The fourth week of Fall 2008 saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (185) and series (496) for the women, while Cory Chorpenning earned this week's high game (243) and series (581) for the men. Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions also kicked off tonight, beginning of 13 weeks of one-on-one bowling excitement! Read on for all the rest of the details!

Although topped by Rob Kaszuba with his 417 series, the Wingers accomplished only 1 win against the Kennels. Concurrently, Freda Schroeder took the lead in the Kennels with her above-average 496 as her team took the series with 3 wins. Dave and the Wingers remains in 8th place, while the Kennels jump 2 spots to 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Livin' On A Spare spent a romantic evening with Chico's Bail Bonds. In spite of top-billing by Tom Finley with his above-average 398 series, Livin' On A Spare accomplished only 1 win against Chico's. Meanwhile, Carl Goetz oversaw Chico's with his staggering 566 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Livin' On A Spare remains in 9th place, while Chico's move 1 spot to 2nd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty alternated splits with Is This Billable?. Though reinforced by Andrea Caudillo with her below-average 369 series, Spare The Rod got swept by Is This Billable?. In the meantime, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Adam Messner reigned supreme in Is This Billable? with his terrific 488 as they swept the competition. Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty plummets 3 spots in the standings to 10th place, while Is This Billable? jumps 4 spots to 6th.
On lanes 25 & 26: WWJB traded lane malfunctions with Dios Mios. Even though highlighted by the skills of AJ Taylor with his above-average 395 series, WWJB got swept by Dios Mios. On the flipside, Bill Krejci shined in Dios Mios with his 522 as they swept the competition. WWJB plummets 3 spots in the standings to 7th place, while Dios Mios remain in 1st.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Bowl Movement waged a heated competition against Ain't No Sh!t. Headlined by Travis Kleiner with his breathtaking 493 series, Bowl Movement split the series with Ain't No Sh!t. On the other side, Cory Chorpenning guided Ain't No Sh!t with his 581 as they matched their opponent in wins. Bowl Movement remains in 5th place, while Ain't No Sh!t sinks 1 spot to 3rd.
Bowlers ducking past the bouncer at The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (201), Cory Chorpenning (243), Duncan Ferber (211), Kendall Kukowski (219), and Ryan Doll (206)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz won Division 1, while David Parre had his way with Division 2. Carter Collins creamed Division 3, and Adam Messner ruled 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 dominates Division 1; David Parre reigns over Division 2; Carter Collins governs Division 3; and Adam Messner runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 5th-place Bowl Movement (hcp 59) will tussle with 6th-place Is This Billable?. Bowl Movement is expected to perform well, but split the series with Is This Billable?; while Is This Billable? is forecast to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 1st-place Dios Mios (hcp 132) will socialize with 3rd-place Ain't No Sh!t. Dios Mios might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Ain't No Sh!t ought to see their team average take a dive while they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 7th-place WWJB (hcp 129) will compete against 2nd-place Chico's Bail Bonds. WWJB will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Chico's will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 10th-place Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty (hcp 56) will test their mettle against 4th-place Bad Newz Kennels. Spare The Rod might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Kennels ought to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 9th-place Livin' On A Spare (hcp 17) will chill with 8th-place Dave and the Wingers. Livin' On A Spare is predicted to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Wingers are anticipated to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
