The lead on the WDF men's rankings is still in the hands of Jimmy van Schie. With a point total of 781 points, he currently holds a 152-point lead over first pursuer Danny Porter.
Porter is one of three Australians in the top six of the WDF rankings. This is because there are relatively many tournaments in Oceania in which the same players often compete and can therefore accumulate points. Peter Machin (fourth ) and Brandon Weening (sixth) are the other Australians in the top-6, while the fifth spot is held by New Zealander Ben Robb.
In between, American Jason Brandon is in third place. Brian Raman is ranked number seven in the WDF rankings. Benjamin Pratnemer moved up to eighth place after his good results last weekend. He won the Slovak Open and reached the final at the Slovak Masters. The top-10 is completed by Thomas Junghans and Carl Wilkinson.
Vince Tipple in winning the Slovak Open added his first points so he went up to 159th with 67 points. Carl Wilkinson, Leonard Gates and James Beeton with the latter going onto star in the Development Tour are in the top 15. While Ryan Hogarth, Cliff Prior and Corne Groeneveld finalise the top 15.
Neil Duff sits just outside the top 15 albeit most of the top players in this top echelons of the rankings did not compete over the weekend. In the race table it is currently Brian Raman, Francois Schweyen, Alain Abiabi, Jeff Springer Jr, Andy Davidson, Aaron Turner, David Platt, Scott Walters, Peter Machin and Darren Johnson outside of those who qualify by right who are currently in position.
There will be four more Qualifiers incoming at the end of the season as well as the Denmark Open, Toronto Area Open, New Zealand Open and Korean Open. While Ryan Hogarth, Jimmy van Schie, Paul Lim and Martyn Turner sit in the top 16 alongside the tournament winners.
