Although the Philippines won the first tournament, China achieved nine consecutive victories from the second tournament to the tenth tournament. In the 9th tournament, Japan and China lined up side by side, but due to discussions between the two sides, it was decided that no rematch would be held, and both teams were treated as winners.
