The short matches are over. Now it’s lose and go home – or into the Transnational Mixed Teams.  The round of 16 will be completed today.

There was little drama in the final stages of the round robin qualifying, although France had reason to regret going for 800 on the final board of the final match against China Macau. France still won, but the 5-IMP loss on the last board dropped them into tie with Romania, and the French lost out on the tie-breaker.

Leading the qualifiers in the Open series were Italy, Israel, Norway and Germany. In the Women’s, Germany stubbed their toes, losing a close match to Sweden, but then they blitzed their next two opponents to finish with 372 VPs (87%). The other group leaders were Finland and England.

USA and Indonesia led the Seniors qualifiers.
