Senriyama Girls' High School reached the final but ended the match with the lowest score, earning it fourth place in the championship. Led by Komaki Jindai's performance, Eisui Girls' High School reached in the finals, which earned them a top 4 seed in the next Interhigh. Himematsu High School lost their seed due to this.
Cold Touka vs Megan Davin
Koromo Amae of Ryuumonbuchi High School of Nagano was named the MVP of the tournament, and set the record for the most points earned. In her first match, she knocked two schools below 0 points. In the quarterfinals, she surpassed that by busting out all three opposing teams. In the semifinals, Ryuumonbuchi played against Rinkai Girls' High School of East Tokyo and Gappo Girls' High School. In the vice-captain match, Touka Ryuumonbuchi entered her "cold" state due to the power of the opposition. Rinkai's Megan Davin was afraid of her, and decided to attack Gappo Girls' instead of Ryuumonbuchi. Davin busted out Gappo Girls', ending the match with Ryuumonbuchi still in third place. This resulted in Ryuumonbuchi being knocked out of the tournament, and they never got the oppoturnity to face Shiraitodai.

Trivia[]
- The exact format of the team tournament is unknown. If it was the same as the one used in the 71st Inter High School Mahjong Championships, then the three matches Ryuumonbuchi played are necessarily the first round, the quarterfinal, and the semifinal. But if the format was a different one with more matches, then the rounds in question could be different as well.
