around with a sweep of their competition. Lead by Teresa Deterding's season best 484 series, the Twerks moves two spots up in the standings – the biggest jump this week – into 6th place. UpgrayeDD, once again led by Rookie of the Season candidate Josh Robison, couldn't capitalize off his team high 410 series and fall one spot into 7th place.The Tournament of Champions is just really getting started and finds the following bowlers leading their respective divisions after three weeks of play:Division 1 – Seth Gunderson (9), Ian Goetz (7)Division 2 – Phil Schroeder (6), Jonathan Vigliaturo (6), Scott Murdock (6), Andy McLeod (5),Division 3 – Josh Robison (7), Teresa Deterding (6)Division 4 – Michael Gordon (12), Steve Kohlmeyer (9)Bowlers melting away more slowly than the snow outside this week in The 200 Club include: Andy McLeod (210), Aubrey Moren (211), Bill Krejci (228), Bob Brunker (200), Bryan Mohr (220, 205), Dennis Blake (215, 229), Ian Goetz (216), Ken M. Wilson (211, 203), Kody Karnes (211, 256), Ryan Doll (220, 204, 216), Scott Murdock (219), Seth Gunderson (212), and Todd Way (210, 203).There are only two more weeks left to nominate someone for this season's Hall of Fame ballot. Get in there already, dammit!See you next Tuesday!
