Wall Racing's Final Two Rounds Set, With a Direct First-vs-Second Showdown
The wall-racing league announced its final two-round schedule on the 6th. Round 21, on September 11 at the home venue of league-leading Tokei RC (44 points), will pit them directly against second-place Naniwa WC (41 points, three behind). The final round, Round 22, falls on September 18, with matchups to be announced separately.
Following the standings after Round 20 previously reported — Tokei RC in first with 44 points, Naniwa WC in second with 41 — the wall-racing league announced its remaining two-round schedule on the 6th. Round 21, on September 11, will be held at Tokei RC's home venue and pit the top two clubs directly against each other; depending on the result, the championship picture could shift decisively before the final round. The season-closing Round 22 falls on September 18, with the league saying matchups and venues would be announced separately in the coming days.
On 17-year-old Migiwajima Rui, who reached a personal-best ninth tier as previously reported, league officials reiterated that the monthly MVP selection is proceeding separately, with results expected around the end of the month. The student wall-racing preliminary tournament continues in parallel at venues across the city, with its next major dates to be announced separately as well. Tickets for Round 20 sold out at the league's fastest pace ever, as previously reported, and officials said they expect Round 21 to sell out quickly too, opening advance sales through the ticketing site on the evening of the 6th.
