FINALS STAGE 3
Top 10 from Stage 2 play four games with qualifiers 9 - 18

Now the fairer sex are dominating the leader board and Emelie Alm (pictured), the lithe Swedish student has pole position and has Rikke Holm Rasmussen hot on her heels.

But it will be back to square one when Stage 4 take to the lanes with another four games, starting from scratch, joined by qualifiers 1-8. And here the pressure is on as now there is only room for eight to play four more games then four to progress to the semi-finals.

Of the 48 qualifiers, positions 29-48 have been eliminated and Habib Dogan of Turkey has the honor of putting in the best performance to date.

Focus now is on Osku Palermaa of Finland. He has a good chance of making the cut but has to fight off Frawley, Moor, Williams, etc. to reach that lofty position.

Currently, the squads are running about 45 minutes late, so State 4 should commence about 14:45, local time.
