Hello, Mr. J Andrew Lipscomb.

 Thank you for your kind advice.
 Your explanation about Tie Breaks Method is very interesting for me.

 We, Kyoto High School Shogi Federation use Tie Breaks Method, now,
by the order of  '1. Buchholz', '2.Berger', '3.Median-Buchholz',
'4.Progress'.
 The number of each league (usually 3 leagues) is about from 10 to 50,
and the number of rounds is 5 or 6.
 The arbiter is Mr. Hiroyuki Tatsutomi.

 I found the webpage of this book.
Maybe in Japan I can't get it, but by www.chess.ca I can get it, I think.
 Thank you !
