At the end of the season the winners of the series promoted to Divizia A and no team was relegated to District Championship, because the series would be expanded again from the next season. Also this was the third season played in the spring-autumn system, a system imposed by the new leadership of the country which were in close ties with the Soviet Union.[1][2]
