The championship was interrupted due to thaw. The games between Iasi and Dragos Voda and Jahn could not be played on their scheduled dates and were intended to be contested on February 11 and 12. The Liga-Klasse schedule could not be completed due to warm temperatures melting the ice, and the season’s format, with the 2. Klasse competition taking place ahead of time with the winner advancing to play in Liga-Klasse, was regarded as a failure. Dragos Voda and Jahn Cernauti were set to advance to the national championship.

Final round

The final round was scheduled to be played from February 12-16, 1939, in Bucharest, at the Patinoarul Otetelesanu. The owners of the rink closed the facility to protest the increase on electricity taxes.
