Another amazing episode this week. Chihaya was just great.

I wonder how the hair thing is going to turn out...

Hmm, I wonder if anyone more familiar with professional karuta could clarify how these qualifiers work exactly? You've got the Eastern and Western subdivisions, but it's not just the Eastern finalist versus the Western finalist, is it? How high into the tournament do they get before the two divisions join together?

Also, we understand of course that the Queen/Meijin challenger matches are divided by gender. Even so, would I be right in assuming this qualifier tournament still follows the standard tournament structure? As in, males and females continue competing against each other all the way through to the finals--the rights to challenge accordingly going to the highest ranked player of the appropriate gender?
