The ninth week of Fall 2004 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (193) and series (541) for the women, while Bill Krejci earned this week's high game (267) and series (595) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Paul Hamms celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Die Schlag-Maschinen. With top billing by Bill Krejci with his above-average 595 series, with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Mark McClendon, the Hamms celebrated a clean sweep over Die Schlag-Maschinen. On the adjacent lane, Amanda Schulte shined in Die Schlag-Maschinen with her commanding 425 despite her team getting swept. Paul Hamms leap 2 spots in the standings to 2nd place, while Die Schlag-Maschinen remains in 8th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Ashley Razabacks. Though featuring Dennis Laube with his below-average 446 series, the Ninjas accomplished only 1 win against the Razabacks. On the flipside, Stefan Paz took the lead in the Razabacks with his 462 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers remains in 7th place, while the Razabacks remain in 1st.
On lanes 23 & 24: A Solid No. 2 couldn't stop inappropriately groping Recreation Intoxication. Highlighting the skills of Corey Weinfurt with his 513 series, with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Andee Weinfurt, No. 2 collected 3 wins against Recreation . Concurrently, Bob Brunker oversaw Recreation with his 542 (with props to #1 Head-to-Head bowler ) despite his team notching only a single win. A Solid No. 2 leaps 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, while Recreation plunges 2 spots to 4th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Bowlkake sparred with The Belt Strikes Back. Regardless of the star power of Justin Strelow with his above-average 558 series, Bowlkake accomplished only 1 win against the Belt. Conversely, Demond Robinson dominated the Belt with his above-average 572 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bowlkake drops 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Belt remains in 3rd.
Bowlers slipping under the velvet rope in front of The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (267), Bob Brunker (203), Demond Robinson (211), Ken M. Wilson (224), and Nik Domann (246)

Angela Bradford claimed the season's women's high series with her 541. In addition, Bill Krejci nabbed this season's men's high game with his 267.
The 267 rolled by Bill Krejci is the new 2nd-best game in league history!
The 541 rolled by Angela Bradford is the new 10th-best women's series in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Bill Krejci rolled his ass to the top of Division 1, while Jason Carpio trounced Division 2. Amanda Schulte conquered Division 3, and Ray Haynes eradicated Division 4. In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy leads Division 1; Jason Carpio runs the show in Division 2; Mike Killion, Janelle (Laube) Lamar, and Amanda Schulte lead Division 3 in a tie; and Ray Haynes tops Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 3rd-place The Belt Strikes Back (hcp 14) will share a couple of pitchers with 4th-place Recreation Intoxication. The Belt is expected to perform well and sweep the series; while Recreation is forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 6th-place Bowlkake will chill with 5th-place A Solid No. 2 (estimated hcp 68). Bowlkake might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while No. 2 ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place Paul Hamms will match wits with 7th-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers (hcp 12). The Hamms will likely roll decently, but split the series with the Ninjas; while the Ninjas will probably raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 8th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen (hcp 70) will roll against 1st-place Ashley Razabacks. Die Schlag-Maschinen is predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Razabacks are anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
