	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.

	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.		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.

			# Win a championship with all professionals participating, or challenge a title.

	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 if ~~circles~~ ~~or crosses represent~~ Sente.		Pairings in class A however have always been made manually with Western playing cards.

			\|}
			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.
