The fifth week of Fall 2007 saw two teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Jennifer Seefeldt picked up this week's high game (176) and series (494) for the women, while Cory Chorpenning earned this week's high game (279) and series (676) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Dios Mios celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with The GameCox. Led by #1 Head-to-Head Bill Krejci and his above-average 627 series, Dios Mios collected 3 wins against the GameCox. Conversely, Jason Carpio showed off in the GameCox with his above-average 526 despite his team notching only a single win. Dios Mios remains in 3rd place, while the GameCox sinks 1 spot to 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Ebowla couldn't stop inappropriately groping Seriously Handicapped. Topped by Travis Kleiner with his above-average 429 series, Ebowla collected 3 wins against the Handicapped. In the meantime, Tyler Hilker mastered the Handicapped with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 397 despite his team notching only a single win. Ebowla leaps 2 spots in the standings to 7th place, while the Handicapped remains in 10th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Split Happens hung out with Bad Newz Kennels. Although blessed by Nick Allegri with his below-average 460 series, Split Happens accomplished only 1 win against the Kennels. While that was going down, Carl Goetz drew the spotlight in the Kennels with his 566 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Phil Schroeder) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Split Happens drop 1 spot in the standings to 8th place, while the Kennels remain in 2nd.
On lanes 25 & 26: Cannonbelt Run deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Seefeldt the Glasscock. In spite of top-billing by Seth Gunderson with his above-average 541 series, Cannonbelt accomplished only 1 win against the Glasscock. As for the opposition, Don Glasscock called the shots for the Glasscock with his 668 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Cannonbelt Run remains in 4th place, while the Glasscock remains in 1st.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Sh!t, I Don't Know traded lane malfunctions with Your Mom. Highlighting the skills of #1 Power-Ranked Cory Chorpenning and his amazing 676 series, I Don't Know collected 3 wins against Your Mom. On the adjacent lane, Ryan Doll ruled Your Mom with his 550 despite his team notching only a single win. Sh!t, I Don't Know leaps 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, while Your Mom sinks 1 spot to 9th.
Bowlers rolling into The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (228,212), Carl Goetz (224), Cory Chorpenning (279,207), Dennis Laube (200), Don Glasscock (265,210), Duncan Ferber (201,247), Jason Carpio (205), Ken M. Wilson (201), Phil Schroeder (210), Ryan Doll (210), and Scott Murdock (225)

The 279 rolled by Cory Chorpenning is tied for the 2nd-best game in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Steve Kiernan creamed Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though Nik Domann came closest). Seth Gunderson routed Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though John Kroenke came closest). Finally, Jason Carpio (Division 2) whipped this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Steve Kiernan and Duncan Ferber dominate Division 1 in a tie; Nik Domann holds the reins in Division 2; Jennifer Seefeldt and Seth Gunderson run the show in Division 3 in a tie; and Travis Kleiner leads Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 5th-place Sh!t, I Don't Know will hang out with 8th-place Split Happens (hcp 102). I Don't Know 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 21&22, 4th-place Cannonbelt Run will spend some quality time with 3rd-place Dios Mios (hcp 12). Cannonbelt might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Dios Mios ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 6th-place The GameCox will share a couple of pitchers with 10th-place Seriously Handicapped (hcp 71). The GameCox will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while the Handicapped will probably hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Ebowla (hcp 37) will challenge 9th-place Your Mom. Ebowla might perform well and sweep the series; while Your Mom ought to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 1st-place Seefeldt the Glasscock will battle 2nd-place Bad Newz Kennels (hcp 71). The Glasscock is predicted to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Kennels are anticipated to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
