[About competitions (playing method and ranking method)]
All 18 teams, Block A (4 teams), Block B (4 teams), Block C (4 teams), and Block D (6 teams), will be divided into four blocks.
Blocks A, B, and C will be the usual tournament matches, with two 25-minute half-man matches being played over two days, and the rankings of each block will be determined.
Block D will divide six teams into three leagues (D-1 league and D-2 league), and on the first day, three teams will play round-robin games (one match at 25 minutes (no halftime)), and on the second day, the top teams from each league will hold the finals, and Block D will win.
On the second day, the three teams who finished second and third in the D-1 and D-2 leagues will be round-robin games (one match at 25 minutes (no halftime)) to determine the final ranking.
(However, Matsue Club will only participate on the first day, so rankings will be excluded from Matsue Club.)
