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!

In the meantime, Aubrey Moren oversaw No Pinheads with his 519 despite his team notching only a single win. WWJB leaps 1 spot in the standings to 9th place, while No Pinheads plunge 2 spots to 4th.

Adam Messner made quick work of Division 3, and Zach Frank vanquished 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 calls the shots for Division 1; Rich DeYoung and Phil Schroeder top Division 2 in a tie; Chris Lewis is in the driver's seat in Division 3; and Zach Frank holds the reins in Division 4.

- First, on lanes 19&20, 9th-place WWJB (hcp 28) will battle 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 hang out with 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 challenge 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 chill with 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.
