The Fall 2007 position round is now history, and and the championship will be on us before we know it! The tenth week saw two teams climb in the standings, while one team slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (182) and series (512) for the women, while Cory Chorpenning earned this week's high game (227) and series (633) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Seefeldt the Glasscock tussled with Dios Mios. Headlined by Don Glasscock with his below-average 596 series, the Glasscock split the series with Dios Mios. Meanwhile, Steve Kiernan reigned supreme in Dios Mios with his 539 as they matched their opponent in wins. Seefeldt the Glasscock remains in 1st place, while Dios Mios remain in 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Bad Newz Kennels had some one-on-one time with Cannonbelt Run. Regardless of the star power of Freda Schroeder with her above-average 512 series, the Kennels accomplished only 1 win against Cannonbelt. In the meantime, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Nik Domann ruled Cannonbelt with his terrific 630 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bad Newz Kennels plummet 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Cannonbelt moves 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Sh!t, I Don't Know sparred with Split Happens. Blessed by Cory Chorpenning with his above-average 633 series, I Don't Know collected 3 wins against Split Happens. On the other side, Nick Allegri commanded Split Happens with his below-average 469 despite his team notching only a single win. Sh!t, I Don't Know leaps 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Split Happens remain in 6th.
On lanes 25 & 26: The GameCox kept grabbing the balls of Ebowla. Highlighting the skills of Jason Carpio with his 499 series, the GameCox split the series with Ebowla. Countering this, Travis Kleiner took the lead in Ebowla with his above-average 450 as they matched their opponent in wins. The GameCox remains in 7th place, while Ebowla remains in 8th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Your Mom alternated splits with Seriously Handicapped. In spite of top-billing by Ryan Doll with his 552 series, Your Mom accomplished only 1 win against the Handicapped. Concurrently, Tyler Hilker laid down the law in the Handicapped with his 526 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Amy Goodnow) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Your Mom remains in 9th place, while the Handicapped remains in 10th.
Bowlers who lied to their significant other claiming bowling was running long then went out for after-bowling drinks at The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (200), Brian Eye (205,211), Cory Chorpenning (215,227), Don Glasscock (205), Duncan Ferber (201), Ken M. Wilson (202,203), Nik Domann (221,218), Phil Schroeder (201), and Ryan Doll (201)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Cory Chorpenning topped Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though Tyler Hilker came closest). Dennis Laube spanked Division 3, and Ryan Simonet dominated Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Tyler Hilker (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: Duncan Ferber governs Division 1; Nik Domann runs the show in Division 2; Dennis Laube and David Parre are both in the driver's seat (on each other's laps?) in Division 3 in a tie; and Travis Kleiner calls the shots for Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 3&4, 2nd-place Dios Mios will battle 9th-place Your Mom (hcp 72). Dios Mios are expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Your Mom is forecast to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 3rd-place Cannonbelt Run (hcp 33) will challenge 5th-place Bad Newz Kennels. Cannonbelt might perform well and win the series; while the Kennels ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 10th-place Seriously Handicapped (hcp 208) will match wits with 1st-place Seefeldt the Glasscock. The Handicapped will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Glasscock will probably drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 8th-place Ebowla (hcp 160) will face 4th-place Sh!t, I Don't Know. Ebowla might perform well, but split the series with I Don't Know; while I Don't Know ought to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 6th-place Split Happens will chuck some balls with 7th-place The GameCox (hcp 8). Split Happens are predicted to perform well and just barely win the series; while the GameCox is anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
