The Summer Koshien (夏の甲子園 Natsu no Kōshien) otherwise known as the National High School Baseball Championship, is an annual baseball tournament held in the Hanshin Koshien Stadium in the Koshien district of Nishinomiya City, Hyōgo, Japan.
It takes place during the summer school vacation period, culminating in a two-week final tournament stage in August in which 49 teams from the 47 prefectures in Japan that won their nation-wide qualifiers will battle through single elimination rounds.[1]
Every prefecture has one team qualify for Summer Koshien by winning their regional tournament[2], with two exceptions. Tokyo is divided into Western and Eastern regionals, and Hokkaido is divided into Northern and Southern regionals. Hence, both of these prefectures have two representatives every year.
In Act I, Koshien took place from August 7-21 and the qualifying tournaments occurred over a 3 week period that ended on July 31.
