Borderline Billiards in Bristol, TN welcomed The Jacoby Cues Great Lakes for stop # 5 of the 06-07 season in style. The room, which opened 9 months ago, is owned and operated by WPBA touring pro Janet Atwell and is definitely one of the top ten new rooms in the US. I usually say that if you’re within driving distance, check out the room. This room, however, is worthy of a special trip. Thirty-two players came from all over the US and Canada to compete for the WPBA Carolina Classic qualifier and $500.00 in added prize money.
Once again, the luck of the draw left the bottom half of the chart talent-laden, with matches like Julia Gabriel vs. Janet Atwell and Grace Nakamura vs. Kelly Fisher in the first round. Kelly Fisher, who is ranked #3 on the WPBA, showed how she earned her ranking by losing only six games in six sets to win the tournament with victories over Grace Nakamura, Janet Atwell, Julie Melman, Irene Henry & Buffy Jolie. No surprises there. The real story is the performance of two players who fought their way through this tough field to face each other in the semi-final match to decide who would win the qualifier spot, since touring pro Fisher was ineligible.
