The Fall 2003 position round is now history, and and the championship will be on us before we know it! The eighth 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. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (204) and series (551) for the women. As for the men, Pat Searcy snagged this week's high game with a 225, and high series was earned by David Codding with a 563. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Anchors Aweigh! had some one-on-one time with Bowlers of Mass Confusion. Headlined by David Codding with his 563 series, the Anchors split the series with Mass Confusion. Across the ball return, Corey Weinfurt oversaw Mass Confusion with his above-average 497 as they matched their opponent in wins. Anchors Aweigh! remains in 1st place, while Mass Confusion remains in 2nd.
On lanes 17 & 18: Wolverines had a delightful time with Atomic Goo. Though reinforced by Dennis Laube with his above-average 485 series, the Wolverines got swept by Atomic Goo. Concurrently, Steve Robinson showed off in Atomic Goo with his below-average 431 as they swept the competition. Wolverines plummet 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Atomic Goo moves 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 19 & 20: Spare Change celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Bowl me Ishmael!. With Spare Change forfeiting, all Ishmael needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. Mission accomplished. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, Dennis Pruitt drew the spotlight in Ishmael with his terrific 452 as they swept the competition. Spare Change plummets 2 spots in the standings to 7th place, while Ishmael jumps 2 spots to 4th.
Finally, down on lanes 21 & 22: Gutter Minds couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Theee Beeelt. Despite being led by Pat Searcy with his 561 series, Gutter Minds accomplished only 1 win against Theee Beeelt. In the meantime, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Seth Gunderson guided Theee Beeelt with his wondrous 557 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Gutter Minds leap 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Theee Beeelt remains in 8th.
Bowlers who stripped naked and shared a cozy hottub together in a back room at The 200 Club include: Angela Bradford (204), David Codding (202,202), Dennis Laube (200), Pat Searcy (225), and Seth Gunderson (201)

In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz dominates Division 1; Aaron Weidner, Steve Robinson, and Pat Searcy lead Division 2 in a tie; Seth Gunderson runs the show in Division 3; and Ginger O'Reilly and Dennis Pruitt top Division 4 in a tie.
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 15&16, 7th-place Spare Change will match wits with 8th-place Theee Beeelt (hcp 31). Spare Change is expected to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Theee Beeelt is forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 3rd-place Atomic Goo will meet with 4th-place Bowl me Ishmael! (hcp 38). Atomic Goo might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Ishmael ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 2nd-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion will hang out with 5th-place Wolverines (hcp 26). Mass Confusion will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Wolverines will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place Anchors Aweigh! will test their mettle against 6th-place Gutter Minds (hcp 36). The Anchors are predicted to perform well and win the series; while Gutter Minds are anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
*(Remember, the predicted results above are based on mathematical extrapolations and can be changed by all sorts of factors. If you don't like how your team's results are predicted, you and your teammates have the power to prove the math wrong!)
