| Notes: |
| Only partial results available. Each pair of players had to play a best-of-three match against each other. Scores given are in terms of matches won, not games. I include them as if each match were a single game (as a soft result), though a win here could mean +2-1, or +3-0 or +2-0 or +2-0=1, and consequently the ratings won't be entirely accurate, but they still give an idea of relative performance. We know that the Doyle-Grünberger match went +1-1=1, but it will be counted among the scores here as if it were just =1. There were originally 24 players, but some dropped out and had their scores cancelled, and final scores are out of 17, which implies that 18 players remained. Laracy and Rosenbaum had to play off for fourth; I assume a single game. |
