Allison Fisher:  Fisher is from England and is one of the best female pool players in the world and goes by the moniker "The Duchess of Doom".  She began playing pool in the early 1990s and became a professional billiard player in 1995.  In 2009 she won the gold medal while representing the United Kingdom in the World Games.

Ewa Laurance: Laurance started playing pool as a teenager and soon began competing in the 1980s. She is known as "The Striking Viking".  Laurance has earned over 20 titles.  She has since retired and is now a sports announcer on ESPN.  She is also a member of The Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fall and was the WPBP President thrice over.
