From: Marc Theeuwen MAIL AMSINC COM> Date: 10 apr 1998 Subject: Results Dutch Championships 1998 Results of the Dutch Championships 1998 Utrecht April 4, 1998 The tournament form was a knock-out tournament where the finalists of 1997 (Hugo Hollanders and Hans Geuns), the participating semi-finalist of 1997 (Frans Roquas) and a fourth player (Jan Oosterwijk) had a bye for the first round. After being defeated in the knock-out tournament, players entered a side tournament. The results obtained in the knock-out tournament were taken into account for the ranking in the side tournament. For the 1999 EC, players are eligible for a bye during the first round when the number of players is not equal to a power of 2, based on their results in the knock-out tourmament. Thanks go to Eric Cheymol for calculating the ELO changes.
