Crosstable
Three players shared 3rd place in the USA 1962 championship (zonal tournament). Reshevsky qualified for the interzonal.
Last game was not played as there was no way to change the winner.
Yet, as Fischer subsequently withdrew, Evans picked his spot; which may be quite unfair as Addison only needed to draw vs Reshevsky to qualify.
