This was a one-day tournament in which every teams fielded 6 players. Pairings were done in such a way that every team met five other teams once and the sixth twice. [1] gives the team composition with complete individual results, but unfortunately no pairings. I have reconstructed them as above based on a couple of assumptions:

  1. [1] gives the players per team in board order and players on each board were paired against each other.
  2. The team pairings on board 6 were the same as on board 1.

The reconstruction above is compatible with the SB scores for the first two teams, which are also given in [1].

Wanted

  • All games.
  • Some confirmation of the pairings.
  • Many first names.
