|Organizer=Mainichi Shimbun Asahi Shimbun Japan Shogi Association}}The '''Jun'i-sen''' (順位戦 ''Jun'isen'') or '''Ranking League''' is a tournament hosted by the newspapers Mainichi Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun in cooperation with the Japan Shogi Association, which acts as a qualifier for the [[Meijin-sen]]. The player with the best record in class A will challenge for the [[Meijin]] title.

== Summary ==
The league consists of 5 classes A, B1, B2, C1, and C2. The top finisher of class A will become Meijin challenger. Even though the reigning Meijin does not participate in the league, their years as Meijin are counted as years in class A when calculating career records.

Each class normally conducts a round-robin or Swiss tournament from June to March, from which the seeds of next year's league are decided. Most new professionals start their career in class C2, with some starting in Free Class instead (not participating in the league). Current rules do not allow skipping classes, which means that new players have to play for at least 5 years from their debut to challenge the Meijin.

Players can be promoted by moving up classes in the league, with their game fee earnings also increasing depending on their class. Other than revenue, players in higher classes also benefit by being exempt from certain preliminary rounds in other tournaments. However, '''a player can be forced to retire immediately or after a fixed time if they lose rights to participate in the league''', a trait not seen in any other tournament.

Around the first third of March every year, all 5 games of class A's last round will be played on the same day, and most of the time the Meijin challenger and the 2 demotees will only be decided then. Due to the long duration of the games, this day is called "the shogi world's longest day", attracting attention outside the shogi world as well. From 2014 onwards, with the exception of 2017, these games have all been played at the Fugetsuro restaurant in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. These games are analyzed live on giant boards at the JSA headquarters in Sendagaya, Tokyo, the Shogi Kaikan at Fukushima, Osaka, and the Osu Hall at Naka, Nagoya. They are also broadcast live on TV and online.

Since the 66th edition, the Mainichi Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun have cooperated to host the tournament. On even-numbered editions, Asahi is listed as the first sponsor and on odd-numbered terms the Mainichi Shimbun will be listed first.

== System ==

=== Classes and promotion/demotion ===
The system is comprised of the 5 classes A to C2, along with Free Class players who will not be playing. The player with the best result of class A gains the right to challenge the Meijin.

Each class's mechanics are described below. Classes that have empty slots (due to players retiring or passing away) will be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.

|}

==== Demotion points (for classes B2, C1, C2) ====

===== Requirement for accumulation =====

* Class B2: The formula for number of players receiving demotion point is (players in class / 4)<ref name=":0">Rounded down to the nearest integer.</ref>.
* Classes C1/C2: The formula for number of players receiving demotion point is (players in class / 4.5)<ref name=":0" />.

===== Requirement for removal =====

* For class C2, removal of demotion points is limited to players with 2 points only. The 1st demotion point will never be removed if the player doesn't promote/demote.
* A player can get a demotion point '''removed''' if they end the league with '''more wins than losses''' or '''finish 5-5''' '''2 years in a row.'''
* If a player meets both the requirement for accumulation and removal of points in the same season, there is no change to said player's status.
* When a player promotes or demotes, their demotion points are reset to 0.

==== Headbumping ====
When multiple players share the same result, with the exception of a tie for Meijin challenger, no playoff will be held. Instead, players will be ranked based on their seed from the start of the season to determine those who promote and those staying behind. When such an event happens, for lower-seeded players failing to promote, it is called '''headbumping''' (頭ハネ ''atamahane'')<ref>Based off the same term in Riichi mahjong.</ref>. The contrary is also true: players can remain or suffer a demotion point based on seed alone, hence a single win in class C2 can later affect one's remaining or demoting from class A.

In class A of the 27th Ranking League held in 1972 contested by 11 players, [[Rensho Nada]] 8-dan, who was on break before, finished 9th overall. Normally, this meant that he was among the 3 players to be demoted, but Nada was not demoted due to his 5-5 result. Regarding this, on the 4 April 1973 issue of the Asahi Shimbun, Nada has said that it "would have been a big problem if 5-5 finishers were demoted". A description of this rule was also found in the August 1958 issue of the Kindai Shogi magazine, indicating that it had been known among players for a long time. However these rules did not exist on paper and the JSA did not have these rules either. As a result, in the 76th Ranking League, where class A was also contested by 11 players, the JSA, the Mainichi Shimbun, and the Asahi Shimbun agreed that if this were to occur again, the player would still be demoted as per usual. On the JSA's website, this was demonstrated with a hypothetical playoff of 7 players who finished 5-4. If a potential demotee failed to challenge the Meijin, they would still be demoted anyway.

==== Exceptions related to promotion ====
Generally, classes B2 to C2 will have 3 promotees each (from term 79). If the number of players finishing 10-0 exceeds the amount of slots, from term 77, it has been clarified that '''all 10-0 finishers will be promoted regardless of seed'''. Before this clarification, there has been no cases of this occuring. There will be no problem if this occurs in classes C2 or C1 as the classes above them both have no fixed player count. However, if this occurs in class B2, next term's class B1 will have an excess amount of players. For example, if 4 players in class B2 finished 10-0, class B1 will play with 14 players next term, and 4 players will be demoted next term. As for classes B1 and A, since these classes play round-robin, there will never arise more than one 10-0 finisher.

==== Adjustments related to over/undercapacity classes ====
Classes A and B1 have a fixed capacity, which means that problems can arise from one of the causes below.

* Classes over capacity
** Players returning from break.
** (only for class B1) More than 3 10-0 finishers promoting from class B2. See Exceptions related to promotion.
* Classes under capacity
** Players retiring/passing away before the draw is conducted, leading to a deficit in their classes.
** Players retiring/passing away during of a league, leading to the rest of their games being treated as a no-show win for their opponents. The class they promote/demote to or remain in will have a deficit.
** (only for class B1) Deficit in demotees due to players on break in class A.
** (only for class B1) Players voluntarily transferring to Free Class.

At the beginning of the season, if there is a player deficit/surplus, the number of demotees will be adjusted accordingly so as to return to the normal capacity. For example, if class A has 11 players, 3 players will be demoted, and if it has 9 players, 1 player will be demoted. Class B1 will also take into account the extra/missing demotees from class A if this occurs.

==== Players on break ====
If for unavoidable reasons such as illness, a player can submit a notice of absence in the 1-year period before the next league to be excluded from all tournaments in that season. If this happens, the player will not be demoted in their first season of absence and will be assigned the lowest seed in their class when they return. This is called "overhang" (張出, ''haridashi''). If they return in class A, class B1 will play with a player deficit and class A with a surplus. However, if the player is absent for 2 years or more, they will start demoting if in class A or B1 and receiving demotion points if in class B2 and below. After they have been absent from class B2 for 3 years, they will directly demote regardless of demotion point count. However, if a player decides to go absent in the middle of a season, the rest of their games will be ruled as a default loss and will count towards their result.

If a player passes away in the middle of a season, the rest of their games will also be ruled default losses, with their opponent receiving a default win. However, the deceased player's losses will not count towards their career statistics. If a player is promoted by way of a default win against a deceased player, their date of promotion will be the scheduled game date.

=== Challenger-deciding playoff ===
If there are multiple players with equal results for the top spot in class A, a ladder-style playoff will be conducted, with the lowest ranked players at the bottom and the highest ranked player at the top.

There have been 21 playoffs held since the new system was established in the 5th edition. Of these, 5 were held with 3 players and 4 with 4 players or more. The most players to have played in a playoff is 6 (in the 76th League).

===== 3-man playoff (5 terms) =====
7th, 12th, 44th, 45th, and 61st (seasons 1953, 1958, 1986, 1987, and 2003 respectively).

===== 4-man or more playoff (4 terms) =====

* 37th edition (1979 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) [[Keiji Mori]] 8-dan, '''[[Kunio Yonenaga]] Kio''', [[Yasuharu Oyama]] 15th Lifetime Meijin, [[Tatsuya Futakami]] 9-dan '''Challenger: Yonenaga''' (lost title match 2-4)
* 50th edition (1992 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) [[Koji Tanigawa]] Ryuo, [[Yoshikazu Minami]] 9-dan, '''[[Michio Takahashi]] 9-dan''', Yasuharu Oyama 15th Lifetime Meijin '''Challenger: Takahashi''' (lost title match 3-4)
* 73rd edition (2015 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) '''[[Hisashi Namekata]] 8-dan''', [[Akira Watanabe]] 2-crown, [[Toshiaki Kubo]] 9-dan, [[Akihito Hirose]] 8-dan '''Challenger: Namekata''' (lost title match 1-4)
* 76th edition (2018 season) - 6-man (6-4 result)<ref>Class A had 11 players this season.</ref> (from highest seed) [[Akira Inaba]] 8-dan, '''[[Yoshiharu Habu]] 3-crown''', [[Akihito Hirose]] 8-dan, [[Yasumitsu Sato]] 9-dan, Toshiaki Kubo Osho, [[Masayuki Toyoshima]] 8-dan '''Challenger: Habu''' (lost title match 2-4)

With the exception of Yoshiharu Habu Ryuo in term 61, no challenger selected via 3-man or above playoff has defeated the reigning Meijin in the title match.

=== Assignment of seed ===
The seeds in each class are assigned in order listed in the table below from top down.

* Results in the above table are sorted in descending order of victories and then in ascending order of seed for players who have the same number of victories.
* For items 6 and 8, players coming from Free Class are sorted by date of qualification for return. The earlier the date, the higher the player's seed.
* If a playoff occurs in class A, the final ranking is decided based on seed alone for players who fail to challenge the Meijin. The challenger will always become Meijin or get seed 1 next term.
* For players going absent for 2 consecutive years or more:
** If in class A or B1, the player is immediately demoted.
** If in class B2 and below, the player gets a demotion point after 2 years and is demoted after 3 years (they get a 2nd demotion point if in class C2).

=== Time control ===

* Class A: 6 hours a side (stopwatch method)
* Class B1 and below: 6 hours a side (chess clock method)

At 6 hours a side, the Ranking League has the longest time control of all qualifying and final rounds of title tournaments, even longer than all 1-day title matches. However, Ranking League games still start at 10am like other non-title match games, with a 40 minute break each for dinner and lunch. Consequently, most league games go on until late at night, and sometimes even to the day after.

From the 75th Ranking League (2016 season) onwards, games in class B2 and below were to be played with chess clock time control rather than the traditional stopwatch method. This is to accommodate for the fact that apprentice school members, who are responsible for record-keeping, sometimes have to take days off school for their job. About this change, [[Akira Watanabe]] has predicted that games "will end 1 hour earlier (on average)". The chess clock method has also been applied to class B1 since the 81st Ranking League.

Moreover, from June that year, the lunch and dinner breaks in games were also shortened from 50 to 40 minutes, with the same intention of shortening games.

If both players use their time well, they will enter byoyomi by about 11:20 PM for class B1 and below and 12:30 AM the next day for class A.

=== Pairings ===
All pairings for each class have been decided before the tournament, along with their turn orders, hence furigoma is not conducted before games.

Turn order in games follow the JSA's guidelines which have been published online<ref>https://www.shogi.or.jp/faq/taikyoku-kitei.html</ref>.

* Turn order for players in each class should be balanced (meaning that players in class B2 and below will play 5 games each with Sente and Gote, players in class B1 will play 6 games with each color, and players in class A will play 4 or 5 games as Sente). Care should be taken to keep the turn orders balanced, and no player should play with the same color for 3 rounds in a row, neither should they play with the same color for their first or last 2 games (this requirement is not mentioned on the JSA site, but on Asahi Shimbun's). These equalizations are carried out on an annual basis however, so a player in class A who played 5 games with Sente in a season may still play 5 games with Sente the next. (However, turn order in class A playoffs are decided with furigoma.)
* For classes A and B1 (round-robin),
** Players will not play their first or last game with their last opponent the season before. However, this does not take effect effect if the player has just demoted/promoted or they were given a bye on the last round of the previous season.
** Players will not play their first game or last 3 games with their teacher, relatives, or students of the same teacher.
* For class B2 and below (no round-robin),
** Players will not play their teacher or relatives.
** Players will not play their first game or last 3 games with students of the same teacher.
* Otherwise for class B2 and below pairing priority is as follows.
** Pairings which have not occurred for the past 3 seasons (required for classes B2 and C1)
** Pairings which have not occurred for the past 2 seasons (as much as possible)
** Pairings where a) neither player's class changed after the previous term, or b) pairings where one or both players have changed classes.
** Pairings where a) neither player's class changed after the previous term AND they have played the previous term but NOT 2 terms ago, or b) pairings where one or both players have changed classes.
** Players will not play against opponents they have met in the last two editions.

==== Computer and human pairing ====
All league pairings used to be set by hand, but computers have been employed for this since the late 1990s for class B1 and below.

Pairings in class A however have always been made manually with Western playing cards. Specifically, 10 cards, from Ace to 10 and 5 of each color (red or black), are flipped down representing 10 players in the class, and 2 cards each are drawn at random to decide pairings. Turn order is also decided with playing cards, where a card is pulled at random from the deck and an experienced player marks a circle or cross depending on the card's color, making adjustments as necessary to follow the rules. At the very end another card is selected to decide which symbol represents Sente.

=== Promotion by league results ===

!Promotion

!to 9-dan
|-
!Requirements
|Promote to class C1
|Promote to class B2
|Promote to class B1
|Promote to class A
|Win the Meijin title
|}
However, if a player has already attained a dan rank equal to or higher that attained by promoting to their league class, they will not dan promote. For example, if a player ranked 7- or 8-dan in class B2 promotes for the first time to class B1, they will not move up a dan. However they will still promote to 9-dan if they win the Meijin title later.

Before the addition of victory count requirements on 1 April 1984, almost all players from 5- to 8-dan were promoted via league class requirements. There still were no particular promotion requirements related to tournaments outside the league. Later on, with the addition of Ryuo-sen related promotion requirements (1987, revised 2006), title challenging/winning requirements and championship win requirements (2009), players were able to attain higher ranks, especially 7-dan, before promoting in the league. The Ryuo dan promotion requirements are especially easy to attain, and there has only been 1 player whose promotions up to 7-dan were all from league promotion: [[Seiya Kondo]]. However, there is a large number of 8-dans who promoted entirely via league. There are currently only 2 players who promoted all the way to 9-dan with only league promotion and winning the Meijin title: [[Koji Tanigawa]] and [[Tadahisa Maruyama]].

=== Free Class ===
The Free Class system was established on 1 April 1994, so players can also focus on public business and spreading shogi. Free Class players will not participate in the league or the Meijin-sen unless they meet at least 1 requirement listed below, but they can still participate in other tournaments. All Free Class players have a fixed age at which they will retire, computed based on their age and the number of years they can stay in Free Class.

Free Class players are divided into 2 categories:

* Players enrolled into Free Class
* Players voluntarily transferred to Free Class

Although both categories are referred to as "Free Class", there are many differences between them.

==== Enrollment into Free Class ====
There are 3 ways in which a player can get enrolled into Free Class.

# A player '''in class C2''' accumulates their '''3rd demotion point''' in which case they will demote to Free Class. If they are 60 or above at the time of accumulating their 3rd point, however, they will '''retire'''.
# If a player '''finishes 3rd twice in the 3-dan League''', they have the '''right to become a professional''' and enroll into Free Class.
#* There have been 7 players who became professionals via this right: [[Yusuke Ina]] (April 1998), [[Shingo Ito]] (April 2007), [[Masakazu Watanabe|Masakazu Yoshida (later Watanabe)]] (October 2008), [[Hiromu Watanabe]] (October 2012), [[Daichi Sasaki]] (April 2016), [[Yusei Koga]] (October 2020), and [[Kanta Masegi]] (April 2023).
#* A player can also choose not to exercise this right and remain in the League. If they decide to do so, they retain 1 3rd-place point and can exercise this right when becoming second runner-up later if they wish.
#** [[Amahiko Sato]] received his 2nd 3rd-place point in the first League of the 2004 season but chose not to become a professional. In the 39th 3-dan League (first of the 2006 season), Sato came in 2nd and entered class C2 instead of Free Class.
# After a '''lady professional or an amateur''' achieves a predetermined result against professionals in official tournaments and pass the entrance exam, they will become a professional and begin enrolled in Free Class.
#* There have been 4 players who became professionals via this route: [[Shoji Segawa]] (November 2005)<ref>Segawa's exam was held as a special case.</ref>, [[Kenji Imaizumi]] (April 2015)<ref>Imaizumi is the first amateur to become professional under the new fixed exam system.</ref>, [[Shogo Orita]] (April 2020), and [[Reo Koyama]] (April 2023).

However, on 1 April 1994 when the Free Class system was established, all active players who were relegated from the Ranking League were also transferred to Free Class (11 in total). These were: [[Kiyoshi Aoki]], [[Hiroharu Seto]], [[Shuichi Ikeda]], [[Ichiro Tanabe]], [[Kinji Shiihashi]], [[Masakazu Wakamatsu]], [[Toratsugu Nomoto]], [[Hiroshi Honma]], [[Hideo Yamaguchi]], [[Masayuki Moriyasu]], and [[Shodo Nakada]].

There were also 4 players who voluntarily transferred to Free Class that day: [[Shoji Kenmochi]], [[Chimine Yamaguchi]], [[Yuji Yoda]], and [[Hiroyuki Iida]].

==== Requirements for return to the League ====
If a player enrolled in Free Class satisfies any of these requirements they will return to class C2 of the League next season with no demotion points.
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!
# Win (number of tournaments + 8) games in a season and have a win rate of 60% or above.
# Win rate of 65% or above in the past 30 consecutive games or more.
# Play (number of tournaments + 1) * 3 games in a season.
# Win a championship with all professionals participating, or challenge a title.
|}
There have been 12 players enrolled into Free Class who resumed participation in the League, with all of them qualifying via requirement 2. However, up until the 80th League, none of them made it to class C1 until [[Yusei Koga]] made it by finishing 3rd overall in the 81th League's class C2, promoting to 5-dan in the process. He later reached class B2 in the 82nd League.

==== Players who have promoted to class C2 from Free Class ====

* Relegated players from class C2 who returned (2)
** [[Hirofumi Ito]] (relegated from class C2 in April 1999 - 57th League, returned to the 61st League after 2 years 1 month on 29 May 2001)
** [[Ryo Shimamoto]] (relegated from class C2 in April 2012 - 70th League, returned to the 75th League after 3 years 4 months on 26 August 2015)
* Twice 3rd-placers in the 3-dan League who obtained promotion (6)
** [[Yusuke Ina]] (entered Free Class in April 1998, entered the 61st League after 3 years 1 month on 7 May 2001)
** [[Masakazu Watanabe]] (entered Free Class in October 2008, entered the 70th League after 2 years 3 months on 19 January 2011)
** [[Shingo Ito]] (entered Free Class in April 2007, entered the 71st League after 4 years 6 months on 26 October 2011)
** [[Hiromu Watanabe]] (entered Free Class in April 2012, entered the 75th League after 2 years 9 months on 8 July 2015)
** [[Daichi Sasaki]] (entered Free Class in April 2016, entered the 76th League after 10 months on 17 February 2017)
** [[Yusei Koga]] (entered Free Class in October 2020, entered the 81st League after 11 months on 8 September 2021)
* Professionals via the entrance exam (4)
** [[Shoji Segawa]] (entered Free Class in November 2005, entered the 69th League after 3 years 6 months on 15 May 2009)
** [[Kenji Imaizumi]] (entered Free Class in April 2015, entered the 76th League after 1 year 7 months on 17 November 2016)
** [[Shogo Orita]] (entered Free Class in April 2020, entered the 83rd League after 3 years 1 month on 10 May 2023)
** [[Reo Koyama]] (entered Free Class in April 2023, will enter the 84th League after 1 year 3 months on 15 July 2024)

==== Retirement for players enrolled into Free Class ====
If a player enrolled into Free Class cannot satisfy the requirements listed in [[User:Kashi/Jun'i-sen#Requirements for return to the League|Requirements for return to the League]] within the period listed below, after '''all of their ongoing tournament games have completed''', they will '''retire'''.

'''Jumei Koike''' (native name: 小池重明), born '''Shigeaki Koike''' (24 December 1947 - 1 May 1992) was an amateur shogi player from Nagoya, Aichi. He was among the top amateurs of his time, his strength even appreciated by professionals such as [[Motoji Hanamura]]. As a shinkenshi (shogi gambler), his ability was considered legendary. Koike was also known by a great number of nicknames such as '''The Hitman of Shinjuku''' or '''Murderer of Professionals'''.

==Life==

===Birth===
Koike was born in 1947 in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. According to books written in his later years, his father was unemployed and would fake being a disabled veteran to beg for money to gamble, while his mother was a prostitute who would serve clients at home and elsewhere. Once, his father told him "A man must learn how to gamble", and from then he spent his early years wildly enthusiastic about shogi. Koike soon became so strong that it is said that he was unrivaled in his hometown by the time he was 15.

===Becoming a shinkenshi===
Soon after, Koike decided to devote himself to making money from shogi alone and dropped out of high school. He found a stay-in job in a shogi center in Ueno, Tokyo, and spent his days polishing his skills to become a professional player. When he was around 22, from a friend's advice, he became a pupil of [[Shigeyuki Matsuda]] 8-dan. However, he was soon absorbed into Tokyo's nightlife, including cabarets and hostess bars, in turn worsening his behavior. Finally, he was caught embezzling money from the dojo where he worked, and was fired. Matsuda also expelled him, thereby destroying his hopes of becoming a professional player.

After giving up on becoming a professional player, Koike returned to Nagoya where he worked a part-time job at a funeral home. Around that time, he married with a woman he had met in Nagoya. He returned to Tokyo yet again and worked hard as a trucker for a shipping company. A few years later, he was struck with misfortune as his first child died some days after birth. The trauma from this caused Koike to quit his job and play shogi for money for days on end at a dojo.

At the dojo Koike was registered to in Shinjuku, Tokyo, he won game after game and soon became a feared shinkenshi known as '''The Hitman of Shinjuku'''. Then, in 1979, at the Tsutenkaku shogi dojo in what was then the Shinsekai district of Osaka, he played a showdown match against Keiji Kaga, considered the strongest shinkenshi in Japan at the time, to determine Japan's number one shinkenshi. After 2 days, the score was 7 wins and 7 losses for each player. Kaga said that he did not believe he could win in another game.

Although he had assumed his position as a powerful shinkenshi, his wife divorced him after a period of separation. To distract himself, Koike started on a degenerated lifestyle where he spent day after day hopping bars and drinking until dead drunk. This situation continued until one day his friends suggested he play in a normal tournament with money prizes. Koike agreed and went on to win said tournament.

===Top amateur and decline===
From being a shinkenshi, Koike turned to being a normal amateur and won 2 Amateur Meijin titles in a row from 1980, truly becoming the strongest amateur player in both name and substance. He has also recorded win after win against professional players, most notably when he defeated reigning Meijin [[Yasuharu Oyama]] in a bishop handicap game. This also raised talks about him potentially becoming a professional, much like [[Motoji Hanamura]], a shinkenshi who also turned professional in 1944.

Being in the limelight, Koike's past as a petty swindler as well as his relations with women were exposed, causing the Japan Shogi Association to rule out the possibility of him becoming a professional in a meeting (before the meeting, he beat up a bar employee while drunk and was taken away by the police just before an Amateur Meijin match). The shock from this caused Koike to step away from shogi for 2 years, making a living by doing manual labor.

===Parting from shogi===
For nearly 10 years after that, Koike's name was never brought up in the amateur shogi world again. Although he was portrayed as an "outlaw kishi" of sorts in comics aimed at teenagers, he was still not very well known among the general public. Moreover, he was so strong a shinkenshi that nobody wanted to wager against him, leading to his eventual departure from shogi. Furthermore, there were places that banned Koike from entering because the yakuza and debt collectors would crash these places when he came in.

===Return===
With the help of Oniroku Dan, a famed writer and shogi fan, Koike made his return to the world of amateur shogi. After retiring from writing erotic novels, Dan was publishing his own shogi magazine, the Shogi Journal. Despite knowing full well of Koike's bad habits, Dan promised to support him due to his desperate pleading and talent for shogi. Afterwards, as part of Dan's project, Koike played games against amateur title holders, winning game after game. Each time, it sparked discussion that "the Hitman of Shinjuku is still alive and well". Dan has also commented that "Koike is a monster when it comes to shogi" due to his overwhelming strength.

However, Dan's real plan was to make Koike lose a crushing game before his own eyes, deterring him from ever playing shogi again, as he had recalled in his books. However, that same year, Koike crushed the reigning Amateur Meijin Takashi Tajiri, surprising Dan, as Koike has not played shogi at all for years (2 according to Dan's writings) and hence it was not likely that he could win at all.

After that, for some time, Koike worked as Dan's personal chauffeur. A friend of Koike who was a shogi fan and also knew Dan offered to let Koike run his yakiniku restaurant. He accepted readily and worked with great manners and skill. However, just 6 months later, Koike disappeared with a woman he was in an affair with and her children. Once again, he cut all contacts and went missing. Finally, Koike reportedly quit shogi again and made a living working as a trucker for a transportation company.

===Final years===
In his 40s, Koike's condition deteriorated as he reported vomiting of blood. He was hospitalized and diagnosed with cirrhosis. During this time, Dan received calls from Koike who was distraught and sobbing: "Sensei, the doctor says I will die soon. I don't want to die. I'm scared. Please help me". As he heard this and rushed to the hospital where Koike was, Koike had lost half of his initial 80kg weight, and the image of a hitman feared by all has all but vanished. However, Koike still spoke of playing shogi. Dan asked: "The opponent is prepared. Would you like a go?", to which Koike responded "By all means, please". He later escaped from the hospital to Dan's house. There, he faced off against Takashi Amano, then praised as the hope of the amateur world. Then, Amano was among the amateurs playing in group 6 of the Ryuo-sen, and was on a 3-win streak against professionals. In Dan's presence, Koike won two crushing games back-to-back. Koike then thanked Dan softly and smiled despite his suffering from the hospital. Dan wrote of this in his works: "Koike seemed to have realized that this would be his final game, yet his smile seemed to say that he had no regrets dying"<ref>After this, Amano lost a replay game against [[Tadahisa Maruyama]] in the Ryuo-sen after an impasse.</ref>.

Finally, a few days after his games against Amano, Koike was hospitalized a second time as he started vomiting blood again. In the hospital room, he ended his own life by tearing off the tube connected to his body.

==After death==
Koike's grave was erected at Kiyozumi Shirakawa Public Cemetery in Tokyo. His Dharma name was Kishoin Norishige Shinji (棋勝院法重信士). However, his grave tablet was stolen by someone after his death and is still missing. Keiko Yukawa (wife of shogi writer Hiroshi Yukawa and former Ladies' Amateur Meijin) said that some months before he died, he visited the head priest of a temple.

Oniroku Dan, who helped Koike through his troubled later years, published a biography about Koike titled "Shinkenshi Koike Jumei" in 1995, his first work after 6 years. An episode on him titled "Good-for-nothing: Shinkenshi Jumei Koike" was aired on 6 February 1997 by the Asahi Broadcasting corporation, and Nippon TV Network also aired an episode titled "Legend of a shogi player called a hitman" on 26 March 1998 as part of its 111 great people series commemorating the end of the millenium. These made Koike's name known widely among the general public. Later on, Dan and Kunio Miyazaki (shogi dojo owner and sworn friend of Koike) published books, kifu compilations, and manga about Koike, causing a so-called Jumei Koike boom.

==Personal life==

*Koike never studied shogi in his daily life - he never had a shogi board at home to start with.
*He was also known for not preparing for any specific opponent. In tournaments, it was said that Koike would enter the playing hall drunk and sleep in the waiting room until staff shook him awake. However, getting shook awake did not really affect Koike - he would win a crushing victory anyway.
*After he established his reputation as one of Japan's strongest shinkenshi, the number of challengers dropped dramatically. Later on, when Koike told Dan that he would repay his debts with shogi, Dan shouted at him: "You would not find anyone in all of Japan who would wager against Jumei Koike!".
*The night before a game against [[Yasuharu Oyama]], Koike was drunk and got involved in an assault case, and was detained. His friends contacted the local assemblyman to get Koike released and he made it in time for the game. Koike started crushing the game (played with a bishop handicap) from the middlegame, and he won in such little time that those around him turned pale.

*[[Kozo Masuda]], a lifetime opponent of Yasuharu Oyama who had then recently retired played a bishop handicap game hosted by the Libertin magazine against Koike. It was his first game after retirement. Before the game, Koike had remarked: "I feel bad for bullying the elderly" and "He (Masuda) has become weaker with age and has retired recently. I wish I had played him in his prime". However, during the game, in the position shown on the right, Masuda had placed his king atop his rook, choosing to use the very rare Climbing King strategy instead of the more common Climbing Silver. In the diagram, Koike had just decided to attack on the 8th file with P*85. Koike's plan is to force Masuda to save his gold with G-94, after which Koike can play R-88 or Bx86, pinning Masuda's pieces down. However, Masuda laughed and played Gx85 in response, exchanging a gold for a pawn. If Koike takes back, P-87+ creates a tokin while attacking Koike's rook and leaving him with no pawns as well, making it very hard to respond. After a long period of thinking Koike decided to play the dubious move P-74, turning the game into a one-sided victory for Masuda. After the game, Masuda remarked: "You truly are an amateur.... It seems that you have forgotten that I am a professional". A banquet was to be held after the game, and while Koike had wanted to leave, he was held back and made to participate.
*In the year Showa 56 (1981), Koike played the professional with the highest winning rate at the time - [[Torahiko Tanaka]] 5-dan, who achieved it using his new Static Rook Anaguma strategy. Koike won the game, with Tanaka using, of course, Static Rook Anaguma.
*Although Koike appears broadminded, he can get very nervous at times. An anecdote says that during a game, Koike was visibly nervous when a leading professional player was next to him, and his opponent asked the spectators to leave after noticing.
*During [[Yoshiharu Habu]]'s time as a primary school student, he had witnessed Koike playing a game by chance. Habu was assigned as the record keeper for a qualifying game in the Western Tokyo qualifiers of the Amateur Meijin-sen. After Habu became a professional, he said of Koike: "His style of shogi is very unconventional, much like how he lived. However, it was very clear that he was very strong".
*In 1981, he played against [[Motoji Hanamura]], a former shinkenshi who became professional. Hanamura won.
*In 1982, Koike played 3 games (bishop handicap, lance handicap, and even) and won all of them against [[Keiji Mori]], who was just about to claim his Kisei title. There were supposed to be breaks in between games, but Mori's stubbornness made him request Koike to play immediately. Later, Mori said: "That was when I got angry. If we ever play again, I will never lose".
*In 1982, Koike also played and lost against first year junior high student [[Satoshi Murayama]]. Murayama had just been eliminated in the final 8 of the junior high Meijin-sen, and this win helped him recover his self-confidence.
*Debt collectors heard of a shogi tournament hosted by the Yomiuri Shimbun with a prize of 1 million yen for the winner. They knew that no one but Koike could win in such a high-stakes tournament, and Koike was not even left with a single yen after eventually winning.
*When Oniroku Dan offered to hire Koike as his personal chauffeur so he could repay his loans, Koike replied: "That's impossible". In fact, in running away from debt collectors, Koike's driving license had expired, and since he was broke, Dan had to pay for his license out of his own pocket.
*When Dan and Koike went on a trip, they stayed at a ryokan for one night. The morning after, Koike gave Dan some money, saying that "Sensei, this is your share". While Dan was sleeping, Koike had met some travellers who liked gambling, and defeated every single one of them in money shogi games. When Dan asked "They would not take the gamble if you can't show that you have money. Do you have that much money?", Koike replied that he did not. In fact, Koike had shown the sleeping Dan to the travellers and said "This is my employer. If I lose, he will pay". Dan was shocked and asked what he would do had he lost. Koike laughed and simply replied "There's no way I would lose to an amateur" and that "nobody here knows I am that Koike, and even if I were to play the prefectural representative, the odds would be 2:1".
*As an amateur 6-dan, Dan was among the strongest players in the literary world, and he lost around 50 betting games of rook handicap against Koike without winning once. According to Dan's account in a shogi magazine, during the game, Koike called out to him, "If you'd like, I'll sell you some pieces," and a zealous Dan bought the pieces as was told. However, he was powerless to deal with Koike's skillful moves.

== Record against professionals ==

* Total record: 15 wins - 11 losses (win rate 57.7%)
* Equal game record: 10 wins - 8 losses (win rate 55.6%)
* Handicap game record: 5 wins - 3 losses (win rate 62.5%)

|Organizer=Mainichi Shimbun Asahi Shimbun Japan Shogi Association}}The '''Jun'i-sen''' (順位戦 ''Jun'isen'') or '''Ranking League''' is a tournament hosted by the newspapers Mainichi Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun in cooperation with the Japan Shogi Association, which acts as a qualifier for the Meijin-sen. The player with the best record in class A will challenge for the [[Meijin]] title.

== Summary ==
The league consists of 5 classes A, B1, B2, C1, and C2. The top finisher of class A will become Meijin challenger. Even though the reigning Meijin does not participate in the league, their years as Meijin are counted as years in class A when calculating career records.

Each class normally conducts a round-robin or Swiss tournament from June to March, from which the seeds of next year's league are decided. Most new professionals start their career in class C2, with some starting in Free Class instead (not participating in the league). Current rules do not allow skipping classes, which means that new players have to play for at least 5 years from their debut to challenge the Meijin.

Players can be promoted by moving up classes in the league, with their game fee earnings also increasing depending on their class. Other than revenue, players in higher classes also benefit by being exempt from certain preliminary rounds in other tournaments. However, '''a player can be forced to retire immediately or after a fixed time if they lose rights to participate in the league''', a trait not seen in any other tournament.

Around the first third of March every year, all 5 games of class A's last round will be played on the same day, and most of the time the Meijin challenger and the 2 demotees will only be decided then. Due to the long duration of the games, this day is called "the shogi world's longest day", attracting attention outside the shogi world as well. From 2014 onwards, with the exception of 2017, these games have all been played at the Fugetsuro restaurant in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. These games are analyzed live on giant boards at the JSA headquarters in Sendagaya, Tokyo, the Shogi Kaikan at Fukushima, Osaka, and the Osu Hall at Naka, Nagoya. They are also broadcast live on TV and online.

Since the 66th edition, the Mainichi Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun have cooperated to host the tournament. On even-numbered editions, Asahi is listed as the first sponsor and on odd-numbered terms the Mainichi Shimbun will be listed first.

== System ==

=== Classes and promotion/demotion ===
The system is comprised of the 5 classes A to C2, along with Free Class players who will not be playing. The player with the best result of class A gains the right to challenge the Meijin.

Each class's mechanics are described below. Classes that have empty slots (due to players retiring or passing away) will be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.

|After a certain number of years (1-8) have passed the player will retire after either of the below is satisfied, whichever is faster:

* Player reaches 65 years of age at the end of season
* Another 15 years have passed
|}

==== Demotion points (for classes B2, C1, C2) ====

===== Requirement for accumulation =====

* Class B2: The formula for number of players receiving demotion point is (players in class / 4)<ref name=":0">Rounded down to the nearest integer.</ref>.
* Classes C1/C2: The formula for number of players receiving demotion point is (players in class / 4.5)<ref name=":0" />.

===== Requirement for removal =====

* For class C2, removal of demotion points is limited to players with 2 points only. The 1st demotion point will never be removed if the player doesn't promote/demote.
* A player can get a demotion point '''removed''' if they end the league with '''more wins than losses''' or '''finish 5-5''' '''2 years in a row.'''
* If a player meets both the requirement for accumulation and removal of points in the same season, there is no change to said player's status.
* When a player promotes or demotes, their demotion points are reset to 0.

==== Headbumping ====
When multiple players share the same result, with the exception of a tie for Meijin challenger, no playoff will be held. Instead, players will be ranked based on their seed from the start of the season to determine those who promote and those staying behind. When such an event happens, for lower-seeded players failing to promote, it is called '''headbumping''' (頭ハネ ''atamahane'')<ref>Based off the same term in Riichi mahjong.</ref>. The contrary is also true: players can remain or suffer a demotion point based on seed alone, hence a single win in class C2 can later affect one's remaining or demoting from class A.

In class A of the 27th Ranking League held in 1972 contested by 11 players, [[Rensho Nada]] 8-dan, who was on break before, finished 9th overall. Normally, this meant that he was among the 3 players to be demoted, but Nada was not demoted due to his 5-5 result. Regarding this, on the 4 April 1973 issue of the Asahi Shimbun, Nada has said that it "would have been a big problem if 5-5 finishers were demoted". A description of this rule was also found in the August 1958 issue of the Kindai Shogi magazine, indicating that it had been known among players for a long time. However these rules did not exist on paper and the JSA did not have these rules either. As a result, in the 76th Ranking League, where class A was also contested by 11 players, the JSA, the Mainichi Shimbun, and the Asahi Shimbun agreed that if this were to occur again, the player would still be demoted as per usual. On the JSA's website, this was demonstrated with a hypothetical playoff of 7 players who finished 5-4. If a potential demotee failed to challenge the Meijin, they would still be demoted anyway.

==== Exceptions related to promotion ====
Generally, classes B2 to C2 will have 3 promotees each (from term 79). If the number of players finishing 10-0 exceeds the amount of slots, from term 77, it has been clarified that '''all 10-0 finishers will be promoted regardless of seed'''. Before this clarification, there has been no cases of this occuring. There will be no problem if this occurs in classes C2 or C1 as the classes above them both have no fixed player count. However, if this occurs in class B2, next term's class B1 will have an excess amount of players. For example, if 4 players in class B2 finished 10-0, class B1 will play with 14 players next term, and 4 players will be demoted next term. As for classes B1 and A, since these classes play round-robin, there will never arise more than one 10-0 finisher.

==== Adjustments related to over/undercapacity classes ====
Classes A and B1 have a fixed capacity, which means that problems can arise from one of the causes below.

* Classes over capacity
** Players returning from break.
** (only for class B1) More than 3 10-0 finishers promoting from class B2. See Exceptions related to promotion.
* Classes under capacity
** Players retiring/passing away before the draw is conducted, leading to a deficit in their classes.
** Players retiring/passing away in the midst of a league, leading to the rest of their games being treated as a no-show win for their opponents. The class they promote/demote to or remain in will have a deficit.
** (only for class B1) Deficit in demotees due to players on break in class A.
** (only for class B1) Players voluntarily transferring to Free Class.

At the beginning of the season, if there is a player deficit/surplus, the number of demotees will be adjusted accordingly so as to return to the normal capacity. For example, if class A has 11 players, 3 players will be demoted, and if it has 9 players, 1 player will be demoted. Class B1 will also take into account the extra/missing demotees from class A if this occurs.

==== Players on break ====
If for unavoidable reasons such as illness, a player can submit a notice of absence in the 1-year period before the next league to be excluded from all tournaments in that season. If this happens, the player will not be demoted in their first season of absence and will be assigned the lowest seed in their class when they return. This is called "overhang" (張出, ''haridashi''). If they return in class A, class B1 will play with a player deficit and class A with a surplus. However, if the player is absent for 2 years or more, they will start demoting if in class A or B1 and receiving demotion points if in class B2 and below. After they have been absent from class B2 for 3 years, they will directly demote regardless of demotion point count. However, if a player decides to go absent in the middle of a season, the rest of their games will be ruled as a default loss and will count for their result.

If a player passes away in the middle of a season, the rest of their games will also be ruled default losses, with their opponent receiving a default win. However, the deceased player's losses will not count towards their career statistics. If a player is promoted by way of a default win against a deceased player, their date of promotion will be the scheduled game date.

=== Challenger-deciding playoff ===
If there are multiple players with equal results for the top spot in class A, a ladder-style playoff will be conducted, with the lowest ranked players at the bottom and the highest ranked player at the top.

There have been 21 playoffs held since the new system was established in the 5th edition. Of these, 5 were held with 3 players and 4 with 4 players or more. The most players to have played in the playoff is 6 (in the 76th).

===== 3-man playoff (5 terms) =====
7th, 12th, 44th, 45th, and 61st (seasons 1953, 1958, 1986, 1987, and 2003 respectively).

===== 4-man or more playoff (4 terms) =====

* 37th edition (1979 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) [[Keiji Mori]] 8-dan, '''[[Kunio Yonenaga]] Kio''', [[Yasuharu Oyama]] 15th Lifetime Meijin, [[Tatsuya Futakami]] 9-dan '''Challenger: Yonenaga''' (lost title match 2-4)
* 50th edition (1992 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) [[Koji Tanigawa]] Ryuo, [[Yoshikazu Minami]] 9-dan, '''[[Michio Takahashi]] 9-dan''', Yasuharu Oyama 15th Lifetime Meijin '''Challenger: Takahashi''' (lost title match 3-4)
* 73rd edition (2015 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) '''[[Hisashi Namekata]] 8-dan''', [[Akira Watanabe]] 2-crown, [[Toshiaki Kubo]] 9-dan, [[Akihito Hirose]] 8-dan '''Challenger: Namekata''' (lost title match 1-4)
* 76th edition (2018 season) - 6-man (6-4 result)<ref>Class A had 11 players this season.</ref> (from highest seed) [[Akira Inaba]] 8-dan, '''[[Yoshiharu Habu]] 3-crown''', [[Akihito Hirose]] 8-dan, [[Yasumitsu Sato]] 9-dan, Toshiaki Kubo Osho, [[Masayuki Toyoshima]] 8-dan '''Challenger: Habu''' (lost title match 2-4)

With the exception of Yoshiharu Habu Ryuo in the 61st, no challenger selected via 3-man or above playoff has defeated the reigning Meijin in the title match.

=== Assignment of seed ===
The seeds in each class are assigned in order listed in the table below from top down.

* Results in the above table are sorted in descending order of victories and then in ascending order of seed for players who have the same number of victories.
* For items 6 and 8, players coming from Free Class are sorted by date of qualification for return. The earlier the date, the higher the player's seed.
* If a playoff occurs in class A, the final ranking is decided based on seed alone for players who fail to challenge the Meijin. The challenger will always become Meijin or get seed 1 next term.
* For players going absent for 2 consecutive years or more:
** If in class A or B1, the player is immediately demoted.
** If in class B2 and below, the player gets a demotion point after 2 years and is demoted after 3 years (they get a 2nd demotion point if in class C2).

=== Time control ===

* Class A: 6 hours a side (stopwatch method)
* Class B1 and below: 6 hours a side (chess clock method)

At 6 hours a side, the Ranking League has the longest time control of all qualifying and final rounds of title tournaments, even longer than all 1-day title matches. However, Ranking League games still start at 10am like other non-title match games, with a 40 minute break each for dinner and lunch. Consequently, most league games go on until late at night, and sometimes even to the day after.

From the 75th Ranking League (2016 season) onwards, games in class B2 and below were to be played with chess clock time control rather than the traditional stopwatch method. This is to accommodate for the fact that apprentice school members, who are responsible for record-keeping, sometimes have to take days off school for their job. About this change, [[Akira Watanabe]] has predicted that games "will end 1 hour earlier (on average)". The chess clock method has also been applied to class B1 since the 81st Ranking League.

Moreover, from June that year, the lunch and dinner breaks in games were also shortened from 50 to 40 minutes, with the same intention of shortening games.

If both players use their time well, they will enter byoyomi by about 11:20 PM for class B1 and below and 12:30 AM the next day for class A.

=== Pairings ===
All pairings for each class have been decided before the tournament, along with their turn orders, hence furigoma is not conducted before games.

Turn order in games follow the JSA's guidelines which have been published online<ref>https://www.shogi.or.jp/faq/taikyoku-kitei.html</ref>.

* Turn order for players in each class should be balanced (meaning that players in class B2 and below will play 5 games each with Sente and Gote, players in class B1 will play 6 games with each color, and players in class A will play 4 or 5 games as Sente). Care should be taken to keep the turn orders balanced, and no player should play with the same color for 3 rounds in a row, neither should they play with the same color for their first or last 2 games (this requirement is not mentioned on the JSA site, but on Asahi Shimbun's). These equalizations are carried out on an annual basis however, so a player in class A who played 5 games with Sente in a season may still play 5 games with Sente the next. (However, turn order in class A playoffs are decided with furigoma.)
* For classes A and B1 (round-robin),
** Players will not play their first or last game with their last opponent the season before. However, this does not take effect effect if the player has just demoted/promoted or they were given a bye on the last round of the previous season.
** Players will not play their first game or last 3 games with their teacher, relatives, or students of the same teacher.
* For class B2 and below (no round-robin),
** Players will not play their teacher or relatives.
** Players will not play their first game or last 3 games with students of the same teacher.
* Otherwise for class B2 and below pairing priority is as follows.
** Pairings which have not occurred for the past 3 seasons (required for classes B2 and C1)
** Pairings which have not occurred for the past 2 seasons (as much as possible)
** Pairings where a) neither player's class changed after the previous term, or b) pairings where one or both players have changed classes.
** Pairings where a) neither player's class changed after the previous term AND they have played the previous term but NOT 2 terms ago, or b) pairings where one or both players have changed classes.
** Players will not play against opponents they have met in the last two editions.

==== Computer and human pairing ====
All league pairings used to be set by hand, but computers have been employed for this since the late 1990s for class B1 and below.

Pairings in class A however have always been made manually with Western playing cards. Specifically, 10 cards, from Ace to 10 and 5 of each color (red or black), are flipped down representing 10 players in the class, and 2 cards each are drawn at random to decide pairings. Turn order is also decided with playing cards, where a card is pulled at random from the deck and an experienced player marks a circle or cross depending on the card's color, making adjustments as necessary to follow the rules. At the very end another card is selected to decide which symbol represents Sente.

=== Promotion by league results ===

!Requirements

|Promote to class B2
|Promote to class B1
|Promote to class A
|Win the Meijin title
|}
However, if a player has already attained a dan rank equal to or higher that attained by promoting to their league class, they will not dan promote. For example, if a player ranked 7- or 8-dan in class B2 promotes for the first time to class B1, they will not move up a dan. However they will still promote to 9-dan if they win the Meijin title later.

Before the addition of victory count requirements on 1 April 1984, almost all players from 5- to 8-dan were promoted via league class requirements. There still were no particular promotion requirements related to tournaments outside the league. Later on, with the addition of Ryuo-sen related promotion requirements (1987, revised 2006), title challenging/winning requirements and championship win requirements (2009), players were able to attain higher ranks, especially 7-dan, before promoting in the league. The Ryuo dan promotion requirements are especially easy to attain, and there has only been 1 player whose promotions up to 7-dan were all from league promotion: [[Seiya Kondo]]. However, there is a large number of 8-dans who promoted entirely via league. There are currently only 2 players who promoted all the way to 9-dan with only league promotion and winning the Meijin title: [[Koji Tanigawa]] and [[Tadahisa Maruyama]].

=== Free Class ===
The Free Class system was established on 1 April 1994, so players can also focus on public business and spreading shogi. Free Class players will not participate in the league or the Meijin-sen unless they meet at least 1 requirement listed below, but they can still participate in other tournaments. All Free Class players have a fixed age at which they will retire, computed based on their age and the number of years they can stay in Free Class.

Free Class players are divided into 2 categories:

* Players enrolled into Free Class
* Players voluntarily transferred to Free Class

Although both categories are referred to as "Free Class", there are many differences between them.

==== Enrollment into Free Class ====
There are 3 ways in which a player can get enrolled into Free Class.

# A player '''in class C2''' accumulates their '''3rd demotion point''' in which case they will demote to Free Class. If they are 60 or above at the time of accumulating their 3rd point, however, they will '''retire'''.
# If a player '''finishes 3rd twice in the 3-dan League''', they have the '''right to become a professional''' and enroll into Free Class.
#* There have been 7 players who became professionals via this right: [[Yusuke Ina]] (April 1998), [[Shingo Ito]] (April 2007), [[Masakazu Watanabe|Masakazu Yoshida (later Watanabe)]] (October 2008), [[Hiromu Watanabe]] (October 2012), [[Daichi Sasaki]] (April 2016), [[Yusei Koga]] (October 2020), and [[Kanta Masegi]] (April 2023).
#* A player can also choose not to exercise this right and remain in the League. If they decide to do so, they retain 1 3rd-place point and can exercise this right when becoming second runner-up later if they wish.
#** [[Amahiko Sato]] received his 2nd 3rd-place point in the first League of the 2004 season but chose not to become a professional. In the 39th 3-dan League (first of the 2006 season), Sato came in 2nd and entered class C2 instead of Free Class.
# After a '''lady professional or an amateur''' achieves a predetermined result against professionals in official tournaments and pass the entrance exam, they will become a professional and begin enrolled in Free Class.
#* There have been 4 players who became professionals via this route: [[Shoji Segawa]] (November 2005)<ref>Segawa's exam was held as a special case.</ref>, [[Kenji Imaizumi]] (April 2015)<ref>Imaizumi is the first amateur to become professional under the new fixed exam system.</ref>, [[Shogo Orita]] (April 2020), and [[Reo Koyama]] (April 2023).

However, on 1 April 1994 when the Free Class system was established, all active players who were relegated from the Ranking League were also transferred to Free Class (11 in total). These were: [[Kiyoshi Aoki]], [[Hiroharu Seto]], [[Shuichi Ikeda]], [[Ichiro Tanabe]], [[Kinji Shiihashi]], [[Masakazu Wakamatsu]], [[Toratsugu Nomoto]], [[Hiroshi Honma]], [[Hideo Yamaguchi]], [[Masayuki Moriyasu]], and [[Shodo Nakada]].

There were also 4 players who voluntarily transferred to Free Class that day: [[Shoji Kenmochi]], [[Chimine Yamaguchi]], [[Yuji Yoda]], and [[Hiroyuki Iida]].

==== Requirements for return to the League ====
If a player enrolled in Free Class satisfies any of these requirements they will return to class C2 of the League next season with no demotion points.
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!
# Win (number of tournaments + 8) games in a season and have a win rate of 60% or above.
# Win rate of 65% or above in the past 30 consecutive games or more.
# Play (number of tournaments + 1) * 3 games in a season.
# Win a championship with all professionals participating, or challenge a title.
|}
There have been 12 players enrolled into Free Class who resumed participation in the League, with all of them qualifying via requirement 2. However, up until the 80th League, none of them made it to class C1 until [[Yusei Koga]] made it by finishing 3rd overall in the 81th League's class C2, promoting to 5-dan in the process. He later reached class B2 in the 82nd League.

==== Players who have promoted to class C2 from Free Class ====

* Relegated players from class C2 who returned (2)
** [[Hirofumi Ito]] (relegated from class C2 in April 1999 - 57th League, returned to the 61st League after 2 years 1 month on 29 May 2001)
** [[Ryo Shimamoto]] (relegated from class C2 in April 2012 - 70th League, returned to the 75th League after 3 years 4 months on 26 August 2015)
* Twice 3rd-placers in the 3-dan League who obtained promotion (6)
** [[Yusuke Ina]] (entered Free Class in April 1998, entered the 61st League after 3 years 1 month on 7 May 2001)
** [[Masakazu Watanabe]] (entered Free Class in October 2008, entered the 70th League after 2 years 3 months on 19 January 2011)
** [[Shingo Ito]] (entered Free Class in April 2007, entered the 71st League after 4 years 6 months on 26 October 2011)
** [[Hiromu Watanabe]] (entered Free Class in April 2012, entered the 75th League after 2 years 9 months on 8 July 2015)
** [[Daichi Sasaki]] (entered Free Class in April 2016, entered the 76th League after 10 months on 17 February 2017)
** [[Yusei Koga]] (entered Free Class in October 2020, entered the 81st League after 11 months on 8 September 2021)
* Players who turned professional via the exam (4)
** [[Shoji Segawa]] (entered Free Class in November 2005, entered the 69th League after 3 years 6 months on 15 May 2009)
** [[Kenji Imaizumi]] (entered Free Class in April 2015, entered the 76th League after 1 year 7 months on 17 November 2016)
** [[Shogo Orita]] (entered Free Class in April 2020, entered the 83rd League after 3 years 1 month on 10 May 2023)
** [[Reo Koyama]] (entered Free Class in April 2023, will enter the 84th League after 1 year 3 months on 15 July 2024)

|Organizer=Mainichi Shimbun Asahi Shimbun Japan Shogi Association}}The '''Jun'i-sen''' (順位戦 ''Jun'isen'') or '''Ranking League''' is a tournament hosted by the newspapers Mainichi Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun in cooperation with the Japan Shogi Association, which acts as a qualifier for the Meijin-sen. The player with the best record in class A will challenge for the [[Meijin]] title.

== Summary ==
The league consists of 5 classes A, B1, B2, C1, and C2. The top finisher of class A will become Meijin challenger. Even though the Meijin themselves do not participate in the league, their years as Meijin are counted as years in class A as well when calculating career records.

Each class normally conducts a round-robin tournament from June to March of the following year, from which the seeds of next year's league are decided. Most new professionals start their career in class C2, with some starting in Free Class instead (not participating in the league). Current rules do not allow skipping classes in promotion, which means that new players have to play for at least 5 years from their debut to challenge the Meijin.

Players can be promoted by moving up classes in the league, with their game fee earnings also increasing depending on their class. Other than revenue, players in higher classes also benefit by being exempt from certain preliminary rounds in other tournaments. However, '''a player can be forced to retire immediately or after a fixed time if they lose rights to participate in the league''', a trait not seen in any other tournament.

Around the first third of March every year, all 5 games of class A's last round will be played on the same day, and most of the time the Meijin challenger and the 2 demotees will only be decided then. Due to the long duration of the games, this day is called "the shogi world's longest day", attracting attention outside of the shogi world as well. From 2014 onwards, with the exception of 2017, these games have all been played at the Fugetsuro restaurant in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. These games are analyzed live on giant boards at the JSA headquarters in Sendagaya, Tokyo, the Shogi Kaikan at Fukushima, Osaka, and the Osu Hall at Naka, Nagoya. They are also streamed live on TV and online.

From term 66, the Mainichi Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun have cooperated to host the tournament. On even-numbered terms, Asahi will be listed as the first sponsor and on odd-numbered terms the Mainichi Shimbun will be listed first.

== System ==

=== Classes and promotion/demotion ===
The system is comprised of the 5 classes A to C2, along with Free Class players who will not be playing. The player with the best result of class A gains the right to challenge the Meijin.

Each class's mechanics are described below. Classes that have empty slots (due to players retiring or passing away) will be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.

|After a certain number of years (1-8) have passed the player will retire after either of the below is satisfied, whichever is faster:

|}

==== Demotion points (for classes B2, C1, C2) ====

===== Requirement for accumulation =====

* Class B2: The formula for number of players receiving demotion point is (players in class / 4)<ref name=":0">Rounded down to the nearest integer.</ref>.
* Classes C1/C2: The formula for number of players receiving demotion point is (players in class / 4.5)<ref name=":0" />.

===== Requirement for removal =====

* For class C2, removal of demotion points is limited to players with 2 points only. The 1st demotion point will never be removed if the player doesn't promote/demote.
* A player can get a demotion point '''removed''' if they end the league with '''more wins than losses''' or '''finish 5-5''' '''2 years in a row.'''
* If a player meets both the requirement for accumulation and removal of points in the same season, there is no change to said player's status.
* When a player promotes or demotes, their demotion points are reset to 0.

==== Headbumping ====
When multiple players share the same result, with the exception of a tie for Meijin challenger, no playoff will be held. Instead, players will be ranked based on their seed from the start of the season to determine those who promote and those staying behind. When such an event happens, for lower-seeded players failing to promote, it is called '''headbumping''' (頭ハネ ''atamahane'')<ref>Based off the same term in Riichi mahjong.</ref>. The contrary is also true: players can remain or suffer a demotion point based on seed alone, hence a single win in class C2 can later affect one's remaining or demoting from class A.

In class A of the 27th Ranking League held in 1972 contested by 11 players, [[Rensho Nada]] 8-dan, who was on break the term before, finished 9th overall. Normally, this meant that he was among the 3 players to be demoted, but Nada was not demoted due to his 5-5 result. Regarding this, on the 4 April 1973 issue of the Asahi Shimbun, Nada has said that it "would have been a big problem if 5-5 finishers were demoted". A description of this rule was also found in the August 1958 issue of the Kindai Shogi magazine, indicating that it had been known among players for a long time. However these rules did not exist on paper and the JSA did not have these rules either. As a result, in the 76th Ranking League, where class A was also contested by 11 players, the JSA, the Mainichi Shimbun, and the Asahi Shimbun agreed that if this were to occur again, the player would still be demoted as per usual. On the JSA's website, this was demonstrated with a hypothetical playoff of 7 players who finished 5-4. If a potential demotee failed to challenge the Meijin, they would still be demoted anyway.

==== Exceptions related to promotion ====
Generally, classes B2 to C2 will have 3 promotees each (from term 79). If the number of players finishing 10-0 exceeds the amount of slots, from term 77, it has been clarified that '''all 10-0 finishers will be promoted regardless of seed'''. Before this clarification, there has been no cases of this occuring. There will be no problem if this occurs in classes C2 or C1 as the classes above them both have no fixed player count. However, if this occurs in class B2, next term's class B1 will have an excess amount of players. For example, if 4 players in class B2 finished 10-0, class B1 will play with 14 players next term, and 4 players will be demoted next term. As for classes B1 and A, since these classes play round-robin, there will never arise more than one 10-0 finisher.

==== Adjustments related to over/undercapacity classes ====
Classes A and B1 have a fixed capacity, which means that problems can arise from one of the causes below.

* Overcapacity classes
** Players returning from break.
** (only for class B1) More than 3 10-0 finishers promoting from class B2. See Exceptions related to promotion.
* Undercapacity classes
** Players retiring/passing away before the draw is conducted, leading to a deficit in their classes.
** Players retiring/passing away in the midst of a league, leading to the rest of their games being treated as a no-show win for their opponents, and the class they promote/demote to or remain in will have a deficit.
** (only for class B1) Deficit in demotees due to players on break in class A.
** (only for class B1) Players voluntarily transferring to Free Class.

At the beginning of the season, if there is a player deficit/surplus, the number of demotees will be adjusted accordingly so as to return to the normal capacity. For example, if class A has 11 players, 3 players will be demoted, and if it has 9 players, 1 player will be demoted. Class B1 will also take into account the extra/missing demotees from class A if this occurs.

==== Players on break ====
If for unavoidable reasons such as illness, a player can submit a notice of absence in the 1-year period before the next league to be excluded from all tournaments in that season. If this happens, the player will not be demoted in their first season of absence and will be assigned the lowest seed in their class when they return. This is called "overhang" (張出, ''haridashi''). If they return in class A, class B1 will play with a player deficit and class A with a surplus. However, if the player is absent for 2 years or more, they will start demoting if in class A or B1 and receiving demotion points if in class B2 and below. After they have been absent from class B2 for 3 years, they will directly demote regardless of demotion point count. However, if a player decides to go absent in the middle of a season, the rest of their games will be ruled as a default loss and they will be demoted/promoted as per usual.

If a player passes away in the middle of a season, the rest of their games will also be ruled default losses, with their opponent receiving a default win. However, the deceased player's losses will not count towards their career statistics. If a player is promoted by way of a default win against a deceased player, their date of promotion will be the scheduled game date.

=== Challenger-deciding playoff ===
If there are multiple players with equal results for the top spot in class A, a ladder-style playoff will be conducted, with the lowest ranked players at the bottom and the highest ranked player at the top.

There have been 21 playoffs held since the new system was established in term 5. Of these, 5 were held with 3 players and 4 with 4 players or more. The most players to have played in the playoff is 6 (in term 76).

===== 3-man playoff (5 terms) =====
Terms 7, 12, 44, 45, and 61 (seasons 1953, 1958, 1986, 1987, and 2003 respectively).

===== 4-man or more playoff (4 terms) =====

* Term 37 (1979 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) [[Keiji Mori]] 8-dan, '''[[Kunio Yonenaga]] Kio''', [[Yasuharu Oyama]] 15th Lifetime Meijin, [[Tatsuya Futakami]] 9-dan '''Challenger: Yonenaga''' (lost title match 2-4)
* Term 50 (1992 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) [[Koji Tanigawa]] Ryuo, [[Yoshikazu Minami]] 9-dan, '''[[Michio Takahashi]] 9-dan''', Yasuharu Oyama 15th Lifetime Meijin '''Challenger: Takahashi''' (lost title match 3-4)
* Term 73 (2015 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) '''[[Hisashi Namekata]] 8-dan''', [[Akira Watanabe]] 2-crown, [[Toshiaki Kubo]] 9-dan, [[Akihito Hirose]] 8-dan '''Challenger: Namekata''' (lost title match 1-4)
* Term 76 (2018 season) - 6-man (6-4 result)<ref>Class A had 11 players this season.</ref> (from highest seed) [[Akira Inaba]] 8-dan, '''[[Yoshiharu Habu]] 3-crown''', [[Akihito Hirose]] 8-dan, [[Yasumitsu Sato]] 9-dan, Toshiaki Kubo Osho, [[Masayuki Toyoshima]] 8-dan '''Challenger: Habu''' (lost title match 2-4)

With the exception of Yoshiharu Habu Ryuo in term 61, no challenger selected via 3-man or above playoff has defeated the reigning Meijin in the title match.

=== Assignment of seed ===
The seeds in each class are assigned in order listed in the table below from top down.

* Results in the above table are sorted in descending order of victories and then in ascending order of seed for players who have the same number of victories.
* For items 6 and 8, players coming from Free Class are sorted by date of qualification for return. The earlier the date, the higher the player's seed.
* If a playoff occurs in class A, the final ranking is decided based on seed alone for players who fail to challenge the Meijin. The challenger will always become Meijin or get seed 1 next term.
* For players going absent for 2 consecutive years or more:
** If in class A or B1, the player is immediately demoted.
** If in class B2 and below, the player gets a demotion point after 2 years and is demoted after 3 years (they get a 2nd demotion point if in class C2).

=== Time control ===

* Class A: 6 hours a side (stopwatch method)
* Class B1 and below: 6 hours a side (chess clock method)

At 6 hours a side, the Ranking League has the longest time control of all qualifying and final rounds of title tournaments, even longer than all 1-day title matches. However, Ranking League games still start at 10am like other non-title match games, with a 40 minute break each for dinner and lunch. Consequently, most league games go on until late at night, and sometimes even to the day after.

From the 75th Ranking League (2016 season) onwards, games in class B2 and below were to be played with chess clock time control rather than the traditional stopwatch method. This is to accomodate for the fact that apprentice school members, who are responsible for record-keeping, sometimes have to take days off school for their job. About this change, [[Akira Watanabe]] has predicted that games "will end 1 hour earlier (on average)". The chess clock method has also been applied to class B1 since the 81st Ranking League.

Moreover, from June that year, the lunch and dinner breaks in games were also shortened from 50 to 40 minutes, with the same intention of shortening games.

If both players use their time well, they will enter byoyomi by about 11:20pm for class B1 and below and 0:30am for class A.

=== Pairings ===
All pairings for each class have been decided before the tournament, along with their turn orders, hence furigoma is not conducted before games.

Turn order in games follow the JSA's guidelines which have been published online<ref>https://www.shogi.or.jp/faq/taikyoku-kitei.html</ref>.

* Turn order for players in each class should be balanced (meaning that players in class B2 and below will play 5 games each with Sente and Gote, players in class B1 will play 6 games with each color, and players in class A will play 4-5 games as Sente). Care should be taken to keep the turn orders balanced, and no player should play with the same color for 3 rounds in a row, neither should they play with the same color for their first or last 2 games (this requirement is not mentioned on the JSA site, but on Asahi Shimbun's). These equalizations are carried out on an annual basis however, so a player in class A who played 5 games with Sente in a season may still play 5 games with Sente the next. (However, turn order in class A playoffs are decided with furigoma.)
* For classes A and B1 (round-robin),
** Players will not play their first or last game with their last opponent the season before. However, this does not have effect if the player has just demoted/promoted or they were given a bye on the last round of the previous season.
** Players will not play their first game or last 3 games with their teacher, relatives, or students of the same teacher.
* For class B2 and below (no round-robin),
** Players will not play their teacher or relatives.
** Players will not play their first game or last 3 games with students of the same teacher.
* Otherwise for class B2 and below pairing priority is as follows.
** Pairings which have not occurred for the past 3 seasons (required for classes B2 and C1)
** Pairings which have not occurred for the past 2 seasons (as much as possible)
** Pairings where a) neither player's class changed after the previous term, or b) pairings where one or both players have changed classes.
** Pairings where a) neither player's class changed after the previous term AND they have played the previous term but NOT 2 terms ago, or b) pairings where one or both players have changed classes.
** Players will not play against opponents they have met for the past 2 terms.

==== Computer and human pairing ====
All league pairings used to all be made manually, but computers have been employed for this since the late 1990s for class B1 and below.

Pairings in class A however have always been made manually with Western playing cards. Specifically, 10 cards Ace to 10 are flipped down representing 10 players in the class, and 2 cards each are picked at random to decide pairings. Turn order is also decided with playing cards, where a card is pulled at random from the deck and an experienced player marks a circle or cross depending on the card's color, making adjustments as necessary to follow the rules. At the very end another card is selected to decide which symbol represents Sente.

=== Promotion by league results ===

|}
However, if a player has already attained a dan rank equal to or higher that attained by promoting to their league class, they will not dan promote. For example, if a player ranked 7- or 8-dan in class B2 promotes for the first time to class B1, they will not move up a dan. However they will still promote to 9-dan if they win the Meijin title later.

Before the addition of victory count requirements on 1 April 1984, almost all players 5- to 8-dan were promoted via league class requirements. There still were no particular promotion requirements related to tournaments outside the league. Later on, with the addition of Ryuo-sen related promotion requirements (1987, revised 2006), title challenging/winning requirements and championship win requirements (2009), players were able to attain higher ranks, especially 7-dan, before promoting in the league. The Ryuo dan promotion requirements are especially easy to attain, and there has only been 1 player whose promotions up to 7-dan were all from league promotion: [[Seiya Kondo]]. However, there is a large number of 8-dans who promoted entirely via league. There are currently only 2 players who promoted all the way to 9-dan with only league promotion and winning the Meijin title: [[Koji Tanigawa]] and [[Tadahisa Maruyama]].

=== Free Class ===
The Free Class system was established on 1 April 1994, so players can also focus on public business and spreading shogi. Free Class players will not participate in the league or the Meijin-sen unless they meet at least 1 requirement listed below, but they can still participate in other tournaments. All Free Class players have a fixed age at which they will retire, computed based on their age and the number of years they can stay in Free Class.

Free Class players are divided into 2 categories:

* Players enrolled into Free Class
* Players voluntarily transferred to Free Class

Although both categories are referred to as "Free Class", there are many differences between them.

==== Enrollment into Free Class ====
There are 3 ways in which a player can get enrolled into Free Class.

# A player '''in class C2''' accumulates their '''3rd demotion point''' in which case they will demote to Free Class. If they are 60 or above at the time of accumulating their 3rd point, however, they will '''retire'''.
# If a player '''finishes 3rd twice in the 3-dan League''', they have the '''right to become a professional''' and enroll into Free Class.
#* There have been 7 players who became professionals via this right: [[Yusuke Ina]] (April 1998), [[Shingo Ito]] (April 2007), [[Masakazu Watanabe|Masakazu Yoshida (later Watanabe)]] (October 2008), [[Hiromu Watanabe]] (October 2012), [[Daichi Sasaki]] (April 2016), [[Yusei Koga]] (October 2020), and [[Kanta Masegi]] (April 2023).
#* A player can also choose not to exercise this right and remain in the League. If they decide to do so, they retain 1 3rd-place point and can exercise this right when becoming second runner-up later if they wish.
#** [[Amahiko Sato]] received his 2nd 3rd-place point in the first League of the 2004 season but chose not to become a professional. In the 39th 3-dan League (first of the 2006 season), Sato came in 2nd and entered class C2 instead of Free Class.
# After a '''lady professional or an amateur''' achieves a predetermined result against professionals in official tournaments and pass the entrance exam, they will become a professional and begin enrolled in Free Class.
#* There have been 4 players who became professionals via this route: [[Shoji Segawa]] (November 2005)<ref>Segawa's exam was held as a special case.</ref>, [[Kenji Imaizumi]] (April 2015)<ref>Imaizumi is the first amateur to become professional under the new fixed exam system.</ref>, [[Shogo Orita]] (April 2020), and [[Reo Koyama]] (April 2023).

However, on 1 April 1994 when the Free Class system was established, all active players who were relegated from the Ranking League were also transferred to Free Class (11 in total). These were: [[Kiyoshi Aoki]], [[Hiroharu Seto]], [[Shuichi Ikeda]], [[Ichiro Tanabe]], [[Kinji Shiihashi]], [[Masakazu Wakamatsu]], [[Toratsugu Nomoto]], [[Hiroshi Honma]], [[Hideo Yamaguchi]], [[Masayuki Moriyasu]], and [[Shodo Nakada]].

There were also 4 players who voluntarily transferred to Free Class on that day: [[Shoji Kenmochi]], [[Chimine Yamaguchi]], [[Yuji Yoda]], and [[Hiroyuki Iida]].

==== Requirements for return to the League ====
If a player enrolled in Free Class satisfies any of these requirements they will return to class C2 of the League next season with no demotion points.
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!
# Win (number of tournaments + 8) games in a season and have a winrate of 60% or above.
# Winrate in 30 consecutive games or more is 65% or above.
# Play (number of tournaments + 1) * 3 games in a season.
# Win a championship with all professionals participating, or challenge a title.
|}
There have been 11 players enrolled into Free Class who resumed participation in the League, with all of them qualifying via requirement 2. However, up until the 80th League, none of them made it to class C1 until [[Yusei Koga]] made it by finishing 3rd overall in the 81th League's class C2, promoting to 5-dan in the process. He later reached class B2 in the 82nd League.

*Longest continuous stay in class A: Yasuharu Oyama (44 continuous terms)
|Organizer=Mainichi Shimbun Asahi Shimbun Japan Shogi Association}}The '''Jun'i-sen''' (順位戦 ''Jun'isen'') or '''Ranking League''' is a tournament hosted by the newspapers Mainichi Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun in cooperation with the Japan Shogi Association, which acts as a qualifier for the Meijin-sen. The player with the best record in class A will challenge for the [[Meijin]] title.

== Summary ==
The league consists of 5 classes A, B1, B2, C1, and C2. The top finisher of class A will become Meijin challenger. Even though the Meijin themselves do not participate in the league, their years as Meijin are counted as years in class A as well when calculating career records.

Each class normally conducts a round-robin tournament from June to March of the following year, from which the seeds of next year's league are decided. Most new professionals start their career in class C2, with some starting in Free Class instead (not participating in the league). Current rules do not allow skipping classes in promotion, which means that new players have to play for at least 5 years from their debut to challenge the Meijin.

Players can be promoted by moving up classes in the league, with their game fee earnings also increasing depending on their class. Other than revenue, players in higher classes also benefit by being exempt from certain preliminary rounds in other tournaments. However, '''a player can be forced to retire immediately or after a fixed time if they lose rights to participate in the league''', a trait not seen in any other tournament.

Around the first third of March every year, all 5 games of class A's last round will be played on the same day, and most of the time the Meijin challenger and the 2 demotees will only be decided then. Due to the long duration of the games, this day is called "the shogi world's longest day", attracting attention outside of the shogi world as well. From 2014 onwards, with the exception of 2017, these games have all been played at the Fugetsuro restaurant in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. These games are analyzed live on giant boards at the JSA headquarters in Sendagaya, Tokyo, the Shogi Kaikan at Fukushima, Osaka, and the Osu Hall at Naka, Nagoya. They are also streamed live on TV and online.

From term 66, the Mainichi Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun have cooperated to host the tournament. On even-numbered terms, Asahi will be listed as the first sponsor and on odd-numbered terms the Mainichi Shimbun will be listed first.

== System ==

=== Classes and promotion/demotion ===
The system is comprised of the 5 classes A to C2, along with Free Class players who will not be playing. The player with the best result of class A gains the right to challenge the Meijin.

Each class's mechanics are described below. Classes that have empty slots (due to players retiring or passing away) will be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.

If a promotion requirement is not satisfied during the period above then '''the player must retire after they have finished all games in official tournaments'''.

|'''Can't''' '''return''' to league
|After a certain number of years (1-8) have passed the player will retire after either of the below is satisfied, whichever is faster:

* End of season where player reaches 65 years of age
* Another 15 years have passed
|}

==== Demotion points (for classes B2, C1, C2) ====

===== Requirement for accumulation =====

* Class B2: The formula for number of players receiving demotion point is (players in class / 4)<ref name=":0">Rounded down to the nearest integer.</ref>.
* Classes C1/C2: The formula for number of players receiving demotion point is (players in class / 4.5)<ref name=":0" />.

===== Requirement for removal =====

* For class C2, removal of demotion points is limited to players with 2 points only. The 1st demotion point will never be removed if the player doesn't promote/demote.
* A player can get a demotion point '''removed''' if they end the league with '''more wins than losses''' or '''finish 5-5''' '''2 years in a row.'''
* If a player meets both the requirement for accumulation and removal of points in the same season, there is no change to said player's status.
* When a player promotes or demotes, their demotion points are reset to 0.

==== Headbumping ====
When multiple players share the same result, with the exception of a tie for Meijin challenger, no playoff will be held. Instead, players will be ranked based on their seed from the start of the season to determine those who promote and those staying behind. When such an event happens, for lower-seeded players failing to promote, it is called '''headbumping''' (頭ハネ ''atamahane'')<ref>Based off the same term in Riichi mahjong.</ref>. The contrary is also true: players can remain or suffer a demotion point based on seed alone, hence a single win in class C2 can later affect one's remaining or demoting from class A.

In class A of the 27th Ranking League held in 1972 contested by 11 players, [[Rensho Nada]] 8-dan, who was on break the term before, finished 9th overall. Normally, this meant that he was among the 3 players to be demoted, but Nada was not demoted due to his 5-5 result. Regarding this, on the 4 April 1973 issue of the Asahi Shimbun, Nada has said that it "would have been a big problem if 5-5 finishers were demoted". A description of this rule was also found in the August 1958 issue of the Kindai Shogi magazine, indicating that it had been known among players for a long time. However these rules did not exist on paper and the JSA did not have these rules either. As a result, in the 76th Ranking League, where class A was also contested by 11 players, the JSA, the Mainichi Shimbun, and the Asahi Shimbun agreed that if this were to occur again, the player would still be demoted as per usual. On the JSA's website, this was demonstrated with a hypothetical playoff of 7 players who finished 5-4. If a potential demotee failed to challenge the Meijin, they would still be demoted anyway.

==== Exceptions related to promotion ====
Generally, classes B2 to C2 will have 3 promotees each (from term 79). If the number of players finishing 10-0 exceeds the amount of slots, from term 77, it has been clarified that '''all 10-0 finishers will be promoted regardless of seed'''. Before this clarification, there has been no cases of this occuring. There will be no problem if this occurs in classes C2 or C1 as the classes above them both have no fixed player count. However, if this occurs in class B2, next term's class B1 will have an excess amount of players. For example, if 4 players in class B2 finished 10-0, class B1 will play with 14 players next term, and 4 players will be demoted next term. As for classes B1 and A, since these classes play round-robin, there will never arise more than one 10-0 finisher.

==== Adjustments related to over/undercapacity classes ====
Classes A and B1 have a fixed capacity, which means that problems can arise from one of the causes below.

* Overcapacity classes
** Players returning from break.
** (only for class B1) More than 3 10-0 finishers promoting from class B2. See Exceptions related to promotion.
* Undercapacity classes
** Players retiring/passing away before the draw is conducted, leading to a deficit in their classes.
** Players retiring/passing away in the midst of a league, leading to the rest of their games being treated as a no-show win for their opponents, and the class they promote/demote to or remain in will have a deficit.
** (only for class B1) Deficit in demotees due to players on break in class A.
** (only for class B1) Players voluntarily transferring to Free Class.

At the beginning of the season, if there is a player deficit/surplus, the number of demotees will be adjusted accordingly so as to return to the normal capacity. For example, if class A has 11 players, 3 players will be demoted, and if it has 9 players, 1 player will be demoted. Class B1 will also take into account the extra/missing demotees from class A if this occurs.

==== Players on break ====
If for unavoidable reasons such as illness, a player can submit a notice of absence in the 1-year period before the next league to be excluded from all tournaments in that season. If this happens, the player will not be demoted in their first season of absence and will be assigned the lowest seed in their class when they return. This is called "overhang" (張出, ''haridashi''). If they return in class A, class B1 will play with a player deficit and class A with a surplus. However, if the player is absent for 2 years or more, they will start demoting if in class A or B1 and receiving demotion points if in class B2 and below. After they have been absent from class B2 for 3 years, they will directly demote regardless of demotion point count. However, if a player decides to go absent in the middle of a season, the rest of their games will be ruled as a default loss and they will be demoted/promoted as per usual.

If a player passes away in the middle of a season, the rest of their games will also be ruled default losses, with their opponent receiving a default win. However, the deceased player's losses will not count towards their career statistics. If a player is promoted by way of a default win against a deceased player, their date of promotion will be the scheduled game date.

=== Challenger-deciding playoff ===
If there are multiple players with equal results for the top spot in class A, a ladder-style playoff will be conducted, with the lowest ranked players at the bottom and the highest ranked player at the top.

There have been 21 playoffs held since the new system was established in term 5. Of these, 5 were held with 3 players and 4 with 4 players or more. The most players to have played in the playoff is 6 (in term 76).

===== 3-man playoff (5 terms) =====
Terms 7, 12, 44, 45, and 61 (seasons 1953, 1958, 1986, 1987, and 2003 respectively).

===== 4-man or more playoff (4 terms) =====

* Term 37 (1979 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) [[Keiji Mori]] 8-dan, '''[[Kunio Yonenaga]] Kio''', [[Yasuharu Oyama]] 15th Lifetime Meijin, [[Tatsuya Futakami]] 9-dan '''Challenger: Yonenaga''' (lost title match 2-4)
* Term 50 (1992 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) [[Koji Tanigawa]] Ryuo, [[Yoshikazu Minami]] 9-dan, '''[[Michio Takahashi]] 9-dan''', Yasuharu Oyama 15th Lifetime Meijin '''Challenger: Takahashi''' (lost title match 3-4)
* Term 73 (2015 season) - 4-man (6-3 result) (from highest seed) '''[[Hisashi Namekata]] 8-dan''', [[Akira Watanabe]] 2-crown, [[Toshiaki Kubo]] 9-dan, [[Akihito Hirose]] 8-dan '''Challenger: Namekata''' (lost title match 1-4)
* Term 76 (2018 season) - 6-man (6-4 result)<ref>Class A had 11 players this season.</ref> (from highest seed) [[Akira Inaba]] 8-dan, '''[[Yoshiharu Habu]] 3-crown''', [[Akihito Hirose]] 8-dan, [[Yasumitsu Sato]] 9-dan, Toshiaki Kubo Osho, [[Masayuki Toyoshima]] 8-dan '''Challenger: Habu''' (lost title match 2-4)

With the exception of Yoshiharu Habu Ryuo in term 61, no challenger selected via 3-man or above playoff has defeated the reigning Meijin in the title match.

=== Assignment of seed ===
The seeds in each class are assigned in order listed in the table below from top down.

* Results in the above table are sorted in descending order of victories and then in ascending order of seed for players who have the same number of victories.
* For items 6 and 8, players coming from Free Class are sorted by date of qualification for return. The earlier the date, the higher the player's seed.
* If a playoff occurs in class A, the final ranking is decided based on seed alone for players who fail to challenge the Meijin. The challenger will always become Meijin or get seed 1 next term.
* For players going absent for 2 consecutive years or more:
** If in class A or B1, the player is immediately demoted.
** If in class B2 and below, the player gets a demotion point after 2 years and is demoted after 3 years (they get a 2nd demotion point if in class C2).

=== Time control ===

* Class A: 6 hours a side (stopwatch method)
* Class B1 and below: 6 hours a side (chess clock method)

At 6 hours a side, the Ranking League has the longest time control of all qualifying and final rounds of title tournaments, even longer than all 1-day title matches. However, Ranking League games still start at 10am like other non-title match games, with a 40 minute break each for dinner and lunch. Consequently, most league games go on until late at night, and sometimes even to the day after.

From the 75th Ranking League (2016 season) onwards, games in class B2 and below were to be played with chess clock time control rather than the traditional stopwatch method. This is to accomodate for the fact that apprentice school members, who are responsible for record-keeping, sometimes have to take days off school for their job. About this change, [[Akira Watanabe]] has predicted that games "will end 1 hour earlier (on average)". The chess clock method has also been applied to class B1 since the 81st Ranking League.

Moreover, from June that year, the lunch and dinner breaks in games were also shortened from 50 to 40 minutes, with the same intention of shortening games.

If both players use their time well, they will enter byoyomi by about 11:20pm for class B1 and below and 0:30am for class A.

=== Pairings ===
All pairings for each class have been decided before the tournament, along with their turn orders, hence furigoma is not conducted before games.

Turn order in games follow the JSA's guidelines which have been published online<ref>https://www.shogi.or.jp/faq/taikyoku-kitei.html</ref>.

* Turn order for players in each class should be balanced (meaning that players in class B2 and below will play 5 games each with Sente and Gote, players in class B1 will play 6 games with each color, and players in class A will play 4-5 games as Sente). Care should be taken to keep the turn orders balanced, and no player should play with the same color for 3 rounds in a row, neither should they play with the same color for their first or last 2 games (this requirement is not mentioned on the JSA site, but on Asahi Shimbun's). These equalizations are carried out on an annual basis however, so a player in class A who played 5 games with Sente in a season may still play 5 games with Sente the next. (However, turn order in class A playoffs are decided with furigoma.)
* For classes A and B1 (round-robin),
** Players will not play their first or last game with their last opponent the season before. However, this does not have effect if the player has just demoted/promoted or they were given a bye on the last round of the previous season.
** Players will not play their first game or last 3 games with their teacher, relatives, or students of the same teacher.
* For class B2 and below (no round-robin),
** Players will not play their teacher or relatives.
** Players will not play their first game or last 3 games with students of the same teacher.
* Otherwise for class B2 and below pairing priority is as follows.
** Pairings which have not occurred for the past 3 seasons (required for classes B2 and C1)
** Pairings which have not occurred for the past 2 seasons (as much as possible)
** Pairings where a) neither player's class changed after the previous term, or b) pairings where one or both players have changed classes.
** Pairings where a) neither player's class changed after the previous term AND they have played the previous term but NOT 2 terms ago, or b) pairings where one or both players have changed classes.
** Players will not play against opponents they have met for the past 2 terms.

==== Computer and human pairing ====
All league pairings used to all be made manually, but computers have been employed for this since the late 1990s for class B1 and below.

Pairings in class A however have always been made manually with Western playing cards. Specifically, 10 cards Ace to 10 are flipped down representing 10 players in the class, and 2 cards each are picked at random to decide pairings. Turn order is also decided with playing cards, where a card is pulled at random from the deck and an experienced player marks a circle or cross depending on the card's color, making adjustments as necessary to follow the rules. At the very end another card is selected to decide which symbol represents Sente.

=== Promotion by league results ===

|-
!Requirements
|Promote to class C1
|Promote to class B2
|Promote to class B1
|Promote to class A
|Win the Meijin title
|}
However, if a player has already attained a dan rank equal to or higher that attained by promoting to their league class, they will not dan promote. For example, if a player ranked 7- or 8-dan in class B2 promotes for the first time to class B1, they will not move up a dan. However they will still promote to 9-dan if they win the Meijin title later.

Before the addition of victory count requirements on 1 April 1984, almost all players 5- to 8-dan were promoted via league class requirements. There still were no particular promotion requirements related to tournaments outside the league. Later on, with the addition of Ryuo-sen related promotion requirements (1987, revised 2006), title challenging/winning requirements and championship win requirements (2009), players were able to attain higher ranks, especially 7-dan, before promoting in the league. The Ryuo dan promotion requirements are especially easy to attain, and there has only been 1 player whose promotions up to 7-dan were all from league promotion: [[Seiya Kondo]]. However, there is a large number of 8-dans who promoted entirely via league. There are currently only 2 players who promoted all the way to 9-dan with only league promotion and winning the Meijin title: [[Koji Tanigawa]] and [[Tadahisa Maruyama]].

=== Free Class ===
The Free Class system was established on 1 April 1994, so players can also focus on public business and spreading shogi. Free Class players will not participate in the league or the Meijin-sen unless they meet at least 1 requirement listed below, but they can still participate in other tournaments. All Free Class players have a fixed age at which they will retire, computed based on their age and the number of years they can stay in Free Class.

Free Class players are divided into 2 categories:

* Players enrolled into Free Class
* Players voluntarily transferred to Free Class

Although both categories are referred to as "Free Class", there are many differences between them.

==== Enrollment into Free Class ====
There are 3 ways in which a player can get enrolled into Free Class.

# A player '''in class C2''' accumulates their '''3rd demotion point''' in which case they will demote to Free Class. If they are 60 or above at the time of accumulating their 3rd point, however, they will '''retire'''.
# If a player '''finishes 3rd twice in the 3-dan League''', they have the '''right to become a professional''' and enroll into Free Class.
#* There have been 7 players who became professionals via this right: [[Yusuke Ina]] (April 1998), [[Shingo Ito]] (April 2007), [[Masakazu Watanabe|Masakazu Yoshida (later Watanabe)]] (October 2008), [[Hiromu Watanabe]] (October 2012), [[Daichi Sasaki]] (April 2016), [[Yusei Koga]] (October 2020), and [[Kanta Masegi]] (April 2023).
#* A player can also choose not to exercise this right and remain in the League. If they decide to do so, they retain 1 3rd-place point and can exercise this right when becoming second runner-up later if they wish.
#** [[Amahiko Sato]] received his 2nd 3rd-place point in the first League of the 2004 season but chose not to become a professional. In the 39th 3-dan League (first of the 2006 season), Sato came in 2nd and entered class C2 instead of Free Class.
# After a '''lady professional or an amateur''' achieves a predetermined result against professionals in official tournaments and pass the entrance exam, they will become a professional and begin enrolled in Free Class.
#* There have been 4 players who became professionals via this route: [[Shoji Segawa]] (November 2005)<ref>Segawa's exam was held as a special case.</ref>, [[Kenji Imaizumi]] (April 2015)<ref>Imaizumi is the first amateur to become professional under the new fixed exam system.</ref>, [[Shogo Orita]] (April 2020), and [[Reo Koyama]] (April 2023).

However, on 1 April 1994 when the Free Class system was established, all active players who were relegated from the Ranking League were also transferred to Free Class (11 in total). These were: [[Kiyoshi Aoki]], [[Hiroharu Seto]], [[Shuichi Ikeda]], [[Ichiro Tanabe]], [[Kinji Shiihashi]], [[Masakazu Wakamatsu]], [[Toratsugu Nomoto]], [[Hiroshi Honma]], [[Hideo Yamaguchi]], [[Masayuki Moriyasu]], and [[Shodo Nakada]].

There were also 4 players who voluntarily transferred to Free Class on that day: [[Shoji Kenmochi]], [[Chimine Yamaguchi]], [[Yuji Yoda]], and [[Hiroyuki Iida]].

==== Requirements for return to the League ====
If a player enrolled in Free Class satisfies any of these requirements they will return to class C2 of the League next season with no demotion points.
{| class="wikitable"

# Win (number of tournaments + 8) games in a season and have a winrate of 60% or above.
# Winrate in 30 consecutive games or more is 65% or above.
# Play (number of tournaments + 1) * 3 games in a season.
# Win a championship with all professionals participating, or challenge a title.
