Well, with only one week left until the final position round in the Bill Mastronardi’s Masters league, the scores this week at Potters Alley were exactly the opposite of what myself and probably many others thought they would be.

 

I will get into that in a moment, but in terms of the standings with only one week left before PR, it was a big night for the top three teams at the top.

 

Plaza Lanes who are currently in first, won 38 out of 50 to stay at the top of the standings, but it was a grind as not one person on the pair was able to shoot 700, but they did enough as a team to make sure they held onto the top spot.

 

Landmark who has had a huge three weeks, was able to add another and win 38 points just like Plaza to stay in 2nd place, and are trailing Plaza for the top spot by only 11 pins. T&D Windshield used a 41-point night to jump from 4th into 3rd, they trail Landmark by 10 and Plaza by 21.

 

With that said, next week at Mt. Hawley, the last week before position round is shaping up to be a major night for the standings, Plaza Lanes bowls T&D and Landmark bowls W. Down Under who is currently in 4th place, behind the leaders by 39.

 

These matchups are going to have a lot on the line as we head into the final position round, and I expect it to be a battle between all four teams to make things interesting before they head to Plaza Lanes for position round, this final 3rd is really up for grabs for a handful of teams.

 

Remember, if a team at the end of the regular schedule has accumulated the most overall points than any other team in the league and has not won any of the three thirds, that team would enter the tournament as a “Wild Card” team. This rewards the team as the overall point winner with an opportunity to win the league. As of now this would be Plaza if they are not able to capture this third.

 

Travis Anderson was your Bowler of the Week shooting 735, he was one of six bowlers that were able to shoot over 700, the highest scoring house in terms of average for the league sure did not play like that this week.

 

Team of the week was T&D Windshield who finished with 2745.

 

The Strikeout pot will be at $540 dollars next week as it has only been broken once this year.

WEEKLY STATISTICS

 

In what I thought would be another huge night for the league at the highest scoring house this year for the masters, turned out to be a very low one.

 

The overall average on the night was only 213.25, yes, you read that correctly, one of the lowest of the season.

 

32 bowlers dropped their average last night, while only 16 raised it. Coming into the night, the average of the league was 220.09, but after the struggles with 89 of the 144 games bowled were under that number it dropped to 219.52.

 

The league has 15 300s, and only 7 800s.

 

We will see what happened at Mt. Hawley next week that I thought would look a lot like this week, but the scores might actually have a chance to be higher, which is an insane thing to say.
