The 4th KONAMI Arcade Championship saw numerous changes: the naming scheme has been changed from year to ordinal because the schedule did not end within the single year, and the competition was held on JAEPO which has been a staple since. ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom'' participated in the event, though only the highest-ranked player in the qualifier rounds was immediately declared the winner. pop'n music also introduced the one-off Ojama division, which challenged players with applied modifier/Ojama restrictions. The ''BEMANI Master'' special category was removed. The finals for the tournament would run concurrently with another tournament, [[Tenkaichi otogesai|天下一音ゲ祭]], which would run for another four years until its final installment in 2019. | The 4th KONAMI Arcade Championship saw numerous changes: the naming scheme has been changed from year to ordinal because the schedule did not end within the single year, and the competition was held on JAEPO which has been a staple since.

Like the two previous installments of KAC, the competition finals were held at JAEPO and with new changes that would come in future tournaments. This competition marked the first and only time beatmania IIDX had a Double Play event and a new format which would later become official as ARENA MODE, whereas jubeat introduced the Team format where four players formed a team to play songs in unison. The DanceDanceRevolution also accepted players from North America (Canada, Mexico, and United States) with its own qualifying division for the first time as well. BeatStream was the only active BEMANI title at the time not to participate in this event. | Like the two previous installments of KAC, the competition finals were held at JAEPO and with new changes that would come in future tournaments.

The 10th KONAMI Arcade Championship | The 10th KONAMI Arcade Championship saw many changes to its format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike other years, only players living in Japan were eligible to enter, no semi-finals were being held, and the finals were being held without an audience at the esports GINZA studio located inside KONAMI's main offices, as JAEPO 2021, its traditional venue, was cancelled. The Champion exemption was also removed as well. Guest commentators were also not physically present at the venue, instead conducted by webcam telecommunication. | ||
For the first time, games other than pop'n music | For the first time, games other than pop'n music featured Female-only divisions: beatmania IIDX, DanceDanceRevolution, and SOUND VOLTEX. However, jubeat no longer has a Team division. As is usual, two songs were introduced as qualifier songs: [[Sekai no hate ni yakusoku no gaika wo|世界の果てに約束の凱歌を]] (with each participating BEMANI game having at a different rendition of it) and [[Vamos A Bailar]] (for DANCERUSH STARDOM). Also for the first in ノスタルジア's finals, both Basic and Recital divisions were combined and competed together in a best-of-five format. | ||
The Final Round was postponed many times from their original dates on March 6th, 7th, 13th, and 14th, 2021, until the final new dates were announced on November 26th, 2021, with the competition to be held on February 11th and 12th, 2022. The livestream only showed the final round of each division, with the semifinals to be uploaded by YouTube at a later date; additionally, all the finalist's song choices were announced by the hosts rather than the finalists themselves, similar to [[BEMANI PRO LEAGUE]]. | |||
The SOUND VOLTEX Floor Original | The SOUND VOLTEX Floor Original accepted 36 entries with 14 songs awarded as merit, six Prize, six Excellence and two Highest Excellence songs: [[Silentroom]]'s [[XHRONOXAPSULE|XHRONOXAPSULΞ]] and [[MisomyL|Misoile]][[Ponchi|Punch♪]]'s [[MixxioN]], which were respectively the Female and Open category finals of the SOUND VOLTEX divisions. Other unveiled songs include ノスタルジア's [[Tenshi no tsuihou|天使の追放]] and pop'n music's [[Sekai no hate ni yakusoku no gaika wo|世界の果てに約束の凱歌を]] (original version and a new [[Sekai no hate ni yakusoku no gaika wo -Advent-|Advent rendition]] by [[Akhuta|GeMi]][[Daichi Watanabe|NioИ]], for Female and Male divisions respectively). | ||
