Membership to the JPML requires players to participate in the seasonal leagues (barring a few rare exceptions). Participants work their way up the ladder's different steps working their way from the bottom (E-league) to as high as they can perform, the summit being the A1 League. The title match is called the Hōōsen {{kana|鳳凰戦}}. With the current 12 steps of progression, it would require a new professional member a minimum of 7 years, as well as significant skill and luck to make it to the top.
