25 players from the United States participated in the Viernheim Open with great success. Tim Mack is now in 20th place in the rankings with 134 points. PBA Hall of Famer Brian Voss is 27th at 104. PBA champion Sean Rash (above right), third-place finisher in Viernheim, cashed his first 80 points to jump into 43rd position.

On the women's side, 3.time World Champion Zara Glover finished in fourth place in the rankings in Viernheim, two spots ahead of two-time defending European ranking champion Britt Bröndsted (right) from Denmark. Glover maintained her second place with 487 total points and narrowed the gap by 12 pins. Bröndsted pulls ahead of the field with 554 points.

Third place belongs to Helen Johnsson from Sweden, who did not compete in Viernheim. The European Masters champion earned 401 points out of six tournaments, an average of nearly 67 points per tournament.

Isabelle Saldjian, France, maintained the fourth place with a seventh-place finish in the women's ranking in Viernheim, 376. Nina Flack (left) from Sweden and Dane Anja Ginge Jensen (right) changed places. Flack is now in fifth with 348 and Jensen is sixth with 342.

Patricia Schwarz remained seventh with 292 points. Martina Beckel, both of Germany, moved into the top 8 with 248 points. Anna Mattsson-Baard, Sweden, did not compete in Viernheim and slipped to ninth place with 248.

Missy Bellinder, United States, who finished second in the women's rankings in Viernheim, is mere 53 points off the pace for the top 8 in a tied 12th place. The former Team USA member has cashed 200 points in the three tournaments she bowled on the EBT this season … thus far.

Viernheim Open champion Liz Johnson earned 100 ranking points which propelled her into a tied 32nd place on the women's rankings. The 11-time PWBA champion will not compete in any of the remaining five events on the European Bowling Tour this season. However, she has 25.000 reasons to return to Viernheim next year.
