*: This match was cancelled by a decision of the Central committee of the Belgian Chess Federation.
°: It seems like one game was adjourned. Quite possibly it was never finished or adjudicated, as its result was irrelevant to the final standings.

For the first time, the interclub championship was held in the formula which essentially persists to this day, with the possibility of promotion and relegation, as opposed to the previous formula with preliminaries and a national final. SK Merksem was the first team to promote, Ostend was delegated. Some of the strongest teams, which were based in Brussels, did not participate.
Most of the individual results were given in [2] and [3]; they can be found here. I have only two games from the Promotion division, which were given in [4]. It seems the board order was not completely fixed. I have not included forfeited games. As I’m missing some detailed results, the overview below is not complete. Also, the detailed results of the match between Ruy Lopez and Jean Jaurès does not fit with the end results.
