The tweltfh week of Fall 2004 saw three teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler roll a new personal best game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (188) and series (520) for the women, while Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (248) and series (627) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Bowlkake entered a showdown to the death with Paul Hamms. With the strength of #1 Head-to-Head Ken M. Wilson and his above-average 627 series, Bowlkake collected 3 wins against the Hamms. On the flipside, Bill Krejci drew the spotlight in the Hamms with his below-average 516 (with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Chad Green) despite his team notching only a single win. Bowlkake leaps 2 spots in the standings to 4th place, while the Hamms plunge 3 spots to 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Ashley Razabacks traded lane malfunctions with Recreation Intoxication. Topped by Rich DeYoung with his above-average 503 series, the Razabacks split the series with Recreation . On the adjacent lane, Pat Searcy guided Recreation with his 543 as they matched their opponent in wins. Ashley Razabacks leap 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while Recreation remains in 2nd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of The Belt Strikes Back. Featuring Dennis Laube with his 484 series, the Ninjas split the series with the Belt. Meanwhile, Demond Robinson took the lead in the Belt with his 535 as they matched their opponent in wins. Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers plummet 2 spots in the standings to 7th place, while the Belt remains in 1st.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: A Solid No. 2 spent a romantic evening with Die Schlag-Maschinen. Showcasing Corey Weinfurt with his 510 series, with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Eric Lynch, No. 2 collected 3 wins against Die Schlag-Maschinen. Countering this, Jerry Krall showed off in Die Schlag-Maschinen with his 408 despite his team notching only a single win. A Solid No. 2 leaps 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Die Schlag-Maschinen remains in 8th.
Bowlers who stripped naked and shared a cozy hottub together in a back room at The 200 Club include: Demond Robinson (220), Justin Strelow (203), Ken M. Wilson (248,200), and Pat Searcy (209)

The 248 rolled by Ken M. Wilson is the new 6th-best game in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Corey Weinfurt shut down Division 1, while Michael Basham spanked Division 2. Deena Slinkard triumphed over her enemies in Division 3, and Chad Green had his way with Division 4. In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy runs the show in Division 1; Michael Basham, Jason Carpio, Eric Lynch, and Seth Gunderson lead Division 2 in a tie; Janelle (Laube) Lamar is in the driver's seat in Division 3; and Ray Haynes calls the shots for Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 5th-place A Solid No. 2 will tussle with 3rd-place Ashley Razabacks (hcp 49). No. 2 is expected to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with the Razabacks; while the Razabacks are forecast to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 6th-place Paul Hamms (hcp 64) will compete against 1st-place The Belt Strikes Back. The Hamms might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place Recreation Intoxication will test their mettle against 8th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen (hcp 148). Recreation will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Die Schlag-Maschinen will probably hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers (hcp 134) will share a couple of pitchers with 4th-place Bowlkake. The Ninjas are predicted to perform well, yet still manage to get swept; while Bowlkake is anticipated to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
