However, at the end of May, the match Tura 1904 Bonn-SV Beuel 06 was awarded
as a 0-0 win to Beuel after all; as by then TSV Alemannia Aachen had finished
their group matches in the Deutsche Meisterschaft, they were confirmed as the
representatives of Mittelrhein, so that the matches did not have to be replayed.
