Hamburger SV and 1.FC Nürnberg had qualified for the final and played two matches, which finished 2-2 and 1-1, both aet; the second match was abandoned after 1.FC Nürnberg had only 7 players left (8 were at the time required); initially the title was awarded to HSV (since Nürnberg had caused the abandonment), but this was revoked after an appeal by Nürnberg; another appeal by HSV followed, and at an extraordinary general meeting of the German FA they were awarded the title again, only to decline it - the German championship was not awarded for 1921/22.
After VfB Leipzig and TuFC Britannia Berlin had qualified for the final 1903/04, the Karlsruher FV protested against their semifinal loss against Britannia, because the match had been played in Berlin in spite of regulations that it should have been played in a neutral venue; upon that, the German FA decide to annul all matches of the championship playoff.
