The tweltfh week of Fall 2008 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Jennifer Seefeldt landed this week's high game for the women with a 195, and women's high series was bagged by Freda Schroeder with a 518. As for the men, Cory Chorpenning earned this week's high game (262) and series (627). Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Dios Mios had a rendezvous with Bad Newz Kennels. Despite being led by Bill Krejci with his 516 series, Dios Mios accomplished only 1 win against the Kennels. Meanwhile, Freda Schroeder dominated the Kennels with her above-average 518 as her team took the series with 3 wins. Dios Mios remains in 3rd place, while the Kennels move 1 spot to 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty alternated splits with WWJB. Highlighting the skills of Will Jeter with his 458 series, Spare The Rod collected 3 wins against WWJB. As for the opposition, Justin Wehrman showed off in WWJB with his 414 despite his team notching only a single win. Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty remains in 7th place, while WWJB remains in 10th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Chico's Bail Bonds did battle with Is This Billable?. Blessed by Carl Goetz with his 557 series, Chico's collected 3 wins against Is This Billable?. On the other half of the score sheet, Ryan Doll shined in Is This Billable? with his above-average 613 despite his team notching only a single win. Chico's Bail Bonds remains in 2nd place, while Is This Billable? sinks 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Dave and the Wingers accepted a challenge by Ain't No Sh!t. Demonstrating the prowess of Rob Kaszuba with his 447 series, the Wingers split the series with Ain't No Sh!t. Concurrently, Cory Chorpenning ruled Ain't No Sh!t with his 627 as they matched their opponent in wins. Dave and the Wingers remains in 9th place, while Ain't No Sh!t remains in 1st.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Bowl Movement deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Livin' On A Spare. Featuring trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Carter Collins and his amazing 537 series, Bowl Movement collected 3 wins against Livin' On A Spare. On the adjacent lane, Tom Finley laid down the law in Livin' On A Spare with his wondrous 519 despite his team notching only a single win. Bowl Movement remains in 6th place, while Livin' On A Spare remains in 8th.

A new
personal high game was set tonight by Jennifer Seefeldt (195, previous best 194). In addition, a new
personal best series was rolled by Tom Finley (519, previous best 465).

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz creamed Division 1, while Chris Lewis walloped Division 2. Carter Collins trounced Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Dave Winger came closest). 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: Carl Goetz leads Division 1; Aubrey Moren reigns over Division 2; Carter Collins is in the driver's seat in Division 3; and Lindsay Jamis dominates Division 4.
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 19&20, 10th-place WWJB (hcp 18) will throw some gutter balls with 9th-place Dave and the Wingers. WWJB is expected to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Wingers are forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 5th-place Is This Billable? will match wits with 3rd-place Dios Mios (hcp 6). Is This Billable? might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Dios Mios; while Dios Mios ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Livin' On A Spare (hcp 52) will battle 7th-place Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty. Livin' On A Spare will likely roll decently, yet still manage to get swept; while Spare The Rod will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 4th-place Bad Newz Kennels will test their mettle against 6th-place Bowl Movement (hcp 100). The Kennels might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Bowl Movement ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 1st-place Ain't No Sh!t will meet with 2nd-place Chico's Bail Bonds (hcp 84). Ain't No Sh!t is predicted to roll a little low and get swept; while Chico's are anticipated to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
*(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!)
