All-Tokyo Tournament

Format: The All Tokyo tournament uses a modified double-elimination format that produces two qualifiers for the All-Japan tournament. A double-elimination schedule narrows the initial field to four teams. The winner’s bracket champions advances to the All-Japan tournament, while the three teams remaining in the elimination bracket play a round-robin schedule to determine which league advances as the Tokyo runner-up.

The thirty-four team tournament bracket was drawn so that the top four finishers in April's Tokyo Cup tournament (Tokyo Kitasuna, Tokyo Nakano, Chofu, and Kodaira) are seeded into different portions of the bracket and begin play in the third round. The four next-best finishers in the Tokyo Cup (Akishima, Edogawa Minami, Koganei, and Sumida) are also seeded into specific bracket positions and begin play in the second round. Bracket positions for all other teams are determined randomly.

All-Kanagawa Tournament

Format: This is a three-stage tournament. In the first stage, leagues compete in round-robin area tournaments, and the top finishers in each area advance to the seventeen-team All-Kanagawa tournament.

These four teams then advance to the third stage, which is a round-robin playoff that determines the Kanagawa champion.

Each of the area tournaments consisted of a round-robin schedule. The Eastern, Northern, and Southern areas held their respective area tournaments, and advanced all competing leagues directly to the All-Kanagawa tournament.
