At the begin of March, before the end of regular season, Estonian Fedration ruled out Hc Viking Tallinn from playoffs for faling to fulfill the financial obligations, read the full story here.

Playoffs began last week with the team finished last - Viru Sputnik Kohtla Jarve - replacing Viking.

But the club from Tallinn appeal to Harju County Court against the decision and the Court ruled in favor of Viking, ordering the Federation to readmit the club into playoffs. But apparently the decision was published by media but didn't arrive on Federation desk, because playoffs semifinals were played - in just two games - and finalists are already known: PSK Narva and Kalev-Valk Tartu will face for the title with game #1 scheduled for next week.

Federation President Rauno Parras told the newspaper Postimees has not yet been able to consult with the decision of the court, so can not comment the situation. "I will contact our lawyer as soon as possible. If the Court says that we should allow Viking to the playoffs, then we will do it" added Parras. Question now is: how?
