The fifteenth week of Fall 2008 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (200) and series (496) for the women, while Duncan Ferber earned this week's high game (232) and series (591) for the men. Meanwhile, Tournament of Champions is officially down to its final eight bowlers, who will face each other next week competing for two cash prizes! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Ain't No Sh!t shared a platter of cheese sticks with Dios Mios. Although topped by Duncan Ferber with his 591 series, Ain't No Sh!t accomplished only 1 win against Dios Mios. Meanwhile, Bill Krejci took the lead in Dios Mios with his 544 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Lefty John Boren) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Ain't No Sh!t remains in 2nd place, while Dios Mios remain in 3rd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Dave and the Wingers alternated splits with Livin' On A Spare. Led by Rob Kaszuba with his 451 series, the Wingers collected 3 wins against Livin' On A Spare. Concurrently, Tom Finley dominated Livin' On A Spare with his below-average 340 despite his team notching only a single win. Dave and the Wingers remains in 8th place, while Livin' On A Spare remains in 9th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Is This Billable? traded lane malfunctions with Bowl Movement. Notwithstanding the leadership of Ryan Doll with his 536 series, Is This Billable? accomplished only 1 win against Bowl Movement. Simultaneously, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Travis Kleiner drew the spotlight in Bowl Movement with his marvelous 567 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Is This Billable? plummets 2 spots in the standings to 7th place, while Bowl Movement jumps 2 spots to 4th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Chico's Bail Bonds took turns kicking the ball return with WWJB. Headlined by Ken M. Wilson with his 577 series, Chico's collected 3 wins against WWJB. On the other half of the score sheet, Justin Wehrman guided WWJB with his below-average 393 despite his team notching only a single win. Chico's Bail Bonds remains in 1st place, while WWJB remains in 10th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Bad Newz Kennels waged a heated competition against Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty. Demonstrating the prowess of Freda Schroeder with her 496 series, the Kennels collected 3 wins against Spare The Rod. On the flipside, Janelle (Laube) Lamar laid down the law in Spare The Rod with her 385 despite her team notching only a single win. Bad Newz Kennels leap 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Spare The Rod plunges 2 spots to 6th.

A new
personal best series was rolled tonight by Travis Kleiner (567, previous best 562).
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Bill Krejci came closest), while Dennis Laube triumphed over his enemies in Division 2. Travis Kleiner had his way with Division 3, and Amanda Zahnweh won 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.
Congratulations to our division champions! The following eight people will compete next week for the big prize!
Division 1: Carl Goetz and Ryan Doll.
Division 2: Aubrey Moren and Chris Lewis.
Division 3: Carter Collins and Travis Kleiner.
Division 4: Lindsay Jamis
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Chico's Bail Bonds (hcp 78) will chuck some balls with 2nd-place Ain't No Sh!t. Chico's are expected to perform well and sweep the series; while Ain't No Sh!t is forecast to see their team average take a dive while they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Dios Mios will test their mettle against 4th-place Bowl Movement (hcp 38). Dios Mios might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Bowl Movement ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Bad Newz Kennels will face 6th-place Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty (hcp 63). The Kennels will likely roll decently and win the series; while Spare The Rod will probably raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Is This Billable? will tussle with 8th-place Dave and the Wingers (hcp 63). Is This Billable? might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Wingers ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
