The Fall 2004 position round is now history, and and the championship will be on us before we know it! The eighth week saw one team climb in the standings, while four teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Andee Weinfurt picked up this week's high game (183) and series (464) for the women, while Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (235) and series (592) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Recreation Intoxication couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of The Belt Strikes Back. In spite of top-billing by Bob Brunker with his above-average 550 series, Recreation accomplished only 1 win against the Belt. Countering this, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Nik Domann showed off in the Belt with his above-average 565 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Recreation Intoxication drops 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while the Belt sinks 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers traded lane malfunctions with Paul Hamms. Though reinforced by Dennis Laube with his 492 series, the Ninjas accomplished only 1 win against the Hamms. On the adjacent lane, Bill Krejci called the shots for the Hamms with his 550 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Mark McClendon) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers plummet 4 spots in the standings to 7th place, while the Hamms remain in 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Bowlkake had a delightful time with A Solid No. 2. Blessed by Ken M. Wilson with his above-average 592 series, Bowlkake split the series with No. 2. As for the opposition, Corey Weinfurt ruled No. 2 with his above-average 559 as they matched their opponent in wins. Bowlkake remains in 5th place, while No. 2 remains in 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Die Schlag-Maschinen spent a romantic evening with Ashley Razabacks. Notwithstanding the leadership of Amanda Schulte with her above-average 374 series, Die Schlag-Maschinen accomplished only 1 win against the Razabacks. Conversely, Stefan Paz took the lead in the Razabacks with his 447 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Die Schlag-Maschinen drops 1 spot in the standings to 8th place, while the Razabacks jump 7 spots to 1st.
