(Saturday, November 10) LAS VEGAS, NV - Michelle Feldman, Skaneateles, N.Y. became $21,500 richer on Saturday. The eight-time titlest outlasted Anne Marie Duggan, Edmond, Oklahoma in the 12th frame of the $25,000 Brunswick Shootout to take home the top purse of the eight-bowler field.

"Not bad for a days work," said Feldman, who earlier in the day earned a second place check for $7,500 at the Brunswick Women's World Open.

Based on some of the same concept as a skins game, the Shootout hosted the top eight PWBA competition point finishers in a frame-by-frame money contest.

This year's contestants included Feldman, Duggan, Carolyn Dorin-Ballard, N.

Richland Hills, Texas, Cara Honeychurch, Australia, Liz Johnson, Cheektowaga, N.Y. Wendy Macpherson, Henderson, Nevada and Leanne Barrette, Pleasanton, Calif.

Following the title match of the $100,000 Brunswick Women's World Open, where Dorin-Ballard defeated Feldman 280-258, the eight PWBA'ers began the competition. After Duggan and Feldman split the first stanza ($1,000) and Kulick and Macpherson divided $3,000 in the fourth, the frame by frame event went into OT as eight consecutive frames would pass before Feldman threw back-to-back strikes to take home the big bucks.

The Shootout rules are based on a "must strike to win" principle. Each frame of the match is assigned a dollar value such as: 1st through 6th - $1,000, 7th and 8th - $2,000, 9th - $5,000, 10th - $10,000. If three players recorded a strike in a frame, or if no players tallied a strike in a frame, the assigned money carried over to the next frame. When a three-strike or no-strike situation occurred, the next frame began with the next bowler in the line-up and continued under the same rules. When two players registered a strike in a given frame, the designated money was split. Only when one player chalked up a strike did that competitor win the frames' entire dollar value. The rules applied to frames one through ten. Following the 10th frame, the money carried over into a sudden death format where the bowlers must either strike to win the assigned dollars or strike to advance into the extra sessions.

The Brunswick Shootout will air on ESPN2 on Monday November 26th and 29th at 9:00 p.m. and 1 a.m. In addition the event will broadcast on ESPN on November 29 at 2 p.m. (all times Eastern).

The Brunswick Shootout money breakdown was as follows;

1. Michelle Feldman, 1st and 12th frames - $21,500.

2. Kelly Kulick, 4th frame-$1,500

3. Wendy Macpherson, 4th frame - $1,500

4. Anne Marie Duggan, 1st frame - $1,500.
