The eleventh week of Spring 2008 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. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (189) and series (480) for the women, while Don Glasscock earned this week's high game (268) and series (666) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Dios Mios kept stealing sips of beer from You Don't Know Sh!t. Though reinforced by John Boren with his 530 series, Dios Mios got swept by Don't Know Sh!t. As for the opposition, Duncan Ferber commanded Don't Know Sh!t with his phenomenal 645 as they swept the competition. Dios Mios plummet 2 spots in the standings to 6th place, while Don't Know Sh!t remains in 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: ? matched wits with Dr. Strangelanes, Or How I Learned To Stop Opening And Earn The Belt. Notwithstanding the leadership of John Coleman with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 441 series, ? accomplished only 1 win against Dr. Strangelanes. Meanwhile, Seth Gunderson laid down the law in Dr. Strangelanes with his above-average 538 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Shaun Crockett) as his team took the series with 3 wins. ? leaps 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Dr. Strangelanes move 1 spot to 5th.

Conversely, Sarah Buchanan showed off in Britney with her commanding 409 despite her team notching only a single win. 3 Dudes and a Doll remains in 3rd place, while Britney sinks 1 spot to 10th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Bad Newz Kennels spent a romantic evening with Split Happens. In spite of the prowess of Dennis Laube with his 481 series, the Kennels accomplished only 1 win against Split Happens. Countering this, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Ryan Schooley oversaw Split Happens with his staggering 553 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bad Newz Kennels remains in 1st place, while Split Happens move 1 spot to 9th.

A new personal high game was set tonight by Brian Henderson (196, previous best 179). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Shaun Crockett (492, previous best 473). The 268 rolled by Don Glasscock is tied for the 6th-best game in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Duncan Ferber decimated Division 1, while Travis Kleiner won Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though John Richardson came closest), and Shaun Crockett cleaned up 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: Kendall Kukowski is in the driver's seat in Division 1; Dennis Laube leads Division 2; Kris Hiestand calls the shots for Division 3; and Aubrey Moren governs Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 3rd-place 3 Dudes and a Doll will tussle with 8th-place Ebowla (hcp 68). 3 Dudes and a Doll is expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Ebowla is forecast to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 6th-place Dios Mios (hcp 60) will throw some gutter balls with 1st-place Bad Newz Kennels. Dios Mios might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Kennels ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place You Don't Know Sh!t will roll against 9th-place Split Happens (hcp 160). Don't Know Sh!t will likely have a bit of an off night and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Split Happens will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 5th-place Dr. Strangelanes, Or How I Learned To Stop Opening And Earn The Belt (hcp 47) will match wits with 7th-place Sofa King Good. Dr. Strangelanes might perform well and win the series; while Sofa King ought to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
