Special
The new scoring system brought again some confusion. Several countries, a total of at least 8 out of 18, not scooped the possible maximum score of 10 (two judges, each with 5 points ) for the contribution of a country. Whether they did this to possibly help her or a friendly country to victory, could not be determined. However, this behavior was also in the following years in which this rating system was used (1971 to 1973) to determine.
For the first time Malta took part in this competition.
