Team lines-up of the 1980 Chess Olympics

--- CONTENT ---
The tables name the lineup of teams at the 1980 Chess Olympics in Valletta. 82 teams took part in the Olympics, which hosted a tournament in the Swiss system over 14 rounds. Among them was a B-team of the host country to secure an even number of participants. This played out of competition and received no placement assigned. The classification was primarily based on Brettpunkte, then the Buchholz classification and finally on team points. Each team included four regular and a maximum of two substitutes.

Uncontested competitions
In three cases, competitions without regular hosting were scored:
Romania arrived late. The team was set for the first round against Malta's B-team and the game scored 2-2, without making a name assignment of the boards.
The teams of Monaco and Uganda left before the start of the last round. The jury treated these cases differently:
Uganda's opponent Angola received two team points, but also only two board points. A named assignment of the games of this competition did not take place.
The match Jordan - Monaco, on the other hand, was scored 4-0, with the four regular players of both teams being assigned a fightless victory or a fightless defeat.
