TBD remains in 9th place, while the Guttersluts remain in 10th.

Bowlers slipping into The 200 Club include: James Long (237), Ken M. Wilson (212), Stefan Miller (200), and Thomas Lin (226)

• Moving to lanes 17&18, 1st-place Split Happens will share a couple of pitchers with 8th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 42).

• Then, over on lanes 19&20, 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 166) will meet with 3rd-place New Balls, Old Rack. The Guttersluts will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Old Rack will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.

We are now halfway through the Fall 2006 season, so time is running out for those teams who want a shot at the championship to position themselves. The eighth week saw four teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Angela Bradford landed this week's high game for the women with a 176, and women's high series was bagged by Freda Schroeder with a 447. As for the men, Tim Segraves snagged this week's high game with a 223, and high series was earned by David Codding with a 560. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Hez-Bowl-lah kept stealing sips of beer from I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter. Although topped by Rich DeYoung with his 487 series, Hez-Bowl-lah accomplished only 1 win against Not Gutter. In the midst of this, John Boren shined in Not Gutter with his 488 (along with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Dennis Laube) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Hez-Bowl-lah drops 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, while Not Gutter moves 1 spot to 7th.

Reinforced by Dennis Laube, Tim Segraves with their 509 series, with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Dennis Laube, Bowlkake2 collected 3 wins against the Old Rack. On the other side, Ken M. Wilson called the shots for the Old Rack with his below-average 489 despite his team notching only a single win. Bowlkake2 leaps 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while the Old Rack remains in 1st.

On lanes 19 & 20: TBD couldn't stop inappropriately groping Split Happens. Despite being led by David Parre with his 459 series, TBD got swept by Split Happens. Meanwhile, Nick Allegri took the lead in Split Happens with his 493 as they swept the competition. TBD plummets 2 spots in the standings to 9th place, while Split Happens move 1 spot to 2nd.

On lanes 21 & 22: Guttersluts deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of All Belts Are Off. With the Guttersluts forfeiting, all the Belt needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, David Codding drew the spotlight in the Belt with his 560 despite his team notching only a single win. Guttersluts remains in 10th place, while the Belt sinks 1 spot to 3rd.

Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Manute Bowl entered a showdown to the death with Frickin' Ten Pins. With top billing by Travis Kleiner with his above-average 415 series, Manute Bowl split the series with Frickin' Ten Pins. Across the ball return, Carl Goetz commanded Frickin' Ten Pins with his 527 as they matched their opponent in wins. Manute Bowl remains in 6th place, while Frickin' Ten Pins move 1 spot to 8th.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Stefan Miller triumphed over his enemies in Division 1, while Dennis Laube ruled Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though David Parre came closest), and Travis Kleiner conquered 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: Ken M. Wilson runs the show in Division 1; Rich DeYoung is in the driver's seat in Division 2; Scott Murdock tops Division 3; and Travis Kleiner calls the shots Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 15&16, 4th-place Bowlkake2 will hang out with 2nd-place Split Happens (hcp 54). Bowlkake2 is expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Split Happens are forecast to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
• Moving to lanes 17&18, 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 148) will tussle with 8th-place Frickin' Ten Pins. The Guttersluts might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Frickin' Ten Pins ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
• Then, over on lanes 19&20, 7th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 135) will test their mettle against 3rd-place All Belts Are Off. Not Gutter will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
• Next up, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place New Balls, Old Rack will meet with 6th-place Manute Bowl (hcp 108). The Old Rack might maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Manute Bowl ought to raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
• Finally, on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Hez-Bowl-lah will socialize with 9th-place TBD (hcp 45). Hez-Bowl-lah is predicted to perform well and sweep the series; while TBD is anticipated to raise their average even as they endure a rough night.

• Moving to lanes 17&18, 5th-place Bowlkake2 (hcp 26) will socialize with 1st-place New Balls, Old Rack. Bowlkake2 might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Old Rack ought to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.

• Finally, on lanes 23&24, 6th-place Manute Bowl (hcp 86) will battle 9th-place Frickin' Ten Pins. Manute Bowl is predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Frickin' Ten Pins are anticipated to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.

The sixth week of Fall 2006 saw two teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (202) and series (553) for the women, while Pete Forster earned this week's high game (237) and series (608) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Frickin' Ten Pins deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Bowlkake2. Demonstrating the prowess of Carl Goetz with his above-average 536 series, Frickin' Ten Pins split the series with Bowlkake2. On the other side, Dennis Laube dominated Bowlkake2 with his 479 as they matched their opponent in wins. Frickin' Ten Pins plummet 2 spots in the standings to 9th place, while Bowlkake2 plunges 2 spots to 8th.

On lanes 17 & 18: All Belts Are Off couldn't stop inappropriately groping Split Happens. In spite of top-billing by David Codding with his below-average 539 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against Split Happens. While that was going down, Most Valuable Bowler James Long mastered Split Happens with his outstanding 537 as his team took the series with 3 wins. All Belts Are Off remains in 3rd place, while Split Happens remain in 2nd.

On lanes 19 & 20: Manute Bowl shared a few beers with Guttersluts. Showcasing Travis Kleiner with his amazing 420 series, Manute Bowl collected 3 wins against the Guttersluts. In the midst of this, Erin deVries ruled the Guttersluts with her 327 despite her team notching only a single win. Manute Bowl leaps 2 spots in the standings to 7th place, while the Guttersluts remain in 10th.

On lanes 21 & 22: TBD hung out with I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter. Reinforced by David Parre with his above-average 511 series, TBD collected 3 wins against Not Gutter. Countering this, Ryan Doll oversaw Not Gutter with his below-average 423 despite his team notching only a single win. TBD leaps 3 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Not Gutter sinks 1 spot to 6th.

Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: New Balls, Old Rack waged a heated competition against Hez-Bowl-lah. Headlined by Ken M. Wilson with his above-average 600 series, with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler James Long, the Old Rack celebrated a clean sweep over Hez-Bowl-lah. In the meantime, Pete Forster drew the spotlight in Hez-Bowl-lah with his 608 despite his team getting swept. New Balls, Old Rack remains in 1st place, while Hez-Bowl-lah remains in 4th.

Bowlers slipping into The 200 Club include: Angela Bradford (202), Carl Goetz (213), David Codding (200), John Richardson (214), Ken M. Wilson (230,224), Pat Searcy (201), and Pete Forster (237,203)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson walloped Division 1, while Freda Schroeder triumphed over her enemies in Division 2. David Parre eradicated Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Nick Crofoot came closest). Finally, Travis Kleiner (Division 4) shut down this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson runs the show in Division 1; Rich DeYoung calls the shots Division 2; David Parre and Phil Schroeder hold the reins in Division 3 in a tie; and Andy McLeod dominates Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 15&16, 5th-place TBD (hcp 108) will chill with 3rd-place All Belts Are Off. TBD is expected to perform well, but split the series with the Belt; while the Belt is forecast to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
• Moving to lanes 17&18, 7th-place Manute Bowl will chuck some balls with 6th-place I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (hcp 6). Manute Bowl might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Not Gutter ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
• Then, over on lanes 19&20, 1st-place New Balls, Old Rack will test their mettle against 9th-place Frickin' Ten Pins (hcp 34). The Old Rack will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Frickin' Ten Pins will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
• Next up, on lanes 21&22, 2nd-place Split Happens (hcp 32) will face 4th-place Hez-Bowl-lah. Split Happens might perform well and win the series; while Hez-Bowl-lah ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
• Finally, on lanes 23&24, 10th-place Guttersluts (hcp 152) will socialize with 8th-place Bowlkake2. The Guttersluts are predicted to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bowlkake2 is anticipated to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
