Allison and Karen finish Top 29. Alli lost to the VERY strong young gun Adam Smith.

However, in the prior round, Alli beat Charlie Williams 7-1. That was three wins at 7-1, two of which were against champions...Williams and Hopkins.

Two women finished top 29 and four (I think) finished in the money...
Alli, Kim Shaw, Karen, Helena..I'm not sure about Anna.

GREAT going ladies. No apologies are required of those who suggested that they would not finish top 100 let alone in the money since being wrong doesn't require an apology.

I just think that those who had such opinions just had no idea how strong a few of the women are...especially Alli and Karen.

I wasn't able to see all of every match because I was sweating Bobby Pickle, Kim and Alli, but I only saw Alli miss 3 shots in all 8 rounds.

CONGRATULATIONS!

So did Karen lose in the 8th round also?

Anna played in the 6th round as well, so she also should have been in the money, same place as Kim.

Ladies NIght

The ladies added a great deal of excitement to the Derby City Classic. Everyone loved seeing them compete and of course everyone recognizes them from ESPN. The ladies are looking lovely, Allison, Kim, Karen,and Jeanette look like they've lost alot of weight and they seem to be in great shape, drinking that Dasani and looking and playing good. They deserve alot of credit for coming.
 
Congrats

Congrats to Allison and Karen for a GREAT showing in a very deep tournament field. They made a great statement for the level that the women are playing at today. I hope soon one of these two take the crown at Derby City.

Wish I could have gone this year...:)
 
one of the last rounds they were in, they had the top 4 women playing in the center area, at dcc they had 4 tables sectioned off. was great to see all of them playing at once and they were giving the guys a run of it for sure.

Right...and as you will remember, the ladies each won their first racks! Very cool.

And quite a shame that there have not been more posters offering their congratulations...especially since there have been SO many posts to the effect that they had no chance to even finish in the top 100.

But as you saw...the FANS were VERY supportive.

What I have always noticed about the women professional players is just that.....they act professional! I am always impressed with their conduct. They always take time for an autograph or photo with anyone.
P.S. - they play pretty darn good too!

JG,
You're not kidding. Watching the straight pool competition at the television table I was accosted by several of the women pro's. Here is a photo TAKEN of me by one of the prominent women pro's and e-mailed to me on the spot with her own camera/phone (hey, I hope the photographers don't have a union that will attack her).

P.S. - I'm the goofy looking guy in the center.

Congats to all the ladies that played and most played very well. They are knocking on the door and maybe next year one of them will kick it in.
