The National 9-Ball Championship would belong to Korean star Ga-Young Kim however. Kim knocked Fisher from the tournament, then went on to defeat Monica Webb in the semifinals and Vivian Villarreal in the finals 7-6. It was Kim’s first Classic Tour victory of the year.
Fisher finished in 4th Place, but high enough to ensure she’d retain a firm grasp on the No. 1-ranking heading in to 2006.
The Duchess of Doom Allison Fisher capped off another stellar Tour season by retaining her No. 1 ranking for yet another year. After a disappointing 4th Place finish in June at the Southeast Classic, Fisher was back at the top of her game in August when the Classic Tour made its annual stop in Peoria at the Par-a-dice Casino.
Fisher defeated Helena Thornfeldt in the finals for her fourth consecutive Midwest Classic title. Jennifer Chen and Monica Webb tied for 3rd Place.
From there Fisher had her sights set on the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship in October. Having not won the U.S. Open title since the turn of the millennium, Fisher was determined to bring the championship back from Albuquerque, N.M. She did just that with a 7-6 victory over arch rival Karen Corr in the finals. Monica Webb finished in 3rd Place.
In mid-November the tour headed North to the season-ending National 9-Ball Championship at the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, Oregon. With a sizeable lead over No. 2-ranked Karen Corr, Fisher had a comfortable margin of error to retain the coveted top spot.
