Linda "Wonder
Woman" Carter

| Linda
began playing pool in college when some friends dragged her
down to the student union. Soon, she was winning local tournaments.
When she was sent to Everett, Washington for her externship
in Radiology, she found the closest tavern and signed up to
play in the local leagues. She took her team from 2nd to last
place up to 1st place. She then moved to Seattle and joined
the Greater Seattle Women's 8-Ball League. That year, she won
MVP with a 91% win/loss record out of over 300 women competing.
She also won their President's Day Tournament 2 years in row.
Linda became the first female house pro for Jillian's, but gave
that position up in order to spend more time with her children,
Shawn and Carina. Linda also has a full time professional career
in Medical Sales, frequently using her background in Radiology,
Mammography, and Bone Density studies.

She has had 3 articles published in various medical journals
regarding breast cancer, mammography, and breast ultrasound.
Currently, her son, Shawn (20), is a nationally sponsored
aggressive inline skater, and her daughter, Carina (14), is
a model and also an honor student in the gifted program at
her junior high school.
She is now a WPBA touring pro and is searching
for a sponsor. She was ranked 37th after only 4 tour stops
(out of 13) in 1994, and is currently ranked 41st. A pool
player for 28 years, she has been in several magazine and
newspaper articles and two television appearances on the Ross
Shafer Show for pool. She has had her photo in Pool and Billiard
magazine and her name mentioned in Billiard's Digest a few
times.

Linda was instrumental in forming the Northwest Regional Tour
for the Association of Cuesports for Women, which is now the
Northwest Regional Tour for the WPBA, and she is President
of the United Pool Players Association. The UPPA intend to
bring validation to the world of billiards as a sport and
as a profession, bringing unprecedented payouts to pool tournaments
and leagues. Linda will be resigning from the ACW at the end
of this year.
Competing throughout Canada and the western
United States, Linda has played in several large open tournaments,
including the Reno Open and LA Open, where she was followed
around by a camera crew for a local news feature. She was
the first female House Pro for Jillian's Billiard Club in
Seattle, and recently helped Jeanette Lee make a commercial
for Virtual Pool 3 (Released Oct. 2000).
