The playoff was necessary, since there was a three-way tie for first, but only two spots in the Interzonal were available. Byrne and Reshevsky, as the top two finishers in the playoff, played in the 1973 Interzonals.

As a result of this tournament, Robert Byrne qualified for the 1973 Leningrad Interzonal. Sammy Reshevsky qualified for the 1973 Petropolis Interzonal.

There were only two US Interzonal spots, rather than three, as in 1969, because the 1971 FIDE Congress at Vancouver, as part of a redistribution program, had removed one interzonal seat from each zone having more than one (Source: Chess Life & Review, 11/71).

The Tournament Director was Paul Brandts, who had played in the 1954 Championship.
