Event table notes

Event data
Name: 48th U.S.A. Open Tournament
Place: Corpus Christi
Start date: 11 Aug. 1947
End date: 22 Aug. 1947
 
Notes:
The games Gring - Hernandez in round 1 and Joseph - Little in round 6 are shown at the chessgames.com page as losses for both players. I assume they were won by Hernandez and Little, respectively, since they withdrew before finishing so their scores were zeroed out. What appear to be default wins were recorded for Reino Poschel in round 5, Evans, Hrissikopoulos and Joseph in round 10, and Arneaux in round 12. What appear to be default losses are recorded for Hartleb in round 10 and Kenneth Ray Smith in round 12. Some results of the players who did not finish are marked as unknown, so a few of their games could be missing.
