By now every team has bowled each other once, so next week is the Fall 2003 position round. But enough about next week, you came here to read about this week. The seventh week saw three teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Marca Robinson landed this week's high game for the women with a 156, and women's high series was bagged by Angela Bradford with a 401. As for the men, David Codding earned this week's high game (268) and series (601). Read on for all the rest of the details!

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Carl Goetz came closest), while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though Steve Robinson came closest). Phil Schroeder eradicated Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 4 as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz dominates Division 1; Aaron Weidner and Steve Robinson run the show in Division 2 in a tie; Scott Murdock governs Division 3; and Ginger O'Reilly leads Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Anchors Aweigh! will throw some gutter balls with 2nd-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion (hcp 72). The Anchors are expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Mass Confusion is forecast to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 3rd-place Wolverines will spend some quality time with 4th-place Atomic Goo (hcp 36). The Wolverines might perform well and sweep the series; while Atomic Goo ought to raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 5th-place Spare Change will match wits with 6th-place Bowl me Ishmael! (hcp 113). Spare Change will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Ishmael will probably hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place Gutter Minds will share a couple of pitchers with 8th-place Theee Beeelt (hcp 64). Gutter Minds are predicted to perform well, but split the series with Theee Beeelt; while Theee Beeelt is anticipated to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
