This year for the first time the J.League have instituted a new season
finale: the J.League Champions Cup, aka the Suntory Cup. The Suntory
Cup pits the numbers 1 and 2 of the J.League against the finalists of
the J.League Cup (Nabisco Cup), but it must be said that the title is
purely honorary: the true champions will be the team that won the
J.League, Kashima Antlers, no matter what happens in the Champions Cup.
The reason why this competition was instituted is probably that with
the single-season format that was adopted this year, there is no
longer a Championship Series and they wanted a final game anyway.
The semifinals were played on Wednesday 13 November 1996, right after
the end of the regular competition.

The 1996 J.League Champions Final (Suntory Cup) was played on
Wednesday 20 November 1996 at the National Stadium in Tokyo. The
regular league numbers 1 and 2, Kashima Antlers and Nagoya Grampus
Eight, faced each other for the title after defeating the numbers
2 and 1 respectively of the J.League Cup aka Nabisco Cup (Verdy
Kawasaki and Shimizu S-Pulse) a week earlier. I said in my report of
the semifinals that the title was purely honorary, but this is not
quite so: apart from the fact that the money was good (50 million yen,
roughly half a million dollars), the winner of this Cup will get to
participate in the Sanwa Bank Cup next year before the start of the
season. The Sanwa Bank Cup always pits the winner of the J.League
season finals (normally the J.League champion) against a champion from
some other part of the world -- last year the Marinos faced FC
Goeteborg from Sweden. Next year's opponent will be the United States'
Major League Soccer's inaugural champions, Washington DC United.
But the official J.League champion of 1996 will be the Kashima Antlers
no matter what, and it's the Antlers who will be playing in the Asian
Champions' Cup next season.

Nabisco Cup (or League Cup) 1996
================================
The J.League Cup, also known as the Nabisco Cup, started play on
1 June and will see the final on 25 September, which is in the middle
of the second half of the regular J.League competition.
The J.League Cup is being played for the fourth time this year: the
first time was in 1992 (that was the first J.League event, even before
the inaugural competition), it was also played in '93 and '94, but in
1995 it was skipped because of the packed schedule of the J.League's
regular competition. The first three editions were all won by Verdy
Kawasaki. Note that the J.League Cup is not Japan's official Cup
Competition: it is the winner of the Emperor's Cup, played
traditionally in December, who gets to participate in the Asian Cup
Winners' Cup.
The format of the J.League Cup seems to change every year: this year
the participants are only the regular J.League teams (in previous
years the associate members (in the JFL) also got to participate but
there was apparently no room in their schedule this time). The
familiar 16 teams are divided in two groups, and get to play each
other in a home-and-away format. The interesting thing is that the
home and away games follow each other directly: so for instance on the
first day (Saturday 1 June) the Yokohama Marinos hosted Gamba Osaka,
and on the second day (the following Wednesday, 5 June) Gamba hosted
the Marinos. The assignment of points is also interesting: only the
results over each two-match series count. If the series ends in a
draw (both games ended in draws, or both teams won once and scored the
same number of goals) then both teams get 1 point. In all other cases,
the team that scored the most goals is declared the winner and gets 3
points. The away goals rule is not applied, so a 1-0 home win followed
by a 1-2 away defeat counts as a draw. Obviously there is no "V-goal"
(sudden-death) overtime, games end after 90 minutes and a draw is a
draw.
