CHINOOK WINDS CASINO RESORT
Top Female Professional Billiards
Players Return
National 9-Ball Championship Brings in Renowned Players
Jeanette Lee, Allison Fisher, Karen
Corr, and 60 more of the world’s top
female billiards players are coming to
Lincoln City, Ore.
On Nov. 10-14, the ladies of the
Women’s Professional Billiards Asso
ciation (WPBA) will compete in the
Cuetec Cues National 9-Ball Champion
ship at Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
The tension will be high and the
playing will be tough. But for diehard
fans, recent admirers, and those just
curious, this is an event that can’t be
missed. It provides those who watch the
matches on ESPN an opportunity to see
them live and in-person.
Last year, audience members were
on the edge of their seats as top player
Allison Fisher and fourth-ranked
Jeannette Lee battled it out to see who
would end the year as the WPBA 9-Ball
champion. As Fisher sank that last ball,
the crowd erupted in applause and she
remained No. 1 in the world.
This year, the quiet and intense Karen
Corr has made it to No. 2 and really
could give Fisher a tough match. And
with Jeanette Lee currently ranked No. 3
and Helena Thornfeldt as No. 4, who
will get to the finals is anyone's guess.
On Nov. 10 at 6:30 p.m., the Pro-
Am Celebrity Shootout will benefit My
Sister’s Place, a local shelter for women
and children. At this pay-to-play event,
members of the public can bid to play
against or with one of the ladies of
the WPBA.
But first, there’s a shootout between
ladies of the WPBA and invited celebrity
guests. All ticket and bid money collected
will be donated to My Sister’s Place.
Last year’s shootout raised nearly $6,000.

edy, Williams & Ree were nominated
