When it started originally way back in 2000, this used to be a three match series between the Indian Engineers and the Shizuoka Kytes. The Indian Engineers came up with the three-match series between the two teams after the two friendly matches we played with the Kytes resulted in 1-1, the previous season. In 2002, the British Embassy agreed to participate in this competition thus making it a triangular tournament. In this unique competition, each team plays each other twice and the top two play the final. This is the first of its kind in the Kanto region of Japan.
The tournament underwent a format change in 2004. The teams felt that the tournament is going deep into November every year, a time when it is difficult to play and also to get enough numbers on the field. Hence the new format is:
The tournament underwent a further format change in 2008 when it was expanded to 8 teams, in a straight knockout format as if the teams are playing the quarter finals.
In changing the format of the tournament, the organisers hoped to bridge the gap created by the division of the old KCL into two smaller leagues, which has had the unfortunate result that many teams, including some of the best in the country, no longer meet in a structured competition.
The teams taking part in this year are: Indian Engineers, Shizuoka Kytes, Tokyo Wombats, Paddy Foleys, Indian Tigers, Serendib and Tokyo Predators.
