It was business as usual in the Open as Italy scored a regulation 50 VP from their two matches to increase their lead over second placed Norway to 67 VP. Bulgaria are still third, with Spain fourth and Poland, who have recovered from an indifferent start, fifth. With the EBL Champions Cup in mind, Turkey and Netherlands occupy the next two places.
