From NJPW:

May 3 at Wrestling Dontaku, the cards were revealed for Best of the Super Jr. 30, which is set to get underway May 12, running to the final on the 28th in Ota. This year, the intense 12 date tour will be all the more grueling and gripping, as league cards up until block finals will see both blocks compete in ten singles matches per night. After Osaka sees block finals, Yoyogi on May 26 will play host to semifinals, the first time since 2014 that a semifinal format will see the top two point scorers advance. Then on May 28, the Best of the Super Jr. finals will see the 30th BOSJ crowned, and the culmination of a tournament to shake the soul!
