The fourth, fifth and sixth placed then played in the respective direct comparison of the other rankings.
The tournament was overshadowed by a doping case, when the Polish player Jaroslaw Morawiecki tested positive after the game against France. Moraviecki was blocked and the game for Poland with 0:2 points and 0:2 gates counted as lost. On the other hand kept for France the actual result of 2:6 is still valid.
