3. Estonia 2 0 0 2 3: 5 0
NB: after twice losing out on first place due to the goal average tie-breaker, Latvia
suggested that in the future drawn matches should be decided in extra time c.q. be
replayed; the other countries agreed but this led to controversy in 1933. (See
[DHL 08], pp. 192-193, where it is also stated that the competitions of 1929 and
1930 were declared void, but if so this presumably was revoked later.)

5- 9-1933 Lithuania - Estonia 0:5 (0:3) (replay 2- 9-1933)
NB: Latvia considered they had done enough to win the title, but Lithuania and Estonia
insisted that the match on September 4 should be replayed (see comments below the
1930 competition), which Latvia refused to do. (See [DHL 08], p. 193.) Usually,
the following final table is given, without the replayed match on September 5
(presumably based on an agreement between the countries prior to the 1935 edition):
1. LATVIA 2 1 1 0 3: 2 3
2. Lithuania 2 0 2 0 3: 3 2
