The eleventh week of Fall 2009 saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Sarah Sauer landed this week's high game for the women with a 162, and women's high series was bagged by Andrea Caudillo with a 413. As for the men, Ryan Doll snagged this week's high game with a 240, and high series was earned by Ken M. Wilson with a 617. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Split Happens traded lane malfunctions with No Pinheads. While headlined by James Long with his above-average 536 series, Split Happens got swept by No Pinheads. On the other half of the score sheet, #1 Power-Ranked Aubrey Moren oversaw No Pinheads with his marvelous 564 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Phil Schroeder) as they swept the competition. Split Happens remains in 10th place, while No Pinheads move 1 spot to 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Rollin' J's chucked gutter balls with BOWLSH!T. Although blessed by Jerry Krall with his 382 series, Rollin' J's got swept by BOWLSH!T.

Sweep The Leg, Johnny remains in 1st place, while BILFs remain in 5th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Chicks With Balls couldn't stop inappropriately groping WWJB.

As for the opposition, Rich Foster showed off in WWJB with his above-average 479 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Chicks With Balls remains in 9th place, while WWJB jumps 2 spots to 4th.

In the meantime, Jason Carpio guided Ebowla with his 552 despite his team notching only a single win. Quick Release drops 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while Ebowla sinks 1 spot to 8th.

- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place No Pinheads will meet with 8th-place Ebowla (hcp 102). No Pinheads will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Ebowla will probably hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place BOWLSH!T (hcp 181) will chill with 1st-place Sweep The Leg, Johnny. BOWLSH!T might perform well, yet still manage to just barely miss getting swept; while Sweep The Leg ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
