As in the previous season, the league was played with ten teams. Since each team played two home and two away games against each group opponent, the total number of games per team in the main round was 36 games. Then, unlike in previous years, the best four teams played out the champions in the playoffs. While the semi-finals took place in best-of-seven mode, the final was played in best-of-five mode and the game for third place in best-of-three mode. The bottom of the table in the main round rose directly to the respective national championship.
The winners of the three second division groups , VTŽ Chomutov , TJ Gottwaldov and Dukla Trenčín , as well as the group runner-up I. ČLTK Prague played in a round trip for admission to the first division for the following season. Gottwaldov prevailed with ten points.
