Spring 2007, Week 11

Posted by BowlingBot On March - 27 - 2007ADD COMMENTS

Spring 2007 Week 11 Robo-RecapThe eleventh week of Spring 2007 saw three teams climb in the standings, while four teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Deena Slinkard picked up this week's high game (231) and series (472) for the women, while Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (235) and series (604) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Those 4 Bowlers did battle with Doll's Balls. Regardless of the star power of Seth Gunderson with his below-average 476 series, 4 Bowlers accomplished only 1 win against Doll's Balls. On the flipside, Ryan Doll commanded Doll's Balls with his 503 (along with kudos to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Chris Lewis, as well as #1 Head-to-Head ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Those 4 Bowlers remains in 5th place, while Doll's Balls move 1 spot to 6th.

week11On lanes 17 & 18: Frickin' Ten Pin shared a few beers with King Pins. In spite of top-billing by Carl Goetz with his above-average 594 series, Ten Pin got swept by King Pins. While that was going down, Duncan Ferber dominated King Pins with his 521 as they swept the competition. Frickin' Ten Pin drops 1 spot in the standings to 9th place, while King Pins jump 2 spots to 7th.

On lanes 19 & 20: T.B.D. shared a platter of cheese sticks with Oily Balls. With T.B.D. forfeiting, all Oily Balls needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, Pat Searcy guided Oily Balls with his 604 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. remains in 10th place, while Oily Balls jump 2 spots to 2nd.

On lanes 21 & 22: X9XX faced off against Unstoppabowl. Blessed by Stefan Miller with his 515 series, X9XX split the series with Unstoppabowl. Countering this, Cory Chorpenning mastered Unstoppabowl with his 543 (with props to #1 Head-to-Head bowler ) as they matched their opponent in wins. X9XX drops 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Unstoppabowl sinks 1 spot to 3rd.

Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Churn and Burn had a rendezvous with Guttersluts. While headlined by Jason Carpio with his below-average 481 series, Churn and Burn got swept by Guttersluts. On the other half of the score sheet, John Boren called the shots for Guttersluts with his 574 as they swept the competition. Churn and Burn plummets 2 spots in the standings to 8th place, while Guttersluts remain in 1st.

Bowlers getting the VIP treatment in The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (212), Carl Goetz (214), Chris Lewis (214), Cory Chorpenning (226), Deena Slinkard (231), Duncan Ferber (202), Pat Searcy (235), and Seth Gunderson (200)


New personal high games were set tonight by Deena Slinkard (231, previous best 194) and Chris Lewis (214, previous best 198). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Chris Lewis (498, previous best 469).

Adding to the excitement, the 231 rolled by Deena Slinkard is this season's new high game among women.

The 231 rolled by Deena Slinkard is the new 5th-best women's game in league history!


In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Carl Goetz came closest), while Stefan Miller swept Division 2. Chris Lewis staked a claim for the Iron Throne in Division 3, and Daniel Bolton eradicated Division 4. Finally, John Boren (Division 1) got the better of this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: John Boren calls the shots for Division 1; Seth Gunderson leads Division 2; Deena Slinkard runs the show in Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski holds the reins in Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:
  • First, on lanes 15&16, 4th-place X9XX will compete against 2nd-place Oily Balls (hcp 18). X9XX is expected to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Oily Balls are forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
  • Moving to lanes 17&18, 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers (hcp 2) will challenge 8th-place Churn and Burn. 4 Bowlers might perform well and sweep the series; while Churn and Burn ought to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
  • Then, over on lanes 19&20, 6th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 36) will tussle with 1st-place Guttersluts. Doll's Balls will likely maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Guttersluts will probably drop their average a bit while avoid getting swept.
  • Next up, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place King Pins (hcp 15) will share a couple of pitchers with 10th-place T.B.D.. King Pins might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while T.B.D. ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
  • Finally, on lanes 23&24, 9th-place Frickin' Ten Pin will match wits with 3rd-place Unstoppabowl (hcp 12). Ten Pin is predicted to maintain their current strength as they just barely lose the series; while Unstoppabowl is anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.

Spring 2007, Week 9

Posted by BowlingBot On March - 13 - 2007ADD COMMENTS

Spring 2007 Week 9 Robo-RecapBy now every team has bowled each other once, so next week is the Spring 2007 position round. But enough about next week, you came here to read about this week. The ninth week saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (190) and series (499) for the women, while John Boren earned this week's high game (246) and series (675) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Churn and Burn spent some quality time with Frickin' Ten Pin. Demonstrating the prowess of Jason Carpio with his astonishing 602 series, Churn and Burn collected 3 wins against Ten Pin. Concurrently, Phil Schroeder mastered Ten Pin with his 499 despite his team notching only a single win. Churn and Burn leaps 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Ten Pin sinks 1 spot to 7th.

This was done rather often this week by people we wouldn't normally expect.On lanes 17 & 18: T.B.D. chucked gutter balls with Unstoppabowl. With T.B.D. forfeiting, all Unstoppabowl needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, Cory Chorpenning drew the spotlight in Unstoppabowl with his below-average 532 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. drops 1 spot in the standings to 10th place, while Unstoppabowl remains in 3rd.

On lanes 19 & 20: King Pins tussled with Those 4 Bowlers. Starring Duncan Ferber with his thrilling 613 series, King Pins split the series with 4 Bowlers. Conversely, Seth Gunderson oversaw 4 Bowlers with his above-average 562 as they matched their opponent in wins. King Pins leap 1 spot in the standings to 9th place, while 4 Bowlers remain in 5th.

On lanes 21 & 22: Oily Balls alternated splits with Guttersluts. Despite the strength of Ken M. Wilson with his 549 series, Oily Balls got swept by Guttersluts. While that was going down, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) John Boren commanded Guttersluts with his phenomenal 675 as they swept the competition. Oily Balls drop 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Guttersluts move 1 spot to 1st.

Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Doll's Balls shared a platter of cheese sticks with X9XX. While headlined by Ryan Doll with his 516 series, Doll's Balls accomplished only 1 win against X9XX. On the other side, Don Glasscock dominated X9XX with his 603 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Doll's Balls remains in 8th place, while X9XX remains in 4th.

Bowlers entering The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (204), Cory Chorpenning (210), Don Glasscock (226), Duncan Ferber (244), Jason Carpio (207,242), John Boren (214,215,246), John Coleman (201), Pat Searcy (200), Ryan Doll (209), and Seth Gunderson (216)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: John Boren claimed victory in Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though Bill Krejci came closest). Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Angela Bradford came closest), and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Shaun Crockett came closest). And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about this bracket as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy calls the shots for Division 1; Seth Gunderson dominates Division 2; Deena Slinkard reigns over Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski holds the reins in Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

  • First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Guttersluts (hcp 47) will roll against 2nd-place Oily Balls. Guttersluts are expected to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Oily Balls are forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
  • Moving to lanes 17&18, 3rd-place Unstoppabowl (hcp 21) will meet with 4th-place X9XX. Unstoppabowl might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with X9XX; while X9XX ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
  • Then, over on lanes 19&20, 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers (hcp 12) will compete against 6th-place Churn and Burn. 4 Bowlers will likely roll decently and win the series; while Churn and Burn will probably hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
  • Next up, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place Frickin' Ten Pin will chill with 8th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 49). Ten Pin might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Doll's Balls ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
  • Finally, on lanes 23&24, 9th-place King Pins will test their mettle against 10th-place T.B.D.. King Pins are predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while T.B.D. is anticipated to drop their average a bit while avoid getting swept.

Posted by BowlingBot On March - 6 - 2007ADD COMMENTS

Spring 2007 Week 8 Robo-RecapWe are now halfway through the Spring 2007 season, so time is running out for those teams who want a shot at the championship to position themselves. The eighth week saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (191) and series (503) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (242) and series (660) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Doll's Balls matched wits with King Pins. Even though highlighted by the skills of John Richardson with his astonishing 499 series, Doll's Balls accomplished only 1 win against King Pins. Concurrently, John Coleman called the shots for King Pins with his 570 (along with kudos to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Daniel Bolton, as well as #1 Head-to-Head ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Doll's Balls remains in 8th place, while King Pins remain in 10th.

week8On lanes 17 & 18: Churn and Burn accepted a challenge by Oily Balls. Despite being led by James Cholke with his 489 series, Churn and Burn missed getting swept by Oily Balls by just one pin. On the other side, Pat Searcy drew the spotlight in Oily Balls with his 590 as his team took the series with 3.5 wins. Churn and Burn drops 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Oily Balls remain in 1st.

On lanes 19 & 20: X9XX tussled with Frickin' Ten Pin. With the strength of Stefan Miller with his 523 series, X9XX collected 3 wins against Ten Pin. Simultaneously, #1 Head-to-Head Carl Goetz ruled Ten Pin with his fantastic 660 despite his team notching only a single win. X9XX remains in 4th place, while Ten Pin moves 1 spot to 6th.

On lanes 21 & 22: T.B.D. waged a heated competition against Those 4 Bowlers. While headlined by Steve Kiernan with his 555 series, T.B.D. accomplished only 1 win against 4 Bowlers. Across the ball return, Seth Gunderson commanded 4 Bowlers with his above-average 566 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. remains in 9th place, while 4 Bowlers remain in 5th.

Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Guttersluts had some one-on-one time with Unstoppabowl. Blessed by Bill Krejci with his thrilling 594 series, Guttersluts celebrated a clean sweep over Unstoppabowl. In the midst of this, Cory Chorpenning dominated Unstoppabowl with his below-average 500 despite his team getting swept. Guttersluts leap 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Unstoppabowl sinks 1 spot to 3rd.

Bowlers slipping under the velvet rope in front of The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (221,204), Carl Goetz (242,218,200), John Boren (213), John Coleman (213), and Pat Searcy (212,216)


A new personal best series was rolled tonight by Dave Hickerson (514, previous best 499).


In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz whipped Division 1, while Seth Gunderson cleaned up Division 2. Dave Hickerson spanked Division 3, and Daniel Bolton crushed Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about this bracket as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy tops Division 1; Seth Gunderson leads Division 2; Deena Slinkard runs the show in Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski reigns over Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:
  • First, on lanes 15&16, 7th-place Churn and Burn (hcp 38) will meet with 6th-place Frickin' Ten Pin. Churn and Burn is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Ten Pin is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
  • Moving to lanes 17&18, 9th-place T.B.D. (hcp 55) will challenge 3rd-place Unstoppabowl. T.B.D. might roll a little low and get swept; while Unstoppabowl ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
  • Then, over on lanes 19&20, 10th-place King Pins (hcp 56) will match wits with 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers. King Pins will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while 4 Bowlers will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
  • Next up, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place Oily Balls will chill with 2nd-place Guttersluts (hcp 54). Oily Balls might perform well and sweep the series; while Guttersluts ought to drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
  • Finally, on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 28) will compete against 4th-place X9XX. Doll's Balls are predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while X9XX is anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
