The Pool A team featured only the top six nations, now playing a double round-robin tournament for the amateur world championship.

Pool B and C began exchanging two teams this year (through promotion and relegation), a practice that lasted until 1987.

For the seventh straight year, the Soviet Union won the Pool A tournament.

Originally the tournament was scheduled to be held in Czechoslovakia, but due to the Soviet invasion of the country, they declined to host.
