On May 14, 2011, the 63rd Kantou Spring Tournament officially kicked off.
Twenty teams from eight prefectures in the Kantou region of Japan will gather in Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, to compete over four days to determine the school that can dominate the Kantou region.
Because the tournament uses a knockout system, during the draw, there are bound to be some unlucky teams that need to play an extra round—Waseda Jitsugyo is one of them.
Waseda Jitsugyo's first-round opponent is Tengai High School from Kanagawa Prefecture; they performed exceptionally well in the recently concluded Kanagawa Spring Tournament, defeating many strong opponents to reach the finals, only to lose to Keio University due to exhaustion.
In conclusion, although their on-paper strength is not the strongest, the fighting power they demonstrated in the games should not be underestimated. Waseda Jitsugyo needs to take them seriously and study them carefully.
