Traditionally, the Mechelse Toren had been a knock-out tournament, but due to the very low number of teams enrolled, the organizers decided to make it a full-round tournament. By the last round, CÉ Thibaut was already sure it couldn’t win and they decided to forfeit their whole match. Luckily, it didn’t influence the standings. [1] gives full results, but unfortunately no games. Here are the round-by-round scores. The individual scores below don’t include forfeits.
