We are now halfway through the Fall 2007 season, so time is running out for those teams who want a shot at the championship to position themselves. The eighth week saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Janelle (Laube) Lamar landed this week's high game for the women with a 135, and women's high series was bagged by Jennifer Seefeldt with a 377. As for the men, Don Glasscock earned this week's high game (277) and series (691). Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Bad Newz Kennels shared a platter of cheese sticks with Your Mom. Showcasing Carl Goetz with his below-average 487 series, the Kennels celebrated a clean sweep over Your Mom.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Duncan Ferber made quick work of Division 1, while Tyler Hilker had his way with Division 2. David Parre eradicated Division 3, and Travis Kleiner shut down 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: Duncan Ferber dominates Division 1; Nik Domann tops Division 2; Phil Schroeder governs Division 3; and Travis Kleiner holds the reins in Division 4.
