The fifteenth week of Spring 2007 saw one team climb in the standings, while four teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (187) and series (535) for the women. As for the men, Carl Goetz snagged this week's high game with a 237, and high series was earned by Ken M. Wilson with a 626. Meanwhile, Tournament of Champions is officially down to its final eight bowlers, who will face each other next week competing for two cash prizes! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: T.B.D. matched wits with X9XX. Despite the strength of Nik Domann with his 520 series, T.B.D. got swept by X9XX. In the midst of this, Dennis Laube ruled X9XX with his above-average 507 as they swept the competition. T.B.D. remains in 10th place, while X9XX remains in 3rd.
On lanes 17 & 18: King Pins faced off against Unstoppabowl. Notwithstanding the leadership of Duncan Ferber with his 548 series, King Pins accomplished only 1 win against Unstoppabowl. On the adjacent lane, Kendall Kukowski reigned supreme in Unstoppabowl with his above-average 487 (along with kudos to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Greg Middleton, as well as #1 Head-to-Head ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. King Pins drop 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Unstoppabowl remains in 4th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Guttersluts kept grabbing the balls of Frickin' Ten Pin. Reinforced by John Boren with his above-average 595 series, Guttersluts collected 3 wins against Ten Pin. On the other side, Carl Goetz mastered Ten Pin with his 550 despite his team notching only a single win. Guttersluts remains in 1st place, while Ten Pin sinks 1 spot to 8th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Doll's Balls deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Churn and Burn. Starring Ryan Doll with his astonishing 590 series, Doll's Balls celebrated a clean sweep over Churn and Burn. . With Churn and Burn forfeiting, all Doll's Balls needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. Mission accomplished. Doll's Balls leap 4 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Churn and Burn sinks 1 spot to 9th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Oily Balls hung out with Those 4 Bowlers. Topped by #1 Head-to-Head Ken M. Wilson and his above-average 626 series, Oily Balls celebrated a clean sweep over 4 Bowlers. In the meantime, Seth Gunderson called the shots for 4 Bowlers with his 538 despite his team getting swept. Oily Balls remains in 2nd place, while 4 Bowlers sink 1 spot to 6th.
Bowlers paying far too much for well vodka at The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (202,221), Carl Goetz (237), Duncan Ferber (227), Greg Middleton (223), John Boren (232), John Richardson (213), Ken M. Wilson (204,236), Nik Domann (216), Ryan Doll (225), Scott Murdock (203), and Seth Gunderson (210)
A new personal high game was set tonight by Greg Middleton (223, previous best 186). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Chris Lewis (502, previous best 498).
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson creamed Division 1, while Freda Schroeder routed Division 2. Chris Lewis clobbered Division 3, and Andee Weinfurt creamed 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. Congratulations to our division champions! The following eight people will compete next week for the big prize!
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Guttersluts (hcp 48) will chill with 2nd-place Oily Balls. Guttersluts are expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Oily Balls are forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 3rd-place X9XX will challenge 4th-place Unstoppabowl (hcp 56). X9XX might maintain their current strength as they just barely miss sweeping the series; while Unstoppabowl ought to hold steady as they just barely avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 5th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 3) will compete against 6th-place Those 4 Bowlers. Doll's Balls will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while 4 Bowlers will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place King Pins (hcp 77) will meet with 8th-place Frickin' Ten Pin. King Pins might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Ten Pin; while Ten Pin ought to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 9th-place Churn and Burn will tussle with 10th-place T.B.D. (hcp 33). Churn and Burn is predicted to perform well and sweep the series; while T.B.D. is anticipated to drop their average a bit while endure a rough night.
