| Notes: |
| Only partial results available. We know that this was a double-round all-play-all tournament, but the number of players is not stated. Given that the top score was 23, there must have been at least 13 players, but the scores given are not consistent with a tournament of exactly 13 players either (the bottom 9 players must then have had 72 points just for games amongst themselves, but 72 plus the scores given for the top 4 exceed the number of points for a 13-player double-round all-play-all). Thus, there had to be at least 14 players. It is possible that there were exactly 14 players, in which case the average score of the bottom 10 must have been 9.5, and the bottom 10 collectively scored only 5 points against the top 4 players. Perhaps more likely is that there were 15 players, in which case the average score of the bottom 11 must have been 11.18, and the bottom 11 collectively scored 13 points against the top 4 players. Even more players is also a possibility, but then the declining percentage of the first-place score seems to become less likely again. So I will guess at 15 players, so total scores are out of 28, though there might be a slight error in ratings if there were 14 or 16 players, or even more. |
