At the conclusion of Week #7 Tuesday night, every team has now faced one another once. With the position round looming just ahead, wins become imperative while jockeying for a better spot where you can do more damage against your closest opponent. While the top three teams didn't budge, 4th through 8th place jumped, jived, and wailed into new spots. This season has seen some impressive scores and series from both teams as well as individuals and this week was no exception. Ready to hear the particulars? Well, read on...Coming off an impressive run with last week's matchup of being the only team to outright win a series against the 1st place team, Pin and Tonics looked to improve their spot in the league standings. Their opponent, the hapless 921+ that has not been up to snuff here lately, finally showed up. Led by this week's by Brian Coe's 725 series – which earned him both #1 Power Ranked bowler and Most Valuable Bowler honors – the team with the highest output in league history got down to business and moved up two spots to 4th place with their clean sweep of their opponents. The Tonic's Aaron Barber put up a team-leading 532 series but couldn't derail the surging 921s. Pin and Tonics fall one spot into 6th place.Looking to bounce back after their post-bowling losses earlier in the day, current standings leaders My Three Sons set out to stick it to More Beer, Chelsea. It simply wasn't in the cards, however, as Chelsea came away with win while sitting victories in Games #1 and #2 behind Eric Lynch's 515 series. Game #3, however, saw the Sons regroup from their narrow losses to exact revenge with a Game #3 victory that also sealed total pins for a 2-2 split series. Carl Goetz led the Sons with a 628 series and keeps his team in 1st place. More Beer Chelsea drop one spot into 5th place.After a slow start, Dixie Stampede has roared back into being a force with which to be reckoned. With Ryan Doll seemingly possessed – he rolled another impressive series for a second week in a row, ending with a 664 – the Stampede did just that against opponents The Finger Holes. After splitting the first two games, Dixie danced away with the 3-1 matchup victory and remains in 3rd place. Aubrey Moren's 512 series led the F-Holes but could only secure their lone victory in Game #2. Despite the losses, The Finger Holes remain in 2nd place.In the final matchup of the night, Split It & Hit It got a pleasant surprise as their opponents Ballz Out were a forfeiting no-show. Having only to come within 40 pins of their team average to secure wins, the team did just that and added four more wins to their record to climb out of the cellar and up one spot into 7th place. Sub Dennis Blake 499 series was the tops for the team. Ballz Out traded places with them and slip one spot to take over 8th place.The Tournament of Champions currently looks like this:Division 1 = Ryan Doll (16), Carl Goetz (10)Division 2 = Aubrey Moren (10), Jonathan Vigliaturo (7)Division 3 = Eric Lynch (9), Rob Kaszuba (7)Division 4 = Dan Imperial (12), Michael Smith (10)Bowlers talking smack about the position round in The 200 Club this week include: Brian Coe (225, 245, 255), Carl Goetz (201, 244), Ian Goetz (234), John Boren (234), Jonathan Vigliaturo (201), Ken M. Wilson (238, 205, 203), Kody Karnes (205, 201), and Ryan Doll (243, 242).See you next Tuesday!
