This interleague championship had a strange start, with two last-minute replacements: Renard by Rooze, and Henrotay by Fagard. However, as far as I’m aware, neither Renard nor Henrotay played any games. Cornelis, Beyen, and Rooze qualified for the Belgian championship. Schumacher missed out on Sonneborn-Berger tie-break.

The tournament was probably held on a bunch of Sundays in May, June, and July. Quite possibly, the games were held in the white player’s club. [1] gives complete results, with the exception of one round. It also gives final standings which correspond perfectly which allowed for the reconstruction of the crosstable, with the exception that Fagard and Van As have been given half a point too little.
