Results in red were carried over from the preliminaries.

Belgium was grouped in a relatively weak preliminary and managed to qualify for the B final, ending 26th out of a total of 53 teams. The Belgian team was quite homogeneous, with the first three players all scoring exactly 50%, although Rooze and Boey were probably happier with that result than O’Kelly. Here are the round by round results.
