Zikuda Turnov “A” defended their top seed and deservedly won the team tournament in convincing fashion. Out of 28 games, they lost only one! The backbone of the team was IM Václav Finěk on board one (5/6, performance rating 2522). On the last board, IM Pavel Čech won all his games. Finěk and Čech were simply unbeatable in this event.
Second place went to Beskydská šachová škola „A“. The young squad from Frýdek-Místek delivered a solid performance, winning six matches. Their only slip-up came in the fourth round when they lost to the eventual third-place team — Polský cukr. Special mention goes to Jakub Suliborski on board three for the “Sugar Boys”—he scored 6.5/7 (performance rating 2622), allowing his opponents just a single draw, which came in the final round against the champions from Turnov.
Fourth place in the tournament was secured by ŠK Lípa „A“, proving that their recent promotion to the Czech first division was no accident. The award for the best women’s team went to Krasomily.
