Thanks to Dieter Haase who corrected the players sheets on sunday morning after the tournament. Some of them were almost unreadable, but he brought light into darkness.

If you look at the ranking and the 1/8-finals you will find an essencial fout:

  qualifiied players     seeded players
         

1.

 Michael HAMMEN   8. Xavier FONELLOSA
2. Eric VERVLIET   7. Kevin TRAN
3. Walter BAX   6. Eric DAELMAN
4. Erik VIJVERBERG   5. Thomas AHRENS
         
5. Serdar GÜMÜS   4. Jean REVERCHON
6. Hector CUADRADO   3. Haci Arap YAMAN
7. Rob SCHOLTES   2. Bernd SINGER
8 Robert IMMERVOLL   1. Sander JONEN


If you take a look at the sportrules you will find:
The poule #1 (Hammen, Vervliet, Bax and Vijverberg)
will play against the seeded #5-#8 (Ahrens, Daelman, Tran and Fonellosa) by drawing lots.
The poule #2 (Gümüs, Cuadrado, Scholtes and Immervoll)
will play against the seeded #1-#4 (Jonen, Singer, Yaman and Reverchon) by drawing lots.

So how is it possible that Haci Arap Yaman played against Eric Vervliet and Eric Daelman played against Hector Cuadrado? Is drawing lots really that difficult???
In the official results the places 9-16 are sorted by matchpoints. This is wrong. This places have to be sorted by percentage. (the interrested reader will read the reglement).
