Skaters were entered by their respective national federations, rather than receiving individual invitations as in the Grand Prix of Figure Skating, and competed in four disciplines: men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dance. The Fritz-Geiger-Memorial Trophy was presented to the country with the highest placements across all disciplines.
In the men's free skating, Klimkin became the first skater to land two different quadruple jumps in one program (quad salchow and quad toe loop).[1]
