The tables show the line-up of the teams at the 1968 Chess Olympiad in Lugano . The 53 participating teams initially played in seven preliminary round groups. From these preliminary rounds, two teams each went into the final tournaments A to C. The remaining teams reached the D final. Each team consisted of four regular players and a maximum of two substitute players. In the tables, the final position is given for each team, next to it is the final tournament reached. The team balances are listed separately for the preliminary and final round, whereas the individual balances of the players are shown in the sum of both tournament phases. For the placement of the teams, the board points were the priority.
In contrast to earlier Olympiads, the games of the teams from the same preliminary round group were taken over into the respective final tournaments and not played again. This means that the total number of individual games is usually lower than would be expected from the number of team fights that were rated.
