Gaëtan Mouveroux of France averaged 235 Tuesday evening at Lucky Bowl Veitvet in Oslo, Norway, to lead squad 13 with 1410 pinfall total and to move into sixth place in the overall qualifying standings of the Norwegian Open by Brunswick 2018, a European Bowling Tour bronze level event.

Mouveroux (featured photo), who won his first EBT title in the Hammer Bronzen Schietspoel Tournament 2018 in April, had games of 224, 268, 193, 233, 233 and 259 to crack the top 8, who would bypass the semi-finals and the first three rounds of the finals.

Mouveroux’ feat came at the expense of Tor Inge Jansen (left) of Norway, who led squad 12 with 1388, including a high game of 289, to move into eighth place in the standings. Jansen slipped to ninth and leads the group of eight players who would be seeded in round 3.

Swedes James Blomgren (right, 1385) and Jens Sjöbohm (1351) moved into the top 20 Tuesday as qualifying surpassed the halfway point.

Mattias Wetterberg (left) of Sweden, who also owns one EBT title, continued to lead the 122-player field, 100 men and 22 women, with 1514 total and an average of 252.33.

His fellow countrymen Eric Sjøberg, who had the only 300 game in the tournament so far, and Mikael Roos (right) sit in second and third place with 1497 and 1444, respectively.

The three Swedes are followed by Iceland’s Arnar Davíð Jónsson (left, 1426) and Alfred Berggren of Sweden (1422). Mouveroux became the sixth player, who cracked the 1400-bar. Christoffer Wetterberg, Mattias’ brother, slipped to seventh place with 1394.

Rounding out the top 8 is the best Norwegian bowler in the field, Audun Boye Hansen (right), with 1383.

Loke Johansson Molander of Norway holds the 42nd and last place to advance to the finals from the overall leaderboard with 1274 and an average of 212.33 scratch. For the record, the cut in 2017 was 1317 (219.50 average).

Qualifying continues on Thursday, Oct. 11, with squads 14, 15 & 16 scheduled to start at 1, 5 and 9 p.m. Central European Summer Time (CEST).

The Norwegian Open 2018 by Brunswick is the 12th and final stop of the 2018 European Bowling Tour and the second EBT “Bronze” tournament this season.

Bowlingdigital will provide onsite coverage from Lucky Bowl Veitvet featuring stories, photos and results after each round commencing Thursday, October 11, all the way through to the finals, which will be completed Sunday, October 14, in the late afternoon.

The lanes will be conditioned with a Brunswick sport pattern with medium difficulty and 22.00 ml volume oil total.
