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.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals.
