In this edition, the standard 1, ½, 0 scoring system was replaced by a 3, 2, 1 system with a 0 for losses by forfeit. In the main section, there were three international masters, which was a record, I believe. Nevertheless, the clear winner was a team from Ghent with not even a national master in their ranks. The newcomers from Tielt (De Pionniers) and Eisden (De Nieuwe Toren) were outclassed. SK Anderlecht and the Colle Academy from Brussels took their places.

Here are the round-by-round results, insofar as I have them. The individual scores below do no include wins by forfeit. I have also translated them back to the standard 1, ½, 0 system. As I’m still missing the detailed results of some matches, the scores below do not add up to the team scores in the crosstable above.
