A stagnated fourth week of Fall 2003 resulted in absolutely no movement in the standings. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game.

As for the men, David Codding snagged this week's high game with a 212, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 591.

- Moving to lanes 17&18, 2nd-place Wolverines (hcp 4) will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place Theee Beeelt. The Wolverines might perform well and win the series; while Theee Beeelt ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 6th-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion will meet with 7th-place Bowl me Ishmael! (estimated hcp 88). Mass Confusion will likely roll decently and sweep the series; while Ishmael will probably raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
