Final tournament
The top team from each regional group qualified for the final tournament, which was held in Cernauti, beginning on January 22. Telefon Club Bucharest qualified from the southern group, SS Mureşul Târgu Mureş qualified from the central group, and Dragos Voda Cernauti made it from the northern group.
The first game of the tournament saw Dragos Voda Cernauti defeat SS Mureşul Târgu Mureş by a score of 2-0. The second game pitted Telefon Club Bucharest against SS Mureşul Târgu Mureş. With Telefon Club leading 5-0, the game was interrupted due to unruly spectators. As a result, Telefon's management elected to leave Cernăuţi and the tournament. The game between Telefon Club and Dragos Voda Cernauti, scheduled for the following day, was then ruled a 5-0 forfeit victory for Dragos Voda, which meant they had won the tournament and were Romanian champions, by virtue of their victory over Muresul on the first day.
The ruling was later appealed by Telefon Club, and the Romanian Ice Hockey Federation originally ruled in their favor. However, after further deliberation, the federation reverted back to their initial ruling (made during the tournament), and awarded Dragos Voda Cernauti the championship.
