The creation of the German Shogi League (DSL) by Shogi Deutschland is a significant development in the german shogi landscape.

Teams consist of three to five players, with three players set up for each round.

Competition took place in a round-robin format, with each team facing every other team once

Düsseldorf came on top of the table with an unbeaten record. Heidelberg were in second place and Hamburg in third.
