In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 1 as it was a complete embarassment, while Aubrey Moren had his way with Division 2Phil Schroeder had his way with Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Jerry Krall came closest), and Orion Kinkaid triumphed over his enemies in Division 4.

Wilson governs Division 1; Aubrey Moren and Phil Schroeder hold the reins in Division 2 in a tie; AJ Hofmann calls the shots for Division 3; and Amanda Duncan dominates Division 4.

• First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Sweep The Leg, Johnny will share a couple of pitchers with 9th-place Chicks With Balls (hcp 218). Sweep The Leg is expected to roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while the Chicks are forecast to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
• Moving to lanes 21&22, 7th-place BOWLSH!T will roll against 6th-place WWJB (hcp 11). BOWLSH!T might perform well and win the series; while WWJB ought to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
