All-Higashikanto Tournament

Format: This is a two-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, four from the Chiba Chuo block, four from the Chiba block and two from the Tokiwa block advance to the All-Higashikanto tournament.

Kashima Little League, the winner of April's Higashikanto Cup tournament, automatically qualifies for the All-Higashikanto tournament without participating in area tournament competition. Both Kashima and Choshi, the runner-up in the Higashikanto Cup tournament, were placed in pre-determined slots on opposite sides of the All-Higashikanto tournament bracket. All other bracket positions were determined via a lottery.

The Chiba and Chiba Chuo block tournaments used a round-robin format to determine which teams advance to the All-Higashikanto finals. The Hitachi block used a pod-based schedule in which four pod winners, three second-chance pod winners, and one third-chance pod winner advanced to the All-Higashikanto finals.

In the All-Higashikanto tournament's second stage, the twenty remaining teams play a single-elimination tournament that determines the Higashikanto champion.

Tournament Results:

(Chiba Block participants: Funabashi, Funabashi Hokubu, Funabashi Seibu, Ichikawa, and Matsudo)

(Chiba Chuo Block participants: Chiba City, Chiba Higashi, Chosei, Choshi, Narita, Omigawa, and Sawara)

(Hitachi Block participants: Higashi Ibaraki, Hitachi, Hitachi Omiya, Hitachi Ota, Hitachinaka, Kita Ibaraki, Mito, Mito Higashi, Mito Nishi, Ogawa, and Tomobe)

The thirty-four team tournament bracket was drawn so that the top four finishers in April's Tokyo Cup tournament (Musashi Fuchu, Kodaira, Edogawa Minami, and Chofu) are seeded into different portions of the bracket and begin play in the third round.
