The eleventh week of Fall 2009 saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Sarah Sauer landed this week's high game for the women with a 162, and women's high series was bagged by Andrea Caudillo with a 413. As for the men, Ryan Doll snagged this week's high game with a 240, and high series was earned by Ken M. Wilson with a 617. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Split Happens had a rendezvous with No Pinheads. Despite the strength of James Long with his above-average 536 series, Split Happens got swept by No Pinheads. Countering this, #1 Power-Ranked Aubrey Moren guided No Pinheads with his phenomenal 564 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Phil Schroeder) as they swept the competition. Split Happens remains in 10th place, while No Pinheads move 1 spot to 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Rollin' J's took turns kicking the ball return with BOWLSH!T. Though reinforced by Jerry Krall with his 382 series, Rollin' J's got swept by BOWLSH!T. In the midst of this, Travis Kleiner showed off in BOWLSH!T with his above-average 483 (with props to #1 Head-to-Head bowler ) as they swept the competition. Rollin' J's plummet 2 spots in the standings to 6th place, while BOWLSH!T moves 1 spot to 7th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Sweep The Leg, Johnny spent a romantic evening with BILFs. Showcasing Ken M. Wilson with his 617 series, Sweep The Leg collected 3 wins against BILFs. In the meantime, Scott Murdock called the shots for BILFs with his above-average 546 despite his team notching only a single win. Sweep The Leg, Johnny remains in 1st place, while BILFs remain in 5th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Chicks With Balls sparred with WWJB. Though featuring Andrea Caudillo with her below-average 413 series, the Chicks accomplished only 1 win against WWJB. Concurrently, Rich Foster oversaw WWJB with his above-average 479 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Chicks With Balls remains in 9th place, while WWJB jumps 2 spots to 4th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Quick Release faced off against Ebowla. Led by Ryan Doll with his 588 series, Quick Release collected 3 wins against Ebowla. Across the ball return, Jason Carpio laid down the law in Ebowla with his 552 despite his team notching only a single win. Quick Release drops 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while Ebowla sinks 1 spot to 8th.

A new
personal high game was set tonight by Aubrey Moren (222, previous best 213). In addition, a new
personal best series was rolled by Scott Murdock (546, previous best 539).

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Dennis Laube had his way with Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though Rob Kaszuba came closest). Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though AJ Hofmann came closest), and Alison Radke conquered Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Rob Kaszuba (Division ) came closest).
In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson and Dennis Laube reign over Division 1 in a tie; Aubrey Moren leads Division 2; AJ Hofmann runs the show in Division 3; and Amanda Duncan tops Division 4.
NEXT WEEK: - First, on lanes 19&20, 9th-place Chicks With Balls (hcp 49) will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place BILFs. The Chicks are expected to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while BILFs are forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 10th-place Split Happens (hcp 94) will tussle with 3rd-place Quick Release. Split Happens might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Quick Release ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place No Pinheads will share a couple of pitchers with 8th-place Ebowla (hcp 102). No Pinheads will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while Ebowla will probably hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place BOWLSH!T (hcp 181) will test their mettle against 1st-place Sweep The Leg, Johnny. BOWLSH!T might perform well, yet still manage to just barely miss getting swept; while Sweep The Leg ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 6th-place Rollin' J's (hcp 52) will face 4th-place WWJB. Rollin' J's are predicted to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while WWJB is anticipated to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
