Ultimate Tag League

The **Ultimate Tag League** (究極のタグリーグ, *Kyūkyoku no tagurīgu*) is an annual professional wrestling round-robin tag team tournament held by DDT Pro-Wrestling. Originally known as the **DDT Tag League** and later the **KO-D Tag League**, as a spin-off of the singles tournament, the King of DDT, the tournament was created in 2000 as the **DDT Tag League**.

The winners of the tournament, assuming they do not already hold the belts, they usually become #1 contendership to the KO-D Tag Team Championship. The tournament was held under a points system, with 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss, with the top two scoring teams from two or three or four blocks of four or five advancing to the semifinals, and the winners of those matches battling in the final.
