The fifteenth week of Spring 2007 saw one team climb in the standings, while four teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (187) and series (535) for the women. As for the men, Carl Goetz snagged this week's high game with a 237, and high series was earned by Ken M. Wilson with a 626. 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!

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson walloped Division 1, while Freda Schroeder shut down Division 2. Chris Lewis got the better of Division 3, and Andee Weinfurt 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. Congratulations to our division champions! The following eight people will compete next week for the big prize!
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Guttersluts (hcp 48) will spend some quality time with 2nd-place Oily Balls. Guttersluts are expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Oily Balls are forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.

- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 5th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 3) will share a couple of pitchers with 6th-place Those 4 Bowlers.

- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place King Pins (hcp 77) will battle 8th-place Frickin' Ten Pin. King Pins might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Ten Pin; while Ten Pin ought to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
