There are debates underway regarding the implementation of women's events for sports in which there is a women's counterpart in the Olympics. Women's events have been added for Judo (since 1991) and Football (since 1997). There are plans for a 7-a-side women's rugby event, as well as a movement to change women's cycling and wrestling, which are currently exhibition events, into full tournament events. Regarding youth sections, there have been motions to place upper limits on the number of participants, due to overcrowding. Extras If a full-time company employee takes part in a tournament as a player, coach, referee, judge, official etc., they might qualify for special leave. In the case of team sports, where it comes to team selections, it has been known for champion teams to go unchanged in subsequent tournaments. That is a matter for the sports governing body in each prefecture to determine.
