All-Tohoku 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-Tohoku tournament. Three teams from the Fukushima block, three from the Miyagi block, two from the Iwate block, and one league each from the Akita, Aomori, Miyagi Nishi, and Yamagata block all advance to the All-Tohoku tournament.

Bracket positions in the All-Tohoku tournament are determined so that leagues from the same block are placed in different parts of the draw, and so that the winners of blocks with more teams entered in the tournament (Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate) cannot meet until the finals.

In the tournament's second stage, twelve teams compete in a single-elimination tournament until three teams remain. These three teams then advance to the third stage, which is a round-robin playoff that determines the Tohoku champion and runner-up. The top two finishers in the tournament advance to the Japanese Region tournament

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. Five teams from the Ibaraki Hitachi block, four from the Chiba Chuo block, four from the Chiba Souba block, and three 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.
