All-Higashikanto Tournament

Format: This is a three-stage tournament. In the first stage, leagues compete in area tournaments that determine which teams qualify for the All-Higashikanto tournament. Eight teams from the Hitachi block, three from the Chiba City block, three from the Funabashi block and two from the Tokiwa block advance to the All-Higashikanto tournament..

The four block winners are placed in pre-determined slots in different quadrants of the All-Higashikanto tournament bracket. All other bracket positions were determined in a manner that ensured teams finishing higher in area tournament competition did not meet in the initial rounds of play.

In the tournament's second stage, sixteen teams compete in a single-elimination tournament until four teams remain. These four teams then advance to the third stage, which is a round-robin playoff that determines the Higashikanto champion.
