We are now halfway through the Spring 2009 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. One bowler set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (202) and series (528) for the women, while Zach Frank earned this week's high game (213) and series (593) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

Chico's Bail Bonds leap 2 spots in the standings to 2nd place, while Wonder Friends remain in 8th.

Simultaneously, Janelle (Laube) Lamar ruled the Chicks with her 413 despite her team notching only a single win.

On the other side, Angela Bradford laid down the law in Schlitz with her above-average 528 as they matched their opponent in wins. Rule 6B remains in 3rd place, while Schlitz remains in 1st.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Duncan Ferber eradicated Division 1, while Rich DeYoung trounced Division 2. Adam Messner routed Division 3, and Zach Frank made quick work of 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 governs Division 1; Rich DeYoung and Phil Schroeder hold the reins in Division 2 in a tie; Chris Lewis dominates Division 3; and Zach Frank calls the shots for Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 9th-place WWJB (hcp 28) will hang out with 10th-place XXX. WWJB is expected to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while XXX is forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 5th-place Sh!t, Another Season will test their mettle against 1st-place Schlitz For Us, Splits For You (hcp 61). Another Season might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Schlitz ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Capt. Awesome & Wonder Friends (hcp 10) will chuck some balls with 6th-place Chicks With Balls. Wonder Friends will likely roll decently and win the series; while the Chicks will probably raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 4th-place No Pinheads will battle 3rd-place Rule 6B (hcp 53). No Pinheads might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Rule 6B ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
