51 winners from preliminaries by 15,000 junior teams with 300,000 players throughout Japan assembled for the opening ceremony at Meiji Jingu stadium in Tokyo on August 12 and started the 5-day Championship on August 13.
Owing to conflicting schedules between this Championship and the 10th Asian 12U Championship, using IBAF approved Kenko World Ball (KWB-B), the Japan Rubber Baseball Association selected a competitive team from 3/11 disaster stricken Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture to represent Japan at the BFA Championship in Chengdu, China from August 17. 8 Teams from China, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Chinese Taipei, Korea, Philippines and Pakistan will participate in the tournament.
