We are now halfway through the Fall 2009 season, so time is running out for those teams who want a shot at the championship to position themselves. The eighth week saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Andee Weinfurt picked up this week's high game (171) and series (423) for the women. As for the men, David Codding and Ryan Doll both tied for this week's high game with a 244, and high series was earned by Ryan Doll with a 654. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 19 & 20: No Pinheads couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of BOWLSH!T. Demonstrating the prowess of Corey Weinfurt with his 519 series, No Pinheads split the series with BOWLSH!T. Conversely, Kelly Sands oversaw BOWLSH!T with his terrific 488 as they matched their opponent in wins. No Pinheads remains in 2nd place, while BOWLSH!T remains in 8th.

On lanes 21 & 22: Quick Release celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with BILFs. Topped by #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Ryan Doll and his stunning 654 series, Quick Release collected 3 wins against BILFs. On the other side, Derrick Grimpo reigned supreme in BILFs with his phenomenal 454 despite his team notching only a single win. Quick Release remains in 3rd place, while BILFs remain in 4th.

On lanes 23 & 24: Chicks With Balls faced off against Rollin' J's. Though featuring Andrea Caudillo with her below-average 406 series, the Chicks managed only 1.5 wins against Rollin' J's. While that was going down, David Parre showed off in Rollin' J's with his above-average 554 as his team took the series with 2.5 wins. Chicks With Balls remains in 9th place, while Rollin' J's remain in 7th.

On lanes 25 & 26: Sweep The Leg, Johnny alternated between bowling and dry humping Split Happens. With the strength of David Codding with his above-average 651 series, Sweep The Leg celebrated a clean sweep over Split Happens. Countering this, Ryan Simonet guided Split Happens with his 434 despite his team getting swept. Sweep The Leg, Johnny remains in 1st place, while Split Happens remain in 10th.

Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Ebowla sparred with WWJB. Notwithstanding the leadership of Zach Frank with his astounding 456 series, Ebowla accomplished only 1 win against WWJB. Meanwhile, Most Valuable Bowler Eric Summers called the shots for WWJB with his dramatic 437 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Ebowla drops 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while WWJB moves 1 spot to 5th.
