Vitesse 3-2 Estrella
NB: at the time, Real Rincon were 1969/70 Bonaire runners-up behind Vitesse, but
later a protest of Estrellas was upheld, causing Estrellas and Real Rincon to
finish equal second; as Real Rincon then refused to play the necessary playoff
match, Estrellas were awarded the runners-up position.
NB: tournament held on the occasion of the golden jubilee of N.A.V.U., which was
founded in September 1958 but for the occasion considered the rightful successor
of the C.V.B., founded in 1921 (or perhaps in 1913, 1923 or 1925).

Cancellation of 1970/71 season
As the 1969/70 season saw four clubs tied for last place on 10 points, a relegation
playoff was necessary. However, Wacao demanded a replay of their match on Jan 30, 1970,
against Jong Holland, as the latter had used Stanley Brazil (who had also played in their
matches against Jong Colombia (Oct 17, 1969), Scherpenheuvel (Jan 16, 1970) and Sithoc
(Feb 6, 1970)); according to Wacao, he was still a player of Wacker. As Jong Holland
could show they had registered the player on Sep 22, 1969, their protest was rejected,
but further investigations showed Brazil was still registered for Huracan, a club he had
joined in 1964 but which had been inactive since 1966. The C.V.B. then ordered a replay,
considering the player to have been ineligible to play for Jong Holland; Jong Holland
protested, arguing among other things that in that case Brazil had not been eligible to
play for Wacker in the 1967/68 season in which that club had won promotion. After a long
saga of protests and appeals, involving the C.V.B., the N.A.V.U., the F.I.F.A. and the
local judiciary, in which the replay was fixtured (but not played) at least three times
(on Sep 9, 1970; Nov 20, 1970; Jan 29, 1971), the original result was homologated by an
arbitration committee. Due to this soap, the relegation playoff only started in May 1971,
a year after the 1969/70 season was supposed to have finished, and the 1970/71 season never
took place.
