Team line-ups for the 1957 Women's Chess Olympiad

The tables show the line-up of the teams at the 1957 Women's Chess Olympiad in Emmen . The 21 participating teams initially played in three preliminary round groups. The best three teams from each group made it to the A-final, and two more to the final groups B and C. Each team consisted of two players, substitutes were not provided. 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 in front of the team points, the direct comparison and the Sonneborn-Berger rating were decisive.
