We are now halfway through the Fall 2007 season, so time is running out for those teams who want a shot at the championship to position themselves. The eighth week saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Janelle (Laube) Lamar landed this week's high game for the women with a 135, and women's high series was bagged by Jennifer Seefeldt with a 377. As for the men, Don Glasscock earned this week's high game (277) and series (691). Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Bad Newz Kennels entered a showdown to the death with Your Mom. Featuring Carl Goetz with his below-average 487 series, the Kennels celebrated a clean sweep over Your Mom. On the other half of the score sheet, Ryan Doll oversaw Your Mom with his below-average 476 despite his team getting swept. Bad Newz Kennels remains in 3rd place, while Your Mom remains in 9th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Split Happens chucked gutter balls with Seefeldt the Glasscock. Highlighting the skills of Most Valuable Bowler Nick Allegri and his above-average 524 series, Split Happens collected 3 wins against the Glasscock. Meanwhile, Don Glasscock shined in the Glasscock with his 691 despite his team notching only a single win. Split Happens leap 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while the Glasscock sinks 1 spot to 2nd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Ebowla accepted a challenge by Dios Mios. In spite of top-billing by Tom Finley with his amazing 420 series, Ebowla got swept by Dios Mios. On the flipside, #1 Power-Ranked Kris Hiestand laid down the law in Dios Mios with his outstanding 568 as they swept the competition. Ebowla drops 1 spot in the standings to 8th place, while Dios Mios move 1 spot to 1st.
On lanes 25 & 26: Seriously Handicapped celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Cannonbelt Run. Though reinforced by Tyler Hilker with his splendid 563 series, the Handicapped accomplished only 1 win against Cannonbelt. On the adjacent lane, Seth Gunderson commanded Cannonbelt with his below-average 476 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Seriously Handicapped remains in 10th place, while Cannonbelt remains in 4th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: The GameCox hung out with Sh!t, I Don't Know. Although topped by Jason Carpio with his below-average 475 series, the GameCox got swept by I Don't Know. In the midst of this, #1 Head-to-Head Duncan Ferber ruled I Don't Know with his commanding 676 as they swept the competition. The GameCox drops 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while I Don't Know moves 1 spot to 5th.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Duncan Ferber mopped up Division 1, while Tyler Hilker claimed victory in Division 2. David Parre spanked Division 3, and Travis Kleiner routed Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about this bracket as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Duncan Ferber runs the show in Division 1; Nik Domann dominates Division 2; Phil Schroeder governs Division 3; and Travis Kleiner is in the driver's seat in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 7th-place Split Happens (hcp 40) will face 1st-place Dios Mios. Split Happens are expected to perform well, but split the series with Dios Mios; while Dios Mios are forecast to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 10th-place Seriously Handicapped (hcp 167) will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place Sh!t, I Don't Know. The Handicapped might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while I Don't Know ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 9th-place Your Mom (hcp 68) will challenge 4th-place Cannonbelt Run. Your Mom will likely have a bit of an off night and get swept; while Cannonbelt will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place Seefeldt the Glasscock will hang out with 6th-place The GameCox (hcp 147). The Glasscock might roll a little low, but split the series with the GameCox; while the GameCox ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 3rd-place Bad Newz Kennels will spend some quality time with 8th-place Ebowla (hcp 131). The Kennels are predicted to perform well and sweep the series; while Ebowla is anticipated to raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
