The fourteenth week of Spring 2006 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (169) and series (464) for the women, while Rich DeYoung earned this week's high game (247) and series (659) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Split Happens had a delightful time with Bowl Movement. Though reinforced by Ryan Doll with his above-average 531 series, Split Happens accomplished only 1 win against Bowl Movement. On the adjacent lane, David Codding guided Bowl Movement with his 601 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Split Happens drop 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, while Bowl Movement remains in 2nd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Guttersluts shared a platter of cheese sticks with Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Although topped by Travis Kleiner with his 375 series, Guttersluts got swept by Yoohoo. Conversely, Thomas Lin took the lead in Yoohoo with his above-average 582 as they swept the competition. Guttersluts drop 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Yoohoo moves 1 spot to 4th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Bora Bora took turns kicking the ball return with I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka!. In spite of top-billing by John Richardson with his 494 series, Bora Bora accomplished only 1 win against the Belt. Across the ball return, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Rich DeYoung mastered the Belt with his wondrous 659 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bora Bora remains in 3rd place, while the Belt remains in 1st.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Yo Mama couldn't stop inappropriately groping Tatonka. Blessed by Andy Metzler with his 503 series, Yo Mama collected 3 wins against Tatonka. Simultaneously, Andy McLeod laid down the law in Tatonka with his above-average 507 despite his team notching only a single win. Yo Mama leaps 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Tatonka remains in 8th.
Bowlers who stripped naked and shared a cozy hottub together in a back room at The 200 Club include: Andy McLeod (200), David Codding (223), Dennis Laube (203), Jason Carpio (203), Ken M. Wilson (211), Pat Searcy (221), Rich DeYoung (247,220), Scott Murdock (204), and Thomas Lin (206)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson spanked Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though Andy Metzler came closest). Scott Murdock shut down Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Tracy Rychlewski came closest). Finally, Ryan Doll (Division 4) ruled this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson reigns over Division 1; David Codding leads Division 2; John Richardson calls the shots for Division 3; and Ryan Doll holds the reins in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Bora Bora will compete against 6th-place Yo Mama (hcp 76). Bora Bora is expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Yo Mama is forecast to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 8th-place Tatonka (hcp 163) will meet with 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka!. Tatonka might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Belt ought to drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Guttersluts (hcp 300) will face 2nd-place Bowl Movement. Guttersluts will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Bowl Movement will probably drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 5th-place Split Happens (hcp 102) will hang out with 4th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Split Happens are predicted to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Yoohoo; while Yoohoo is anticipated to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
