Tournament Procedure:

Commanders and vice-commanders representing their school/academy/university must bow deeply to each other as a sign of politeness. Afterward, they must board their tanks and drive back to their starting points. The entire match will be filmed by drones from an aerial view.

Sensha-do is a team sport in which a group of girls controls a certain number of tanks, grouped together as a team, and battles the opposing team on a pre-selected field, the size and terrain of which can vary from match to match. A match is a simulated battle in which the tanks must fire at the opposing tanks without being hit in return. If a tank is hit and can no longer fight, it is considered disabled, and a white flag appears from its hull, signaling to the others that it is out of the match. The primary goal for victory depends on the type of match, of which there are only two.

Flagship Destruction: You don't have to destroy all the enemy tanks to win. You must destroy a tank with a blue flag on its hull, called a flagship. Destroying such a tank will result in a victory for one of the schools.

Deathmatch: All tanks fight to the last one standing. The main objective is to destroy all enemy tanks.

Match: The main objective of each match depends on the Sensha-Do and their judges. The projectile must destroy the tank from the outside without causing injury to the crew. If the tank is successfully destroyed, a white flag appears from the hull (or from the bottom if the tank is upside down). If the projectile ricochets, the white flag does not open.

Sensha-do is perceived more as a sport in which girls have fun and compete in a friendly atmosphere. Like most modern sports, there are leagues, tournaments, rules, teams, and spectators who watch sensha-do matches in the stands or on television. Sensha-do is a form of martial arts that uses tanks as weapons. This martial art is practiced exclusively by women, from elementary school to high school, university, and adulthood. According to the old film "Introduction to Sensha-do," the goal of

Sensha-do is to help women build self-esteem, become professional and effective citizens, and develop the qualities necessary to be good wives and mothers.

How does a white flag work?
Since shells physically cannot penetrate a tank, vehicle destruction is ensured by electronics and sensors operating in a single chain.
[Projectile impact → external grid of piezoelectric sensors on the armor → Impact force and angle of attack are measured → Internal heat spots → Virtual confirmation of penetration. Emergency shutdown/pyrocartyl pulse. Engine shutdown and turret lockout → guns. → detonation and raising of the white flag]. At the moment of impact, they record the impact force in joules, the shell's angle of impact, and the specific armor zone. Calorimetric heat sensors are also located inside the cabin. If the armor at the impact point heats up significantly, this data serves as a secondary confirmation system and is combined with external data to eliminate errors. The onboard computer instantly takes this data and compares it with historical armor penetration tables from World War II.

Shells:
In Sensha-Do, shells are made of soft metal, but their structure resembles regular shells modified for training purposes. Shells are used, both armor-piercing and high-explosive fragmentation (and other WWII-era shells), but their explosion is reduced to prevent crew dislocation.

Tank Structure:
The tank is redesigned in workshops: rivets are cut off, and the interior is lined with strong metal to prevent the internal armor from chipping and reduce the explosion risk, but at the same time, the external armor is easily deformed:
[External Armor → Internal Armor → Protective Layer].

Killing:
In addition to being destroyed by a shell, a tank is considered destroyed if: It capsizes or sinks.

Tankathlon is an unofficial martial arts form, similar to senshado, in which tanks are used as weapons. However, it lacks the rules and sanctioning of the Japan Senshado Federation (JSF), as well as the traditions and values ​​​​inherent to that sport, making it marginalized among senshado practitioners and elders. It involves two opposing teams, each with their own set of tanks, who compete in "flag battle" matches, the only known type of match. During the first Tankathlon matches, fake tanks were used.
Many school teams in senshado (traditional Indian gymnastics) choose tankathlon for various reasons, including: lack of a large arsenal, training matches, a variety of fights, and interest in this type of competition.
While some schools use their real names in tankathlon, others, more prestigious ones, train under pseudonyms to avoid compromising themselves in this unofficial sport.

Since tankathlon is not part of the Japan Sports Federation (JSF) program, the federation has its own tankathlon committee, which is responsible for determining competitors, the date and location of the competition, and any other matters related to the event. However, unlike the JSF, it does not cover the costs of repairing damage to structures or spectators, or other violations stipulated by the Senshado Competition Regulations.
At the moment, only one rule is known:
The weight of tanks must not exceed 10 tons, which limits participation in battles to light tanks and tankettes.
The lack of rules allows matches to be held unofficially anywhere, from rural areas where spectators can be in the center of the battlefield to urban areas where citizens/spectators are right at the epicenter of the action. Spectators are fully responsible for their own safety from tank shells or other debris.

Their approach to Sensha-dō resembles the Wehrmacht's "Panzerkeil" (armored wedge) tactic—used in the mid-to-late war after the Germans abandoned Guderian's encirclement-and-destruction strategy in favor of a conventional style of warfare they could not win. Consequently, the emphasis is placed on marksmanship, fire discipline, the use of heavy tanks to repel enemy counterattacks, and flawless crew coordination. These concepts are perfectly suited to the German tanks favored by practitioners of this style. Hallmarks of the Nishizumi style include impeccable discipline, precision, and synchronized fire. Tanks advance head-on, disregarding return fire; they employ stationary aiming and rely more heavily on armor than other styles do. The overall strategy centers on decisive action and the use of overwhelming force to defeat the enemy.
