Final score of the open group
- Determination of the placement (Rg = rank): sum of board points (BP), scoring (Wtg) according to the Bucholz system, sum of team points (MP).
 
The Chess Olympiad is a team tournament. In Bled, 14 rounds were played according to the Swiss system. In the Swiss system, teams of the same rank are drawn from one another. Each team (team) could use four players per team fight. Four individual points (board points) are awarded per team fight, which are indicated in the following table of the 14 rounds under the code of the opposing team. The code is a short key for the teams. The result of a team fight are the team points (win = 2, draw = 1, loss = 0). In addition, the numbers of won, undecided and lost fights are listed (+ = -).
There are allegedly some discrepancies in the order of the lower teams from the official ranking, which can no longer be found on the internet. Other reporters, such as TWIC, agree with the table below.
