The sixth week of Fall 2005 saw one team climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Amanda Cox Jeter and Amy Logan both tied for this week's high game for the women with a 149, and women's high series was bagged by Janelle (Laube) Lamar with a 416. As for the men, David Codding earned this week's high game (237) and series (639). Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Three Men and a Babe hung out with Tatonka. Though featuring #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head David Codding and his above-average 639 series, Three Men and a Babe accomplished only 1 win against Tatonka. While that was going down, Andy McLeod laid down the law in Tatonka with his above-average 369 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Three Men and a Babe plummets 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Tatonka remains in 1st.
On lanes 23 & 24: Harry Potter and the Magic Balls sparred with The Big LeBowlskies. Although topped by Andy Metzler with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 396 series, Harry Potter got swept by The Big LeBowlskies. On the other half of the score sheet, Michael Basham mastered The Big LeBowlskies with his 484 as they swept the competition. Harry Potter and the Magic Balls remains in 7th place, while The Big LeBowlskies jump 3 spots to 3rd.
On lanes 25 & 26: Bora Bora! tussled with Same Belt, New Notch. Even though highlighted by the skills of Phil Schroeder with his below-average 412 series, Bora Bora! accomplished only 1 win against the Belt. As for the opposition, Carl Goetz showed off in the Belt with his 539 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bora Bora! drops 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Belt remains in 2nd.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: David Codding conquered Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 2 as it was a complete embarassment. Mark Belles whipped Division 3, and Andrea DeLong swept Division 4. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson holds the reins in Division 1; Seth Gunderson reigns over Division 2; Phil Schroeder leads Division 3; and Andrea DeLong runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 6th-place Bora Bora! will battle 8th-place Munson'd (hcp 16). Bora Bora! is expected to perform well, but split the series with Munson'd; while Munson'd is forecast to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 4th-place Derka, Derka (hcp 39) will challenge 2nd-place Same Belt, New Notch. Derka, Derka might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Harry Potter and the Magic Balls (hcp 88) will roll against 5th-place Three Men and a Babe. Harry Potter will likely have a bit of an off night and get swept; while Three Men and a Babe will probably drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 1st-place Tatonka (hcp 76) will test their mettle against 3rd-place The Big LeBowlskies. Tatonka is predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while The Big LeBowlskies are anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
