    The basic schedule is out:

    http://www.jfa.or.jp/match/topics/2010/60/001.pdf

    Interestingly (or not?), it seems like many regional minor clubs are set to play the top dogs in their area.

    For example, Nara and Kyoto prefecture's winners will play to get the "honor" to face Kyoto Sanga, and I see quite a few cases like this...

    One interesting game could be Gamba Osaka-SC Tochigi, if the latter beats FC Gifu in game #1.

    The University team, if surviving the round against East Tokyo's champions, will play FCT at Ajinomoto.

    interesting comments:

    リーグ戦スケジュールなどの関係もあり、1回戦の9月3日と2回戦の9月5日の間が中2日しかない、非常にタイトなスケジュールとなりました。極力1回戦と2回戦の試合会場を近付けましたが、それでもはやり厳しい日程となっています。Ｊ１・Ｊ２のクラブは2回戦からの出場です。
    各都道府県によって異なりますが、3月ごろから予選をしており、合計約6,000チームが参加しています。8月29日に全88チームが出揃います。また、Jリーグクラブの出場枠は昨年よりも1チーム多く、JFLの出場クラブが１つ減少して、去年の4チームから今年は3チームとなりました。
    現時点で4回戦以降の試合会場が決定していないのは、3回戦が終了した時点で、集客の面から会場を決定するためです。前回大会から、勝ち進んでいるクラブによって会場を決めたところ、観客動員数が前年と比べ約6万人も増加して、合計36万人となりました。今年も一人でも多くのお客様に足を運んでいただき、昨年以上に盛り上げていくためにこの形式にしました。

    Basically since due to the hectic calendar (WC main culprit?) the first two rounds are played on September 3rd and 5th, it just makes sense for the first games to be played as close as possible to the venue where the second game will be played...

    Thus you have the prefectural champions playing close (or in) to their prefecture J.League club's stadium, whenever possible, I guess.

    Looks like Sendai would (likely) have to go through Cerezo, Kashima, and Nagoya if other results go according to form. Some pretty tough games for them...

    In any case, the Emperor's Cup is one of the last things on my mind right now... I'm pessimistic for all things Vegalta these days; staying up is the paramount priority for now...

    Only two weeks left! I can't wait.


    Tickets to the games are so cheap, too. I wish I could go.

    I think I'll go on 9/3 and 9/5 in Kyoto.
    I am wondering who are the Kyoto and Nara representatives, and if they will be good enough to beat Sanga, or if they will leave the job to JEF United :)

    I can't imagine the Saitama or Tochigi representatives will be much trouble for Urawa, even considering the recent terrible form.

    I mean, it's not like Matsumoto is in that section now...

    Furtho, do you happen to know who is in the final for Nara and Kyoto prefectures?

    The winners will play their game at Nishikyogoku on 9/7, I might actually go.

    Thanks a lot.
    If I go watch any of the games, I'll write a short report.

    By looking at the names, Sagawa and Doshisha seem the favorite. In a way it will be good if Doshisha makes it, because universities always have a good support.

    I can't even find the information on the Saitama FA website for the Urawa/Omiya brackets... I found a few PDF files regarding the competition, but it just said which prefectures were competing, not the actual representatives.

    The football style in Kyoto might be backwards, but at least the passion is there!

    At the youth level, up to University is very good. Unfortunately it doesn't move up to the professional level. Until Kyocera will keep putting in charge of Sanga salarymen who don't know much about soccer, at J.League level Kyoto will always be a joke. :(

    The prefectural finals are in the main this coming weekend, apart from those mentioned a few posts upthread; hence the actual representatives are mostly undecided as yet.

    In Kyoto, Sagawa won 15-0, Doshisha Uni a somehow lucky 1-0.
    Final is on Saturday.

    WOW!! Tokyo Verdy Youth!!!

    BTW, Sagawa Printing looked better than Sanga under Kato. If they beat Nara on Friday, as I expect them to, we'll have a good game on Sunday, especially if Sanga gets in it with the usual arrogance they have in the Emperor's Cup (lost deservedly at home to Meiji and Kofu in recent years...)

    It looks as most of JFL made it, and also quite a few Universities.
    The most exciting team, still, seems to me Tokyo Verdy Youth.
    I also love the name Dezzolla Shimane, whatever it means.
