Furinkazan (professional wrestling)

1

The Furinkazan (風林火山) is a professional wrestling tag team tournament held by Pro Wrestling Zero1. It was created in 2009. It was preceded by the Passion Cup Tag Tournament in 2008, which was won by Kohei Sato and Ryouji Sai. The Furinkazan was originally held in a round-robin format, with two points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The teams finishing atop the two blocks advanced to the finals to determine the winner. However, since 2012 the tournament has been held in a single-elimination format under the name Furinkazan Tag Tournament (風林火山タッグトーナメント).
