The reader reading this before August 22 is hereby directed to the standings sheet as linked in the sidebar.
My team stayed in 5th place after this week, and will face “Shake ‘N Bake”, the team we got out of our collective funk against a couple of weeks ago, on lanes 47 and 48 next week. With a current total of 56 points, and with the second (Team 5) and third (SHIHOOTS!) place teams having 60 points apiece, we could conceivably move up with a sweep of our match. If the second and third place teams each split their matches, we would tie them for points, but the pinfall (with handicap) difference is currently about 400 pins to Team 5, and we hold the pinfall tiebreaker (by less than 100 pins) over SHIHOOTS!, so assuming the pinfall difference stays the same, we have a better chance of moving into third place.
As a side note, there is no way Team 5 can catch Team 18 (which has 70 points), so I’d like to extend congratulations to Team 18 (Steven and Bill Hudson, Brian Misasi, and Dan Monahan) on clinching the Wednesday Summer Mixed League title. Good bowling, guys! 😀
