By now every team has bowled each other once, so next week is the Fall 2008 position round. But enough about next week, you came here to read about this week. The ninth week saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (188) and series (461) for the women, while Cory Chorpenning earned this week's high game (254) and series (681) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: WWJB couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Bowl Movement. In spite of the prowess of Eric Summers with his 334 series, WWJB got swept by Bowl Movement. On the other side, Patty Morrisey guided Bowl Movement with her above-average 366 as they swept the competition. WWJB drops 1 spot in the standings to 10th place, while Bowl Movement jumps 2 spots to 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Ain't No Sh!t spent some quality time with Livin' On A Spare. With the strength of Cory Chorpenning with his above-average 681 series, Ain't No Sh!t celebrated a clean sweep over Livin' On A Spare. Countering this, Lindsay Jamis reigned supreme in Livin' On A Spare with her stupendous 401 despite her team getting swept. Ain't No Sh!t remains in 1st place, while Livin' On A Spare sinks 1 spot to 8th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Dave and the Wingers took turns kicking the ball return with Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty. Regardless of the star power of Rob Kaszuba with his dazzling 508 series, the Wingers accomplished only 1 win against Spare The Rod. On the other half of the score sheet, Will Jeter ruled Spare The Rod with his 476 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Dave and the Wingers leap 1 spot in the standings to 9th place, while Spare The Rod remains in 5th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Bad Newz Kennels kept stealing sips of beer from Is This Billable?. In spite of top-billing by #1 Head-to-Head Dennis Laube and his astonishing 564 series, the Kennels got swept by Is This Billable?. On the flipside, Ryan Doll oversaw Is This Billable? with his above-average 609 (with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Ben Wetteborn) as they swept the competition. Bad Newz Kennels plummet 2 spots in the standings to 6th place, while Is This Billable? moves 1 spot to 7th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Chico's Bail Bonds deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Dios Mios. Although topped by Ken M. Wilson with his powerful 633 series, Chico's accomplished only 1 win against Dios Mios. In the midst of this, Bill Krejci took the lead in Dios Mios with his 549 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Lefty John Boren) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Chico's Bail Bonds remains in 2nd place, while Dios Mios remain in 3rd.

In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz holds the reins in Division 1; Aubrey Moren leads Division 2; Travis Kleiner runs the show in Division 3; and Amanda Cox Jeter dominates Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Ain't No Sh!t will throw some gutter balls with 2nd-place Chico's Bail Bonds (hcp 89). Ain't No Sh!t is expected to have the bottom drop out of their averages as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Chico's are forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Dios Mios will match wits with 4th-place Bowl Movement (hcp 56). Dios Mios might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bowl Movement ought to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty (hcp 67) will spend some quality time with 6th-place Bad Newz Kennels. Spare The Rod will likely roll decently, yet still manage to get swept; while the Kennels will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Is This Billable? will chill with 8th-place Livin' On A Spare (hcp 75). Is This Billable? might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Livin' On A Spare; while Livin' On A Spare ought to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 9th-place Dave and the Wingers will compete against 10th-place WWJB (hcp 13). The Wingers are predicted to perform well, but split the series with WWJB; while WWJB is anticipated to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
