Belmonte and Bröndsted lead European rankings at halftime
06/16/06
Though Australian Jason Belmonte didn't participate in the Dutch Open 2006 in Scheveningen and Britt Bröndsted of Denmark missed the first cut, the duo continued to lead the men's and women's European Rankings after ten out of twenty events.
Belmonte, who went back home after six weeks in Europe and the Middle East to win the 2006 Brunswick Perth Tenpin Cup, remained five points ahead of Osku Palermaa, Finland, with 310 points.
Third place belongs to two-time defending ranking champion Paul Moor (left), England, with 275. Achim Grabowski (right), Germany, who led the qualifying in Scheveningen, but lost in the first match play round, is eighth with 162. Scheveningen winner Mikael Kanold, Sweden, doubles his point total to jump into 18th position with 100 points.
Despite missing the first cut, two-time defending ranking champion Bröndsted earned six points in Scheveningen (only 45 women participated, all received ranking points, no matter where they finished) to lead the women's with 406 points.
Zara Glover (left) from England, who has participated in all ten tournaments thus far and - of course - cashed points in every event narrowed the gap to 58 points, 348. Multiple French champion Isabelle Saldjian (right) moved into third place at 230 behind winning the rankings in Scheveningen, worth 50 points. Sonja Uhlich, Germany, and Anja Ginge Jensen, Denmark, are tied for 8th place with 160 points.
At halftime of the 2006 European Bowling Tour, 266 women and 290 men from 38 countries have cashed ranking points. 29 players from non-European countries, Australia, Colombia, Canada, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore and United States, have positioned themselves on the rankings (the top 50 man and the top 50 women in each event earn ranking points).
The top 8 men and top 8 women in the rankings at the end of the season qualify for the 2007 World Ranking Masters to be held in Doha, Qatar.
The European Bowling Tour is on Malta this week for the Malta Open Championships at Eden SuperBowl in St. Julians, Malta, June 14-18.

2006 European Rankings
European Rankings after 10/20 Events
Though Australian Jason Belmonte didn't participate in the Dutch Open 2006 in Scheveningen and Britt Bröndsted of Denmark missed the first cut, the duo continued to lead the men's and women's European Rankings after ten out of twenty events. Belmonte, who went back home after six weeks in Europe and the Middle East to win the 2006 Brunswick Perth Tenpin Cup, remained five points ahead of Osku Palermaa, Finland, with 310 points.
Third place belongs to two-time defending ranking champion Paul Moor (left), England, with 275. Achim Grabowski (right), Germany, who led the qualifying in Scheveningen, but lost in the first match play round, is eighth with 162. Scheveningen winner Mikael Kanold, Sweden, doubles his point total to jump into 18th position with 100 points. Despite missing the first cut, two-time defending ranking champion Bröndsted earned six points in Scheveningen (only 45 women participated, all received ranking points, no matter where they finished) to lead the women's with 406 points.
Zara Glover (left) from England, who has participated in all ten tournaments thus far and - of course - cashed points in every event narrowed the gap to 58 points, 348. Multiple French champion Isabelle Saldjian (right) moved into third place at 230 behind winning the rankings in Scheveningen, worth 50 points. Sonja Uhlich, Germany, and Anja Ginge Jensen, Denmark, are tied for 8th place with 160 points. At halftime of the 2006 European Bowling Tour, 266 women and 290 men from 38 countries have cashed ranking points. 29 players from non-European countries, Australia, Colombia, Canada, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore and United States, have positioned themselves on the rankings (the top 50 man and the top 50 women in each event earn ranking points).
The top 8 men and top 8 women in the rankings at the end of the season qualify for the 2007 World Ranking Masters to be held in Doha, Qatar.
The European Bowling Tour is on Malta this week for the Malta Open Championships at Eden SuperBowl in St. Julians, Malta, June 14-18.
