The fifteenth week of Fall 2008 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (200) and series (496) for the women, while Duncan Ferber earned this week's high game (232) and series (591) for the men. Meanwhile, Tournament of Champions is officially down to its final eight bowlers, who will face each other next week competing for two cash prizes! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Ain't No Sh!t shared a platter of cheese sticks with Dios Mios. In spite of top-billing by Duncan Ferber with his 591 series, Ain't No Sh!t accomplished only 1 win against Dios Mios. On the flipside, Bill Krejci mastered Dios Mios with his 544 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Lefty John Boren) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Ain't No Sh!t remains in 2nd place, while Dios Mios remain in 3rd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Dave and the Wingers faced off against Livin' On A Spare. Highlighting the skills of Rob Kaszuba with his 451 series, the Wingers collected 3 wins against Livin' On A Spare. While that was going down, Tom Finley took the lead in Livin' On A Spare with his below-average 340 despite his team notching only a single win. Dave and the Wingers remains in 8th place, while Livin' On A Spare remains in 9th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Is This Billable? did battle with Bowl Movement. Although blessed by Ryan Doll with his 536 series, Is This Billable? accomplished only 1 win against Bowl Movement. On the other side, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Travis Kleiner dominated Bowl Movement with his dramatic 567 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Is This Billable? plummets 2 spots in the standings to 7th place, while Bowl Movement jumps 2 spots to 4th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Chico's Bail Bonds alternated between bowling and dry humping WWJB. Featuring Ken M. Wilson with his 577 series, Chico's collected 3 wins against WWJB. Conversely, Justin Wehrman reigned supreme in WWJB with his below-average 393 despite his team notching only a single win. Chico's Bail Bonds remains in 1st place, while WWJB remains in 10th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Bad Newz Kennels couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty. Demonstrating the prowess of Freda Schroeder with her 496 series, the Kennels collected 3 wins against Spare The Rod. On the other half of the score sheet, Janelle (Laube) Lamar shined in Spare The Rod with her 385 despite her team notching only a single win. Bad Newz Kennels leap 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Spare The Rod plunges 2 spots to 6th.
Bowlers ducking past the bouncer at The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (214), Cory Chorpenning (206), Duncan Ferber (232), Freda Schroeder (200), Ken M. Wilson (213), Kendall Kukowski (200), and Travis Kleiner (204,212)
A new personal best series was rolled tonight by Travis Kleiner (567, previous best 562).
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Bill Krejci came closest), while Dennis Laube vanquished Division 2. Travis Kleiner whipped Division 3, and Amanda Zahnweh 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. Congratulations to our division champions! The following eight people will compete next week for the big prize! Division 1: Carl Goetz and Ryan Doll. Division 2: Aubrey Moren and Chris Lewis. Division 3: Carter Collins and Travis Kleiner. Division 4: Lindsay Jamis
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Chico's Bail Bonds (hcp 78) will chuck some balls with 2nd-place Ain't No Sh!t. Chico's are expected to perform well and sweep the series; while Ain't No Sh!t is forecast to see their team average take a dive while they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Dios Mios will challenge 4th-place Bowl Movement (hcp 38). Dios Mios might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Bowl Movement ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Bad Newz Kennels will share a couple of pitchers with 6th-place Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty (hcp 63). The Kennels will likely roll decently and win the series; while Spare The Rod will probably raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Is This Billable? will match wits with 8th-place Dave and the Wingers (hcp 63). Is This Billable? might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Wingers ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 9th-place Livin' On A Spare will chill with 10th-place WWJB (hcp 4). Livin' On A Spare is predicted to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with WWJB; while WWJB is anticipated to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
