They can rack ‘em up and sink them in the pocket like few pool players can and still rock the high heels and lipstick.

The top female pool players in the region will be at The Parlor Billiards & Spirits in downtown Bellevue during the Northwest Women’s Pool Association tournament from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Aug. 16 and 17.

With amateur talent culled from all over the greater Northwest and Canada, women hit the tables in this tournament for a potential spot on the Women’s Professional Billiards Association (WPBA) Tour. More than 40 “ladies of the cue” are expected to compete in this game-upon-game, double-elimination, 9-ball tournament.

Games start at 10 a.m. both days; the final championship game is Aug. 17, at approximately 8 p.m.

Amateur female players may register for the event at http://nwpatour.com/. Entry fee is $45 for NWPA members and $65 for non-members.
