The 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 sparred with Doll's Balls. Although topped by Seth Gunderson with his below-average 476 series, 4 Bowlers accomplished only 1 win against Doll's Balls. Across the ball return, Ryan Doll called the shots for 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.
On lanes 17 & 18: Frickin' Ten Pin waged a heated competition against King Pins. Although blessed by Carl Goetz with his above-average 594 series, Ten Pin got swept by King Pins. Simultaneously, Duncan Ferber laid down the law in 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. kept grabbing the balls of 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 commanded 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 kept stealing sips of beer from Unstoppabowl. With the strength of Stefan Miller with his 515 series, X9XX split the series with Unstoppabowl. In the meantime, Cory Chorpenning reigned supreme in 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 celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Guttersluts. While headlined by Jason Carpio with his below-average 481 series, Churn and Burn got swept by Guttersluts. Countering this, John Boren drew the spotlight in 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 ducking past the bouncer at 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)

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 conquered Division 2. Chris Lewis topped Division 3, and Daniel Bolton crushed Division 4. Finally, John Boren (Division 1) triumphed over his enemies in this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: John Boren reigns over Division 1; Seth Gunderson is in the driver's seat in Division 2; Deena Slinkard calls the shots for Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 4th-place X9XX will roll 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 spend some quality time with 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 socialize 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 test their mettle against 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 meet 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.
