(NOAH) THE GREEN GUIDE TO "GLOBAL JUNIOR TAG LEAGUE 2019"

ABOUT
"Global Junior Tag League" was inaugurated in 2007 to allow the junior league (weight class meaning "lightweight" and nothing to do with age) to have their own equivalent of "Global Tag League" which is for the heavyweight division.
The league was won in 2017 & 2018 by HAYATA & YO-HEY. Should this win this year, they will have beaten KENTA & Taiji Ishimori's record of two years in a row.

Each team will compete in a league table over a series of matches, and the team with the most points will face the GHC Junior Tag Team Champions. All matches are for thirty minutes. The tournament is done over a period of dates, and is done round robin style (a tournament in which each team plays in turn against every other).

Grading system
2 points for a win
1 for a time limit draw

When will the winners face the tag team champions?
It is unknown at the time of writing given Noah's current schedule as no Korakuen, Yokohama or Osaka shows are booked until Global Junior League starts on Thursday 27th June at Korakuen.

Can the GHC Junior tag team champions enter? What about any other champions?
Yes, there is nothing barring them from entry (and Minoru Tanaka, who is the GHC Junior champion has entered), although obviously the champions cannot chose their challengers. The GHC Junior Tag Champions get no special treatment and compete like the other teams.
The league is open only to the junior division.

What happens if the GHC Junior Tag Team Champions win?
Either they will face whoever came in second place after them or the two highest scoring teams will have a match to confirm the number one contender.

Is this being televised? If so, where can I watch it?
The first night of Global Junior League will be broadcast live on G+ on May 28th 2019 at 6.30pm JST.
The 9th June show (the Misawa Memorial from Korakuen Hall, Tokyo and the second to last night of Global Junior Tag League) will be broadcast by G+ on Thursday 13th at 8pm JST.

At the time of writing there are no announced plans to broadcast the final night, or any other dates. Noah have taken to announcing a few days beforehand that they will be streaming a show live on their official YouTube channel. It is impossible to predict which shows they will broadcast in advance, therefore I suggest you either subscribe to their official Twitter and\or follow their official YouTube Channel.
For those wanting to watch the show through YouTube on an XBOX or any other device than a PC\laptop\Mac etc, please type in Noah GHC in the YouTube search engine to find the official channel.

If you are outside of Japan and you want to watch the shows on ForJoyTV. Please note that while you do get a free trial, this will expire whether you use it or not after you register. If you do subscribe, then I suggest purchasing a Amazon FireStick to watch through your television. Please follow the instructions of how to install from the ForJoyTV site.
