The Spring 2006 position round is now history, and and the championship will be on us before we know it! The eighth week saw one team climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Three bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder landed this week's high game for the women with a 156, and women's high series was bagged by Andrea Wilson with a 425. As for the men, Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (299) and series (675). Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! accepted a challenge by Split Happens. Regardless of the star power of Seth Gunderson with his above-average 556 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against Split Happens. Concurrently, James Long took the lead in Split Happens with his terrific 630 as his team took the series with 3 wins. I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! remains in 1st place, while Split Happens remain in 2nd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Bowl Movement had a rendezvous with Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Blessed by Ken M. Wilson with his stunning 675 series, Bowl Movement collected 3 wins against Yoohoo. Countering this, Stefan Miller dominated Yoohoo with his dramatic 573 despite his team notching only a single win. Bowl Movement remains in 3rd place, while Yoohoo sinks 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Yo Mama deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Bora Bora. Though reinforced by Andy Metzler with his 538 series, Yo Mama got swept by Bora Bora. As for the opposition, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) John Richardson called the shots for Bora Bora with his phenomenal 647 as they swept the competition. Yo Mama drops 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Bora Bora jumps 2 spots to 4th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Tatonka entered a showdown to the death with Guttersluts. Headlined by Will Jeter with his 426 series, Tatonka split the series with Guttersluts. In the midst of this, Travis Kleiner showed off in Guttersluts with his 356 as they matched their opponent in wins. Tatonka remains in 7th place, while Guttersluts remain in 8th.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Ken M. Wilson came closest), while Stefan Miller got the better of Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Freda Schroeder came closest), and Andrea Wilson eradicated 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. In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz holds the reins in Division 1; David Codding runs the show in Division 2; Tim Segraves tops Division 3; and Ryan Doll is in the driver's seat in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! will socialize with 8th-place Guttersluts (hcp 251). The Belt is expected to maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Guttersluts are forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 5th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo will throw some gutter balls with 4th-place Bora Bora (hcp 44). Yoohoo might roll a little low and get swept; while Bora Bora ought to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Tatonka (hcp 31) will challenge 2nd-place Split Happens. Tatonka will likely roll decently, yet still manage to just barely miss getting swept; while Split Happens will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 3rd-place Bowl Movement will chuck some balls with 6th-place Yo Mama (hcp 200). Bowl Movement is predicted to perform well and win the series; while Yo Mama is anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
