It was smooth sailing for Line Kjorsvik all weekend

33 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. Justin e Bishop.
The hotseat match was between Kristin Haney and Line Kjorsvik 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.
