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 tussled with The GameCox. Reinforced by #1 Head-to-Head Bill Krejci and his above-average 627 series, Dios Mios collected 3 wins against the GameCox. On the other side, Jason Carpio drew the spotlight 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 deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Seriously Handicapped. Starring Travis Kleiner with his above-average 429 series, Ebowla collected 3 wins against the Handicapped. While that was going down, Tyler Hilker showed off in 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 took turns kicking the ball return with Bad Newz Kennels. Despite the strength of Nick Allegri with his below-average 460 series, Split Happens accomplished only 1 win against the Kennels. On the adjacent lane, Carl Goetz mastered 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 accepted a challenge by Seefeldt the Glasscock. In spite of the prowess of Seth Gunderson with his above-average 541 series, Cannonbelt accomplished only 1 win against the Glasscock. On the flipside, Don Glasscock took the lead in 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 spent some quality time with Your Mom. Topped by #1 Power-Ranked Cory Chorpenning and his astonishing 676 series, I Don't Know collected 3 wins against Your Mom. In the midst of this, Ryan Doll commanded 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 ducking past the bouncer at 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)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Cory Chorpenning (279, previous best 247). In addition, new personal best series were rolled by Bill Krejci (627, previous best 621) and Cory Chorpenning (676, previous best 648). Adding to the excitement, the 279 rolled by Cory Chorpenning is this season's new high game for men.
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 eradicated Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though Nik Domann came closest). Seth Gunderson shut down Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though John Kroenke came closest). Finally, Jason Carpio (Division 2) walloped this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Steve Kiernan and Duncan Ferber lead Division 1 in a tie; Nik Domann tops Division 2; Jennifer Seefeldt and Seth Gunderson run the show in Division 3 in a tie; and Travis Kleiner reigns over 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 battle 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 chuck some balls 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 meet with 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 throw some gutter balls with 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.
