RENO, Nev. - Carol Gianotti of Perth, Australia, made the jump from fifth to first Monday morning as qualifying wrapped up at the 2006 United States Bowling Congress Queens.
Gianotti finished the 15 games of qualifying with a 3,270 total, including 1,153 five-game block Monday morning. Left-hander Dana Miller-Mackie of Albuquerque, N.M., sits in second at 3,257 while Shannon Pluhowsky of Lincoln, Neb., is third at 3,224.
The top 63 players advanced to join Tennelle Milligan of Costa Mesa, Calif., in the match-play portion of the Queens. Half of the bracket will compete at 1 p.m. PDT with the other half taking to the lanes at 3 p.m. PDT.
"It's a totally different ball game now," Gianotti said. "The whole thing is to make the top 63 and then anything can happen. I had a pretty good rhythm today, and hopefully I can keep it going."
Gianotti's five-game block Monday morning was the highest of this year's tournament. She had games of 193, 213, 266, 248 and 233.
The last player to make the match-play round was Catie Boroff of Mansfield, Texas, who finished 63rd at 2,873.
The Queens, which is presented by Eldorado, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus, features a prize fund of $200,000. The winner will take home $30,000 plus the Queens tiara, pendant and crystal trophy.
Match play will continue Tuesday and the top four players from the winners bracket and the winner of the contenders bracket will advance to Wednesday's stepladder finals at 7 p.m. PDT. The championship round is scheduled to be televised on ESPN2 on July 1 at noon EDT.
