Jenni fer Barretta and more than 48 of the world’s top female billiards players are scheduled to appear in Lincoln City, Ore., on Nov. 7-11 when the ladies of the Women's Professional Billiards Association (WPBA) compete in the Cuetec Cues Tour Championship at Chinook Winds.

This opportunity provides those who watch the matches on ESPN with the chance to see these ladies of the felt live and in person. Fisher beat out 2005 champion Ga Young Kim to earn the 2006 tour title in women’s billiards on Nov. 12, 2006. Kim missed her shot at a repeat when she narrowly missed the 8 ball and gave Fisher the opportunity for the win. Fisher took her time and made both balls to become the 2006 Cuetec Cues Tour Champion. The emotional final was almost too much for both players as tears came from both of them. “This is the most intense match I think 1 have ever played” remarked Fisher after her victory.
