NB: results in red are carried over from the preliminaries.

I have the tournament bulletins for the first four rounds ([2]), but unfortunately not from the last one. Therefore, I was able to reconstruct the crosstables from the preliminary groups.

As there were only three teams in the Glorney cup B-final, there is only one match for which I didn’t have the results from [2]: Belgium — Scotland. Luckily, [1] gives the individual scores of the Belgian players. But there’s a problem: it gives their scores out of 5, while the Belgians only had 4 matches! What I think happened, is that — for some arcane reason — the bye was counted as a draw for all players. If this is the case, Belgium would have defeated Scotland in the last round and, miracle of miracles, [1] mentions that Belgium barely won in the last round to avoid last place. The crosstable of the A-final was reconstructed using the final standings given in [3].

For the Faber cup, [3] strangely gives final standings of the B-final, but not the A-final for which I therefore have not been able to reconstruct the crosstable.

As there are five rounds and five days, I have assumed that one round was played per day, but this may be wrong.
