Last weekend's German Darts Championship caused changes in the world rankings. A number of the changes occurred.
The biggest riser is German darts sensation Ricardo Pietreczko, who caused a resounding surprise by winning the German Darts Championship. He moved up ten places, now occupying 53rd place in the rankings.
Another notable change is that for the first time in seventeen years, James Wade is no longer among the top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit. 'The Machine' is in danger of slipping even further down the PDC Order of Merit in the coming months. After all, he has to defend semifinal spots at the Grand Slam of Darts and the World Darts Championship. For the Grand Slam of Darts, Wade has not even qualified yet.
Jose de Sousa (-3 to 22nd place), Mensur Suljovic (-8 to 42nd place), Ritchie Edhouse (-4 to 54th place) and Florian Hempel (-4 to 56th place) also had to lose some places in the world rankings.

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
