The fourteenth week of Spring 2007 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (182) and series (517) for the women. As for the men, Kendall Kukowski snagged this week's high game with a 236, and high series was earned by John Boren with a 588. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Doll's Balls entered a showdown to the death with Unstoppabowl. Even though highlighted by the skills of #1 Head-to-Head John Richardson and his above-average 526 series, Doll's Balls accomplished only 1 win against Unstoppabowl. Simultaneously, Kendall Kukowski drew the spotlight in Unstoppabowl with his miraculous 528 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Doll's Balls plummet 2 spots in the standings to 9th place, while Unstoppabowl remains in 4th.

On lanes 17 & 18: T.B.D. alternated between bowling and dry humping Frickin' Ten Pin. Though reinforced by Steve Kiernan with his 534 series, T.B.D. accomplished only 1 win against Ten Pin. Across the ball return, Carl Goetz shined in Ten Pin with his 574 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. remains in 10th place, while Ten Pin jumps 2 spots to 7th.

On lanes 19 & 20: Oily Balls matched wits with King Pins. With top billing by Ken M. Wilson with his 541 series, with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Deena Slinkard, Oily Balls collected 3 wins against King Pins. Concurrently, Duncan Ferber laid down the law in King Pins with his 545 despite his team notching only a single win. Oily Balls remains in 2nd place, while King Pins remain in 6th.

On lanes 21 & 22: Guttersluts kept grabbing the balls of Those 4 Bowlers. Featuring John Boren with his above-average 588 series, Guttersluts collected 3 wins against 4 Bowlers. In the midst of this, Seth Gunderson oversaw 4 Bowlers with his below-average 494 despite his team notching only a single win. Guttersluts remains in 1st place, while 4 Bowlers remain in 5th.

Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: X9XX traded lane malfunctions with Churn and Burn. Led by Stefan Miller with his 524 series, X9XX split the series with Churn and Burn. On the flipside, James Cholke showed off in Churn and Burn with his above-average 510 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Jamie Gibson) as they matched their opponent in wins. X9XX remains in 3rd place, while Churn and Burn remains in 8th.

Bowlers paying far too much for well vodka at The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (221), Duncan Ferber (212), John Boren (200,220), Ken M. Wilson (203), Kendall Kukowski (236), Phil Schroeder (207), and Steve Kiernan (201)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: John Boren staked a claim for the Iron Throne in Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though James Cholke came closest). John Richardson got the better of Division 3, and Shaun Crockett had his way with Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Ken M. Wilson (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: John Boren runs the show in Division 1; Seth Gunderson is in the driver's seat in Division 2; John Richardson calls the shots for Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski reigns over Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 15&16, 10th-place T.B.D. (hcp 119) will throw some gutter balls with 3rd-place X9XX. T.B.D. is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while X9XX is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
• Moving to lanes 17&18, 6th-place King Pins (hcp 68) will chuck some balls with 4th-place Unstoppabowl. King Pins might maintain their current strength as they just barely miss getting swept; while Unstoppabowl ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
• Then, over on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Guttersluts (hcp 8) will chill with 7th-place Frickin' Ten Pin. Guttersluts will likely have a bit of an off night and get swept; while Ten Pin will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
• Next up, on lanes 21&22, 9th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 8) will meet with 8th-place Churn and Burn. Doll's Balls might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Churn and Burn ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
• Finally, on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place Oily Balls will challenge 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers (hcp 73). Oily Balls are predicted to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with 4 Bowlers; while 4 Bowlers are anticipated to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
