A stagnated ninth week of Fall 2002 resulted in absolutely no movement in the standings. One bowler set a new personal best series. Sharon Turner picked up this week's high game (175) and series (504) for the women. As for the men, Ken M. Wilson snagged this week's high game with a 211, and high series was earned by Bill Krejci with a 591. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Team 6 chucked gutter balls with Pop Gunns. Though featuring Nik Domann with his spectacular 493 series, Team 6 got swept by Pop Gunns. In the midst of this, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Bill Krejci mastered Pop Gunns with his miraculous 591 as they swept the competition. Team 6 remains in 4th place, while Pop Gunns remain in 3rd.

On lanes 19 & 20: UnaBowlers waged a heated competition against GRRR. With the strength of Justin Strelow with his 446 series, the UnaBowlers split the series with GRRR. In the meantime, Sharon Turner called the shots for GRRR with her wondrous 504 as they matched their opponent in wins. UnaBowlers remains in 5th place, while GRRR remains in 6th.

Finally, down on lanes 21 & 22: Team 5 shared a few beers with Top Guns. With top billing by David Parre with his 491 series, Team 5 collected 3 wins against Top Guns. Simultaneously, Bob Brunker commanded Top Guns with his 530 despite his team notching only a single win. Team 5 remains in 2nd place, while Top Guns remain in 1st.
