Between June 15 and 28 competitors were requested to participate in the pre-tournament playing period. The results were used to decide on the assignment of the players to two preliminary heats. First and second player of each heat competed in the finals for places 1 to 4, whereas third and fourth players played the same games in the consolation round for places 5 to 8.
