Winter Big Turkey Bowling at Sunset Sundays 4:30pm Champs: Gutterballs
Gutterballs Win Second Championship in Dramatic Fashion
Semi-final Round Decided By Sudden Death Bowl-off!
They say one is the loneliest number. Well Sunset Forever found that out the hard way early Sunday evening when they went up against Gutterballs in the first round of the playoffs. While Saints and Sinners made short work of their cinderella story opponents, We're Only Here FOr the Booze, Gutterballs and Sunset Forever's match ended in a rare tie, forcing the even rarer-er Sudden Death Single Frame Bowl-Off! Yes, a tie in our standard playoff format has only happened once before in the illustrious history of BTB- with both teams advancing. This marked the first time ever that the Sudden Death Single Frame Bowl-off would be used. All normal BTB rules applied, including dropping of scores, except both teams had one frame to give it their best. The final score: Gutterballs 37 pins to Sunset Forever's 36. ONE PIN! DOH! The momentum was enough to carry Gutterballs through the championship match and defeat a tiring Saints and Sinners, who had spent their all in their semi-final match. Sunset Forever salvaged some pride by defeating Here for The Booze in the third place match, but our guess is they'll be haunted by that one pin... forever. Congratulations Gutterballs- Winter '08 BTB champs!
Second Place: Saints and Sinners
Third Place: Sunset Forever

POTW: Rachel Chen
Sunset Forever
Rachel Chen brought it on Sunday at Sunset. What we she brought and how long she brought it for, we are not exactly sure, but we do know that at the end of the night, it had in fact been "broughten", to an extent it had perhaps never been broughten before. Her bringit-ness surpassed all previous notions of bringing it, and indeed, shook our notions of reality and the known universe to its core.

POTW: Grant Something
Six Balled Monster
Grant, what a guy! While slightly inconsistent in the scoring area, he was able to bowl his way to a 104 in game 1 and 211 (of course capping out at 205) in Game 2! While they didn't win the match, they did win half the battle. And like they say, "That's half the battle." Way to go, Grant!

Space Invaders Night
What's hotter than a Star Trek convention? Ok - almost anything. But who doesn't have a soft spot for aliens, apocalyptic visions of the future, or the Princess Leia hairdo? Whether you create your own saucy new life form from another planet, honor you

POTW: Jessica Kilian
Gutterballs
Jessica Kilian was there for her team when it mattered most Sunday night. Her 131 in the semis was enough to help her team with a tie, but it was her roll of 8 pins that made the difference in the Sudden Death Single Frame Bowl off (all other scores were identical). Jessica single-handedly got her team into the championship, where they took care of the rest. Folks, we call that "clutch".
