New registrations for the best determination 1974/75
The winners of the respective district championships were eligible to participate. For these teams, the district championship title was sufficient for the last time as a starting authorization, as a preliminary qualification with subsequent relegation should be scheduled in the future. There were no new registrations and the GDR determination of the best started the next season with an unchanged field of participants.
