After the average age of the four individual finalists was 37 years old last year, this time an age limit of 25 years was introduced and the tournament was declared a junior tournament. In addition to the top young players from the GDR, players from the Federal Republic, Poland and Romania also took part. Other Eastern European countries canceled their participation at short notice, which meant that only nine participants took part in the women's competition.
