Metro Sportz Bar
$500 Added WPBA Qualifier Presented by J. Pechauer Custom Cues
Thirty three women came to play AWBT’s $500 Added WPBA Qualifier at Metro
Sportz Bar! This event was a qualifier for the WPBA San Diego Classic event in
Alpine California presented by J. Pechauer Custom Cues.
The top 8 emerged and the first matches called on Sunday were: Kristin Haney
vs. Madhatter Susan Mello and Edwidge Cavanna vs. Line Kjorsvik all playing on
the A-side. The B-side started with Holly Sholes vs. Susan Wilbur and Susan
Williams vs. Justine Bishop.
The hot-seat match was between Kristin Haney and Line (Prounced Leena)
Kjorsvik (Pronounced Shooshvik) from Norway. Line beat Kristin by a
commanding 7 to 0 victory.
Kristin went on to play Justine Bishop in the semi final match. Justine won the
match by a 7 to 5 victory.
With Kristin eliminated from the tournament, Line Kjorsvik won the qualifier spot
before she even had to play the final match.
Justine went on to play Line for the final match. Since it was a true double
elimination event, Justine would need to beat Line in two sets of a race to 4. As
with all of her other matches, Line dominated the match and won with the score
of 7 to 1. Congratulations Line! We’ll all be routing for you during April! We
hope to see you again. See final points standings for prize money payouts!
Eighteen women came back on Sunday to play in the free second chance
tournament! Congratulations to Kathleen Lawless for first place and Noel Rima for
2nd place! See final points standings for prize money payouts!
On Sunday, Mike Logan from Phoenix donated $20 to the first player to snap the
9 on the break! Trinh Lu was the next lucky lady to snap the 9 and won the
money! A big thanks goes out to Mike Logan for his awesome donation!
We also held a raffle for a gorgeous J. Pechauer Custom Cue valued at $460!
Congrats to Tim Casey from Phoenix for winning this beautiful cue! According to
friends, this is just what Tim needed as he plays pool a lot and always plays with a
house cue! So it worked out perfectly! Thanks to everyone who bought tickets,
thanks to your contributions, the AWBT raised $389!
A BIG HUGE thanks goes out to Louie, Becky, Terry and everyone else at Metro!
We love playing at this awesome, sprawling establishment!
The next tournament will be March 29th & 30th at Kolby’s Corner Pocket in
