this is a very very exciting season on the wpba. helena thorndfeldt is #3 and wants to at least stay at that prestigious #3 spot. allison fisher is #1, and of course would feel embarressed, if she went down from there. karen corr is a fantastic strong player is way up there at #2, will she fall or rise to #1?. jeanette lee re-dedicated herself to winning, instead of promoting pool, and she looks to go from #4, to #1 by years end. kelly fisher the snooker sensation from the u.k. just arrived here, and is getting used to 9-ball. i look for her to do very well, like #1 well, by may of 2005. so who will be #1 in the world, by october of 2004 and into december of 2004, and who will be player of the year?----------- kim shaw, the snooker transplant. she is deadly and ready, already ranked #8, she will climb and climb this year knocking off karen corr at the #2 spot, and eventually, beating allison fisher at her own game. by april of 2005, all we will be hearing is "welcome to the finals, mitch lawrence and dawn hopkins calling the action for you, and i can't say it enough, these two players have been in the last 34 finals together, kelly fisher the #1 player in the world, and kim shaw, the #2 player in the world, who was #1 for a while, also, kim shaw is player of the year, for 2004." "yes, mitch but looking at kelly fisher, i believe she is going to be #1 for many, many years, she is so solid at the table, just like allison fisher and karen corr, back in the early 2000's, it's now, kelly fisher and kim shaw in all of the finals."
 
Bernie,

That is a pretty good visualization there. New players to the top, that is always a good thing. Some of what you have said has already changed. Helena is now #4 and Jeanette is #3. I like your thinking of new players but unfortunately it is hard to take over the number one spot. I'm not even sure if Jeanette can do it in a years time. Not that she is not capable, but because of the way the points system works.

Good idea though,
Sarah
 
I totally agree with Sarah. The point system is such that it will be difficult to overtake the number one spot in a short period of time. Especially with the fact that Allison is not exactly playing poorly. I do predict that Karen may fall back a bit if she doesn't pick up her play. Jeanette is a monster right now and I am not surprised that she moved up. Sarah, I have not had the pleasure of watching you play yet. I will be at the BCA in May at the Riviera. Will you be playing? That is always a top notch tournament. In summation, I can't see anyone taking Allisons spot in the next 12 months.
 
well, if not kim shaw and kelly fisher, mark my words, by january of 2005 it will be allison fisher vs. kelly fisher, and i believe kelly will be #1 and allison will be #2, just because kelly is new, and wants to show everyone, that the new fisher can play, where as, allison, just wants to retire, and teach.
 
CueHunter,

I will indeed be in Vegas playing in the tournament. Be sure to introduce yourself. You are right, it is a great, top notch tournament. It is one of my favorites. This will only be my second time there.

Silencer, I hope you are right that things will be shaken up. I don't know that I would pick the same players but that is only because I am a player on the tour. :)

We will have to see how things pan out over the next year or so.

Time and Age of players catches up to everyone. I just don't see it happening in the next couple of years. The top four in the WPBA are still head and shoulders above the rest of the field. They win most of their early matches before the lag.
