The Playoffs Continue

Hey, sports fans! While that "other" tournament is going on, things have been heating up here in the Spare Mii League!

In the Kids Division, Sarah triumphed over her big brother Tom by only 12 pins to win the tournament. What an excellent season for all of our competitors in the Kids Division. Way to go, Sarah!

In the Pro Division, Adrienne decided not to take any chances, so she bowled a perfect 300 to post the victory over Joe. Very impressive, Adrienne! The Pro Division was definitely close this year!

We still have two tournaments going on. In the Novice Division, Sibyl moves past Bill with a whopping 247! Hollie defeated Butch, Cheryl ousted Alex from the tournament, and Bo moves on with a victory over Q. Excellent season to all of our Novice Division bowlers! This week will feature Hollie vs. Sibyl, and Cheryl vs. Bo to see who moves on to the finals.

In the Advanced Division, Roger (who has come on strong for the tournament) defeated Carter, while Amber took out Charlotte by an 11 point margin. Excellent job, bowlers! This week's finals will pit Roger and Amber against each other to see who brings home the championship!

Thanks to all who have participated!

First Week of Playoffs

Not unlike the NCAA tournament, the first round of our tournament featured a few upsets. It also, sadly, sent half of our players home.

In the Pro Division, Adrienne continued bowling like a champ and defeated Andrew. In a husband-wife battle of the ages, Joe knocked out the heavily favored Kate. (Knocked her out of the tournament, that is. No spouses were battered in the playing of this tournament. That I'm aware of.) Thanks for participating, Andrew and Kate! This week's finals feature Adrienne vs. Joe to see who brings home the trophy!

In the Advanced Division, Carter handily defeated Jim, showing why he was the regular season champion. Roger has come on strong at the end of the season, and ousted Jessica with a personal best 223. In a mother-daughter matchup, Amber sent her own mother packing. How is that for gratitude? And in a squeaker, Charlotte edged out TJ by only 6 pins. It's been fun having you bowl with us, Jim, Jessica, Sherri and TJ. Hope to see you next season! This week's games are Carter vs. Roger and Amber vs. Charlotte in the semi finals.

In the Novice Division, Kelli was forced to forfeit, giving Alex a first round victory. Bo buckled down to defeat Michelle, while Butch beat Josh by only 2 pins! Bill bowled an impressive 179 to send April home for the season. Cheryl, Hollie, Q and Sibyl all advanced on byes this week. Excellent season, Kelli, Michelle, Josh and April. Hope you had fun! This week's quarter finals will showcase Cheryl vs. Alex, Hollie vs. Butch, Q vs. Bo, and Sibyl vs. Bill.

For the Kids Division, Sarah continued her strong performance and defeated Wyatt, while Tom took out the impressive Max. Great season, Wyatt and Max! We've loved having you participate! This week's final showdown pits brother against sister with Sarah and Tom duking it out to see who will be the champion!

I hope that you are all enjoying the tournament! Good luck if you're bowling this week!

The End of the Season

Well, our regular season has ended and the tournament is under way! First, let me acknowledge our Week 6 leaders:

For the Kids Division, Sarah bowled a 210. For the Novice Division, Hollie bowled an impressive 207! In the Advanced Division, Roger led the week with 211. (His personal best!) And for the Pro Division, Adrienne set the pace with a 290. Excellent job by all!

Sherri and Amber were the only ones to participate in Spring Break Week - and they did it with lots of style! Ladies, I will be sending out a little prize to you at the end of the tournament. Thank you for participating with such enthusiasm! (For those keeping score, that is TWO prizes for Sherri, as she and Butch also won Sweethearts Week.)

Amber is ready for the warm weather!


Sherri knows how to relax!
