The story and setting of Saki can be described as the "Sakiverse", or Saki universe. Here, the story is set around the year 2050. In this fictional universe, the game of mahjong is treated as a sport, where even competition at the high school level receives a large amount of media coverage. | The story and setting of Saki can be described as the "Sakiverse", or Saki universe.

The Interhigh Tournament involves countless numbers of high school teams across Japan. A total of 52 high schools entered into the National Tournament, where they each had to compete for their respective spots via their regional tournaments. Each regional tournament took place within each of Japan's prefectures. Though, five had to be split due to either size or population density. Given the size and scope of this fictional universe, only a number of teams are featured in the story itself. That leaves a majority of the schools in the "unknown" category. | The Interhigh Tournament involves countless numbers of high school teams across Japan.
