Each of the ten districts of the South German Football Association now had a single-track top division with eight teams. The district champions were each determined by a final between the two district champions of a district with a return game (and, if applicable, a playoff). The five champions qualified for the southern German finals, which were held in a simple league round.
For the 1923/24 season , the top divisions in southern Germany were fundamentally reformed, with five single-track district leagues replacing the ten district leagues at the top level. Since the new divisions were also filled with eight teams, half of all previous "first division" teams had to be relegated this season.
The first leg of the district final took place on January 28, 1923, the second leg on February 4, 1923. Since both clubs each won a game and an addition of the results was not provided, there was a playoff on February 11, 1923.

Final round of the southern German championship
In the final round, the winners of the district finals played the South German champions in a simple round. Here the SpVgg. Fürth prevail unchallenged, remained clean and only gave up one point against 1. FC Pforzheim.
At 0-0 in Pforzheim, SpVgg. Fürth used the returned Willy Ascherl for the first time (again) . He stayed with the team in the following games. That was actually contrary to the statutes, but the gaming committee chairman Julius Keyl had given the clearance to, according to his own statement, grant the Fürthers compensation for two injured missing players; therefore, he considered the non-paragraph-compliant decision to be appropriate. This caused heated debates at the Association Day in Karlsruhe in July . Ultimately, Fürth's title win was not questioned, but it was assured that the decision would be made in accordance with the regulations in the future.
