pos. name flag 1 2 3 pts + = -
1. GM Reshevsky, Samuel Herman USA ½ 1 1   2 1 0

3. Addison, William USA 0   ½ ½ 1 0 2 1

Three players shared 3rd place in US 1963 championship (zonal tournament). Reshevsky qualified. Last game was not played since there was no way to change the winner.
But, as Fischer subsequently withdrew Evans picked his spot; which may be quite unfair as Addison only needed to draw vs Reshevsky to qualify.
