Overview

• The DTTB confirmed a 6:0 score in the second leg after TTC Berlin Eastside walked off at 2:0 down, combining it with a 6:3 first-leg win to crown Weinheim champions for the first time.
• Eastside lodged a protest before the June 29 match in Weinheim and cited 38.8°C indoor temperatures as unsafe conditions for play.
• Officials ruled in favor of Weinheim due to an absence of any upper temperature limit in DTTB competition rules.
• Berlin Eastside, having won the national cup and Champions League this season, now faces the prospect of appealing to the DTTB sports court within 14 days.
• The dispute has highlighted a regulatory gap in DTTB rules, prompting calls for explicit upper temperature caps to prevent similar incidents.
