Week #7 is now in the books and every team has faced off against one another. We've seen big games, win streaks, and come-from-behind victories as well as subpar scores, surprising losing streaks, and games lost with the final throw of the 10th frame. All in all, we've had your typical first half of a season leading up to next week's position round. Ready to see how the stage has been set? Read on...In the first matchup of the evening, out of sorts Split It & Hit It took on the recently revitalized UpgrayeDD. After a narrow Game #1 victory by Split It – led this week by shoe-destroying Dennis Blake and his 424 series – the UpgrayeDD collective fired on all cylinders to reverse this trend and stormed back to take series 3-1. Led by Josh Robison and his 405 series, Up take their wins but remain in 7th. Split It, now at 7-21 for the season, remain in 8th place. The two teams will face one another in next week's position round.On Lanes 43 & 44, reigning champs Bowltron looked to garner four easy wins against the Twerking Balls but things didn't quite work out as they planned. After easily taking Game #1 behind anchor Ryan Doll's 581 series, 'tron stalled out over the next two games – including dropping Game #3 by a mere six pins. Total pins ended up going to Bowltron to split the series at 2-2. Lead off bowler Jake Parrott led the Twerkers with his 446 series. Despite the wins, neither team moved in the league standings with Bowltron remain in 4th and Twerking Balls staying in 6th place.When the season began, Pinterest looked to win a title. If the second half of their season is anything like their first, it's a foregone conclusion. Simply put, these guys are on fire. This week's victims were Schwetty Balls, which they pushed aside to take a 3-1 matchup victory and incurred only their fourth loss of the entire season. Led this week by Ian Goetz and his 572 series, Pinterest has put up one of the ten best first half series of all time no matter what happens next week. Schwetty's Angela Bradford and her team-leading 535 series caused the lone loss for Pinterest of the night. Pinterest remains in 1st while Schwetty drops one spot into 3rd place.As he typically does, Phil Schroeder of The Finger Holes tends to bring his A-game as the season progresses. The proof resides in the fact that he was this week's Most Valuable Bowler as well as the #1 Power Ranked bowler in a 4-game rout of hapless Mark It Zero. Anchor Aubrey Moren led the F-Holes with a 605 series (Phil ended with a 590). Kody Karnes' 614 series led the entire league but his team continues to lose, extending their losing streak to 12 and debuting at 25th on a list that they'd rather not be on. Mark It Zero remains in 5th while The Finger Holes manage to be the only team to climb in the league standings at all, clawing their way up to 2nd place. The Tournament of Champions results are in and here's how the divisions currently sit:Division 1 = Ian Goetz (13), Seth Gunderson (9)Division 2 = Phil Schroeder (12), Scott Murdock (9)Division 3 = Rob Kaszuba (8), Josh Robison (7)Division 4 = Michael Gordon (12), Michael Smith (9)Bowlers knowing it'll be a while before Ken and his new ball show up in The 200 Club include: Angela Bradford (226), Aubrey Moren (223), Ian Goetz (211), Jonathan Vigliaturo (206), Kody Karnes (242), Phil Schroeder (216, 206), Rob Kaszuba (204), Ryan Doll (211), and Seth Gunderson (211, 204). See you next Tuesday!
