We are now halfway through the Fall 2008 season, so time is running out for those teams who want a shot at the championship to position themselves. The eighth week saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (204) and series (537) for the women. As for the men, Ryan Doll snagged this week's high game with a 241, and high series was earned by Cory Chorpenning with a 688. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Chico's Bail Bonds chucked gutter balls with Dave and the Wingers. With the strength of Carl Goetz with his dazzling 614 series, Chico's celebrated a clean sweep over the Wingers. In the meantime, Rob Kaszuba took the lead in the Wingers with his below-average 402 despite his team getting swept. Chico's Bail Bonds remains in 2nd place, while the Wingers remain in 10th.
On lanes 21 & 22: WWJB spent some quality time with Bad Newz Kennels. In spite of top-billing by Justin Wehrman with his 403 series, WWJB got swept by the Kennels. On the flipside, Freda Schroeder mastered the Kennels with her dramatic 537 as they swept the competition. WWJB remains in 9th place, while the Kennels move 1 spot to 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Dios Mios alternated between bowling and dry humping Bowl Movement. In spite of the prowess of Bill Krejci with his 556 series, Dios Mios got swept by Bowl Movement. Concurrently, Travis Kleiner shined in Bowl Movement with his stupendous 562 (along with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Cory Chorpenning) as they swept the competition. Dios Mios remains in 3rd place, while Bowl Movement moves 1 spot to 6th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Ain't No Sh!t took turns kicking the ball return with Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty. Blessed by Most Valuable Bowler Cory Chorpenning and his spectacular 688 series, Ain't No Sh!t celebrated a clean sweep over Spare The Rod. While that was going down, Andrea Caudillo reigned supreme in Spare The Rod with her wondrous 469 despite her team getting swept. Ain't No Sh!t remains in 1st place, while Spare The Rod sinks 1 spot to 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Is This Billable? hung out with Livin' On A Spare.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz topped Division 1, while Aubrey Moren rolled his ass to the top of Division 2. Travis Kleiner clobbered Division 3, and Lindsay Jamis 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. In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz runs the show in Division 1; Aubrey Moren is in the driver's seat in Division 2; Travis Kleiner calls the shots for Division 3; and Amanda Zahnweh reigns over Division 4.
