The above crosstable is taken from the one in the bulletin which only went down to player no.54 and is unfortunately riddled with errors, including the duplication of one of the players. I have marked some scores and results in red where there seems to be an error, some of which I have tried to resolve. I suspect the totals are correct but the errors lie in the recording of individual results. JS
