The Fall Tournament (秋季東京都高等学校野球大会 Shūki Tōkyō To Kōtō Gakkō Yakyū Taikai) or officially known as the Autumn Tokyo High School Baseball Tournament is a tournament held from October to November to determine the strongest teams in each of the ten regions : Chugoku, Hokkaido, Hokushin'etsu, Kansai, Kantou, Kyushu, Shikoku, Tokyo, Touhoku, and Toukai.[1]
Since third years from each team retire after the Summer, the tournament also tests the strength of the new teams. The winners of this tournament qualify for the Meiji Jingu Tournament and are practically guaranteed an invite to Spring Koshien.
Unlike the qualifying tournaments for Summer Koshien, there are no seedings for teams competing in the Fall Tournament. This makes it more possible to see high profile schools face each other in earlier rounds.
In Act I, the tournament started on October 2 and ended on October 24.
