This site contains information about
the current LLIWS and the history of all previous years, including statistics. The Little League® Intermediate World Series
is the most exciting of the 7 Little League World Series® to
watch. "Little League World Series®" means
one thing to most people: The Williamsport World Series, which is on TV in
late August.
The Intermediate Division consists of ages 11
to 13, but will mostly be 13 year olds. For details and statistics of all years of the LLIWS, See the Statistics page This is one of 4 Little League® Baseball World Series and 3 Little League® Girl's Softball World Series. Note that the more well known Little League® World Series is the "Majors" (up through 12 year olds) World Series held in Williamsport, PA in late August.

Time Zone: Links to go Wikipedia page.
First number is vs. UTC. 2nd number is vs. PDT (Livermore). In both
cases, it is as of the time of the games (Daylight Saving wise)
Example: Syndey, Australia is 17 hours ahead of Livermore. A 3pm game in
Livermore is 8am the following day in Sydney.
"photos" links go to my photos of the game.
Blank cells means the team did not play that day, or game is unknown if in the
future.
Light grey cells are
consolation games (team is already eliminated) or non-game days leading up to
it.
Darker grey cells indicate
the team has played its last game.
All teams play a minimum of 3 games. In some cases
the 3rd game is a "Goodwill" (consolation) game.
It is possible for a team to play all 7 days, but it has not happened yet.
Through 2023, 8 teams have played 6 of the 7 days.
No team is scheduled to play more than one game per day.
These photos can be found on the photos website under Teams. Click Here.

PA = Plate Appearances. I.E. total batters sent to the plate by the team.
* Actual Innings column: Integer Inning
(Fractional inning if not the same)
For Fractional inning:
N (no decimal): Inning ended with final out in the bottom of the inning
(Visiting team wins)
N.5: Inning ended with final out in the top of the inning (Home team wins)
N.6: No outs in the bottom of the inning when the winning run scored (Home team
wins)
N.7: 1 out in the bottom of the inning when the winning run scored (Home team
wins)
N.9: 2 out in the bottom of the inning when the winning run scored (Home
team wins)
"winning run" could be home team going up by 1 or more runs in the bottom of the
7th or later inning, or run which causes the 10 run rule (5th or 6th inning) or
15 run rule (4th inning) to take effect.
Following the "winning run", any run that scores in the play does not count
unless the ball was hit over the fence as a home run (in which case all runs
count assuming they come around and score).
Consolation Games may have a 2 hour limit.
All times are PDT (Pacific Daylight time) which is UTC-7.
ESPN+ is a subscription streaming service. Note that ESPN+ games
are archived only for a short time, but some are available on Youtube.
First Pitch Time and Last Play Time are taken from the timestamp on my
photographs, and are not official. They are extremely accurate, however.
Game length is measured from the first pitch to the last out.

Note: The US and International Championship games are single elimination,
even though one of the teams enters with 1 loss and other with 0 losses.
There is NOT an "if necessary" game if the team from the elimination bracket
wins. The winner of the Championship games goes on to the finals.
Most of the small photos on this webpage can be found here in the "short slideshow" from

2024 Umpire Jerseys: Black/Grey
For each game, there are 4 umpires on the field. A plate umpire, and one
at each base.
Prior to 2023 there were always 6, with a left and right fielder umpire added.
These photos are from the 2024 Umpire section. First three games. Click here.
See this page on the Little League® website for the Umpire selection process. Umpires are volunteers.
There is an Umpire section on the Photos site for the World Series. It is organized per game. I take photos of umpires making calls throughout the World Series. These will be posted in the normal photo galleries for each game, then just the photos showing umpires will be copied to the Umpire section. This might occur slightly later, as there are only so many hours in the day.
See below for more information on the LLIWS umpires.
Intermediate
Division Basics
Note that everything written here is my understanding of the rules, and should
be considered unofficial.
| Intermediate Division Basics The information provided here is unofficial. It has been gathered from multiple sources, including the Little League® Rule Book. |
||
|
|
Distance between bases | 70 feet. Home to first: Measured from back of
the plate (3rd base line) to the far end of the base (see diagram below). Second base: Measured from the foul lines to the MIDDLE of the base. Home to third: Measured from back of plate (1st base line) to the far end of the base. |
| Distance, Pitchers rubber to the plate | 50 feet. Measured from the front of the pitching rubber to the back (point) of the plate (see diagram below). | |
| Distance to outfield fence. | 200 feet or greater is "recommended" by the rule book, but it is almost
always much further than that unless being played by younger age groups.
13 year olds would hit far too many home runs at 200 feet. Max Baer park is 259 feet with a 10 foot high fence. |
|
| Team sizes | Typically 12 to 14 players. The
maximum is 14 players, one manager, and up to 2 coaches (The rule of only one manager and one coach if 11 or fewer players
has been eliminated starting 2023). Some
international teams will also have an interpreter. The LLIWS champions in 2019 had only 10 players. One team has had only 9 players due to injuries. Note that these were before continuous batting was adapted. The average team size for all years at the LLIWS has been 12.75 players. 12.33 for US teams, 13.24 players for International teams. |
|
| Innings played | 7. Can be as few as 4 (15 run rule) or 5 (10 run
rule). Each game in the LLIWS must have a winner, so extra innings are possible. The longest LLIWS game was 12 innings. This was in 2023. |
|
| Extra Inning Rule | Starting in the 9th inning (8th inning for Majors and below), each half
inning will start with the last player scheduled to bat that half inning
placed on 2nd base. |
|
| Age Group | 11-13 year olds. With the change in
the league age cutoff dates starting in 2018 no player will be over 13
during the World Series. Prior to 2018 there had been players who had
turned 14, but were League Age 13. In the 2024 LLIWS no player will have been born before September 1, 2010. It is open to both boys and girls. While the LLIWS has mostly boys playing, there are often 1 or 2 girls. One team in 2022 had three 11 year olds. All three played in Williamsport the next year. |
|
| Max runs per inning | No limit. | |
| Leading off, stealing | Leading off and stealing are permitted. | |
| On Deck Batter | On-deck batters are allowed. A recent rule change requires them to be in the on-deck circle closest to their dugout. Previously they had been positioned behind the batter (3rd base side for a right handed batter). | |
| Substitution & Minimum Play |
New as of 2023: Continuous batting is used, so there are no offensive substitutions and no Special Pinch Runners. There is unlimited substation for fielders. A pitcher removed from the mound may return as long as he/she has remained in the game on defense since being removed. He/she can return only once in a game. There is no minimum play requirement for defense. Note that this applies to Tournament Play and not the regular season, although it is commonly used during the regular season also. Rules for Senior Division are different. |
|
| Special Pinch Runner | This has been eliminated for 2023 due to the continuous batting order. | |
| Courtesy Runner | New for 2023. A team may permit a “courtesy runner” for the catcher and/or pitcher of record when there are two (2) outs. Utilizing continuous batting order, the courtesy runner may be in the team’s batting order and must be the player in the batting order who made the last out. | |
| Pitch count limits |
13 year olds (league age) are limited to 95 pitches. 11-12 year olds
(league age) are
limited to 85 pitches. If they reach the limit during a batter, they
may finish the batter. |
|
| 10 Run Rule and 15 Run Rule |
If a team is behind by 10 or more runs after they have batted in the 5th
inning the game is over. If a team achieves a 10 run lead in the bottom of the 5th or 6th inning, the game is over without finishing the inning. If a team achieves a 10 run lead in the top of the 5th, 6th, or 7th inning, the bottom of that inning is played and the game will end at the end of that inning if the lead is still 10 or more runs. New starting 2018: 15 run rule
(same as 10 run rule, but for a 15 run lead one inning earlier). Note
that this rule was used in 2018, but was not in the printed rule book until
2019. The rule was used twice during the 2018 LLIWS and once in the
2019 LLIWS. Note that the "8 run rule" that is new for 2023 does NOT apply to tournament
play. |
|
| Video Replay | Video Replay was added in 2022. Each team may challenge specific
calls until they have two unsuccessful challenges. In extra innings
they get one unsuccessful challenge (none carried over from before extra
innings). In 2022 this was used on average about twice per game. |
|
Max Baer 1 Specifics |
 Yes, 2nd base is positioned correctly in the diagram above. It is defined this way (to the CENTER of the bag) for all leagues of baseball, including MLB. The distance is 60, 70, 80, or 90 feet depending on division of play. |
|
| Distance from the plate to the outfield fence | About 259 feet. The signs on the outfield
fence say 255, but is is actually a little farther. It is very consistent to all areas in fair territory. |
|
| Outfield Fence Height | About 10 feet. | |
| Fence | The field is completely surrounded by a chain link fence about 10 feet high. It is much higher behind the plate (see photo below). | |
| Home/Away Dugouts | The home dugout is on the 3rd base side. This is the way all
fields are used at Granada Little League®, and how the scoreboards are set
up. The scoreboards on the majors/minors fields look backwards because
of this, with the home team on the left side of the scoreboard. The
dugouts are not ALWAYS used that way, however. Both the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics have their home dugouts on the 3rd base side. It is more common for MLB teams to have the home dugout on the 1st base side (18 of 30 teams). |
|
| Bull Pens | Bull pens are down the 1st and 3rd base lines. | |
| Field Upgrades | The Statistics per Year page shows what upgrades have been done for each year of the World Series. | |
| About the field | The field is in Max Baer Park, and is part of the
Livermore Area Recreation and Parks District (LARPD). It is used by
Granada Little League® during the
regular season. All of Granada Little League®'s
fields are at this location. Fields 1-4, used for minors and majors,
are adjacent, and are on the school district property. Max Baer 1 and
Max Baer 2 (90s field SW of MB1) are part of LARPD (Livermore Area
Recreation and Parks District).
Prior to 2013 the field was set up for 80 foot bases, and used for
"Junior 80s" play, which was for 13 year olds. It was converted to
50/70 when that new division was formed. The field had also been used
for adult softball for many years in the past. Prior to 2013 there was
a dirt infield, and the mound was a moveable platform. A photo of the
field during the first game after the grass infield was installed is
below. |
|
| Name of the Park | Max Baer Park is named for the boxer Max Baer. Born in 1909, his family moved to Livermore when he was 15. He became the Heavyweight Champion of the World in 1934. His son, Max Baer Jr. is an actor, director, and producer known mainly for playing Jethro Bodine on The Beverly Hillbillies. Max Baer Sr. also did some acting. While in Livermore, he lived in a house that is within the current park, near where the pre-school building is now, by Max Baer 2 field, on Murdell Lane. | |
| Dogs | Dogs are NOT permitted. However, there is a dog park 60 feet beyond the Left Field fence with a view of the games. | |

Intermediate World Series
Details The information provided here is unofficial. Some of it is based on past year's details. |
|
|
| Why the most exciting? | The Intermediate World Series is the most exciting
of the 7 Little League® World Series to watch. It is the first year
that the runners can lead off the bases before the pitch, requiring the
pitchers to hold them on. At 70 feet between bases, it is far easier
to steal than in the Junior or Senior World Series which have 90 feet
between bases. Stealing is FAR from automatic, however, at this level
of play. Expect to see runners picked off at 1st, and to be thrown out
stealing. The oldest players are 13, so the kids are still kids. One year can make quite a difference from the 12 year olds in the Major's World Series, however. They can hit the ball much further. |
|
| History | The Intermediate World Series started in 2013, and has always been played at Max Baer 1 field in Livermore. See "World Series stats and Information by year" for additional information. | |
| Team Accommodations | The teams stay at a hotel, and are bussed to and from the field. This includes the host team, even though in some years many of them live closer to the field than the hotel is. This provides them with the full experience. Teams may remain for the entire time, even after being eliminated. Teams are encouraged to be at the fields for other's games. | |
| Opening Ceremonies | Opening Ceremonies were held at the baseball field on
Saturday, July 27, at 4:00pm In 2022 the Opening consisted of a banquet held at the hotel. In 2023 the opening took place at Stockman's park in downtown Livermore. |
|
| Games | All games are played on Max Baer 1 field.
Four games per day from Sunday through Thursday. Friday is an off day.
Teams often do an activity on Friday. Saturday has the US and International Championship games, with the finals on Sunday. |
|
| Tournament Format | The tournament is set up very much like the Williamsport
Tournament but with 6 teams in each bracket rather than 10 (Williamsport
increased from 8 to 10 in 2022). All 4 Little League® Baseball World Series and the 12 yr old Softball World Series follow this format. The Jr and Sr. Little League® Softball World Series follow a Pool Play format. Descriptions below this point apply only to the baseball World Series with some info specific to the LLIWS. The 12 yr old Softball World Series mixes the brackets between US and International due to an unequal number of teams. The tournament is a Modified Double Elimination format. There are separate US and International brackets in all baseball world series with the same number of teams in each. Within the brackets, the tournament is double elimination up to the US and International Championship games. Those championship games will feature one team that is undefeated, and one team with one loss. A single game decides who goes on to the championship game, so it is possible for a team to be eliminated after only one loss. In the US bracket this has happened 4 of the 9 years. In 2019 it happened for the first time in the International Bracket, and happened again in 2023. The final game is the World Championship between the US and International champions, and is a single game. This is the only game in competition in which US and International teams play each other. There are two consolation games which have US vs. International teams in the LLIWS, but both teams are already eliminated prior to those games. |
|
| The Bye | Because there is a non-binary number of teams (not 2, 4, 8, 16....) a
bracket format necessitates that some teams receive a bye at some point,
which is best placed at the beginning of the tournament to provide the least
amount of advantage. With 6 US and 6 International teams, two from each will have a bye. The other 8 teams will play the four games on the first day, with the winners playing the teams with byes on the second day. The initial placement of regions on the bracket, including which teams receive a bye, is done via a random drawing held in the spring. A bye is not necessarily an advantage. It can sometimes work as a pitching availability disadvantage. 50% of teams without a bye win their first game (by definition). On the US side the first game win-loss rate of teams with a bye is 6-12, or 33%. On the International side it is 2-10, or 17% |
|
| No "If Necessary" game, and why it makes sense |
Like the Williamsport World Series, there is no "If Necessary" game at
the end of the US and International Brackets in the LLIWS. In each of those Championship games, there is one undefeated team, and one team with one loss. It often happens that this is a repeat of a prior game, where the undefeated team had beaten the team with one loss. If the team with one loss beats the undefeated team, even though both teams are 1-1, and also 1-1 against each other after the game, the team winning the bracket Championship game moves on to the World Championship game. In some tournaments, there is an "If Necessary" game if the team with one loss wins. This is done in some, but not all of the Regional Tournaments. Most do not. There are a number of very good reasons to not have an "if necessary" game in the World Series, which include extending the length of the series, uncertain game scheduling (for TV, etc.), and the fact that one of the two brackets may have to play an extra game right before the World Championship game, giving the team in the other bracket an advantage that they have not really earned. The team with one loss will have to play more games late in the tournament, which greatly affects their pitching staff availability and giving them a distinct disadvantage. When the team with one loss beats the undefeated team, it is often because they have a deeper pitching staff. In the 9 years through 2023 (18 bracket championship games): The undefeated team has won 12 times. Pitcher availability often played an important rule. The team with one loss has won 6 times. 4 of those times beating the team that they had lost to earlier. In all cases they played an additional game than the undefeated team, always the day before. They were often able to win due to sufficient pitching depth. |
|
| Minimum # of games per team | All teams will play a minimum of 3 games. Some team's 3rd game may be a
consolation game, having already been eliminated. Any team losing their first two games will play a consolation game. Some teams in the consolation games may have already played 3 games (winning Sunday, losing Monday and Tuesday). The four teams that lose on Tuesday (the first day of the elimination portion of the bracket) are the teams that play in the consolation games. The way the brackets are set up, it is POSSIBLE to have NO team lose both of their first two games, but that has never happened. The minimum number of games to win the World Series is 4 or 5, depending on whether the team has a bye in the first round (2 US and 2 International teams have a first round bye) |
|
| Maximum # of games per team | It is possible for a team to play all 7 days of
play. This would happen if a team wins on Sunday, loses their second
game on Monday, then wins through to get to the Championship game. Teams with
a Sunday bye could play a maximum of 6 games by losing their first game and
winning through to the Championship game. So far the maximum a team has played is 6 games. This has happened several times, including Asia-Pacific in 2024. Prior to 2018, International teams could play a maximum of 6 games (5 in 2013) due to one less team in that group (2 less in 2013). In 2015 one team played 6 games in a row, just barely losing the US championship game which would have had them play all 7 days. The winning team in 2016 played 6 games, after having a bye the first day. Depth of the pitching staff can become very important. Livermore Baseball played 6 games in 2018, losing their first game, then winning 4 straight to get to the World Championship game. In 2022 the West team played 6 games in a row, losing the US Championship game. No team is scheduled to play more than one game per day. Postponements or suspended games could alter this. There have been no postponed or suspended games in the Intermediate World Series so far. Rain in July/August is EXTREMELY rare, and minimal when it does happen. One game had a small amount of rain following the final game of the day. Not enough that it would have stopped the game. In 2018 we had a power outage following the US Championship due to a transformer blowing out (NOT a transformer on the pole by the field). It was still light out so most people did not notice it. 2023 saw a power outage during one of the day games. Play continued. |
|
| Video Review | Video Review was added in 2022. Each team may challenge specific calls until they have two unsuccessful challenges. In extra innings, each team gets one unsuccessful challenge. Unused challenges are not carried over into extra innings. 2022 saw roughly 2 challenges per game, with about half resulting in the call being overturned. The Championship game ended with a call being overturned, resulting in the 3rd out. | |
| Practices, batting cages, and warm-ups | The Saturday before the first games the teams
practice on the Granada Little League® fields and MB2. No practices
take place on MB1 (the World Series field). Teams were assigned
warm-up times and fields, and also batting cage times. There are 4
batting cages. Before each game each team will have a time slot in the batting cages. Each team is also permitted 10 minutes of warm-up time on the game field just prior to the game for infield and outfield practice. In 2017, the Central team did the warm-ups before their 2nd game without using any baseballs (click to see photos). |
|
| Umpires | 14 Little League® umpires from around the world will work the
World Series in 2024. 2023 had 13 umpires. 2022 had 12 umpires. 2019 had 14 umpires. 2018 had 13 umpires. All
previous years there had been 12 umpires. Starting in 2023, there are 4 umpires on the field for each game. Prior to 2023 there were 6 on the field. |
|
| Consolation Games | Two Consolation games are played. These games assure that
every team will play at least 3 games. Both games pair a US team
against an International team. These are the ONLY games other than the Championship game to have a US team play an International team. The four teams that lose on Tuesday (the first day of the elimination portion of the bracket) will play in the consolation games. These games are played under the same rules as the competition games, and have the full teams of 4 umpires participating. Consolation games may have a time limit set to avoid delays in later games. Stats in these games count in the LLIWS statistics. They are photographed the same as the other games. They are NOT broadcast on ESPN+, however. |
|
| Time between Games | It normally takes 50 to 60 minutes between games (last play
of game until the first pitch of the next game). During this time the
field is prepped, new baselines and batters boxes are chalked (by a
dedicated volunteer field crew). The next game's teams each get 10
minutes on the field for warm-ups. Before the first pitch, the umpires
and players are introduced, and the national anthems are played. It
adds up quickly. Note that the first pitch and last play time for each
game is recorded above. It
is available on the past year's pages back to 2014. These times are
taken from the time stamp on my photographs, so while "unofficial" they are
EXTREMELY accurate. It is VERY common that the 6:00pm game starts late. Up to an hour and a half late. |
|
| TV Coverage | This year all games in competition, including the World Championship game, will be broadcast on ESPN+, which is an online subscription service. The two Consolation Games will likely not be broadcast. The ESPN+ games are available for replay for a limited time (about 30 days). | |
| Closing | There are no closing ceremonies. The World Champion team will celebrate on the field immediately following the game. Teams leave the day after the championship game unless they have made other arrangements. | |
| US States Represented so far | See list by year here. 18 Total. Central: Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa; CA57: California: East: Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Deleware; Southeast: North Carolina, West Virginia, Florida, Alabama, Georgia; Southwest: Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana; West: Arizona, Hawaii, California. | |
| International Countries Represented so far | See list by year here. 13 Total. Asia Pacific: Japan, South Korea;
Europe-Africa: Czech Republic, France, Netherlands, Germany; Latin America:
Ecuador, Curacao, US Virgin Islands, Venezuela, Mexico, Puerto Rico.
Regions with only one country: Australia, Canada, Mexico, Puerto
Rico. Note, starting in 2018, Puerto Rico and Mexico alternate with their own region in the LLIWS. The other team competes for the Latin America region. In 2024 Puerto Rico has the slot. |

What to expect / Fan Guide |
||
|
|
Seating | There are bleachers for about 900 people. Attendance varies based on the game, but the Championship game has about 6650 to 10,000 people attending. Bring lawn chairs or blankets for viewing from the outfield. Outfield viewing has a casual festive atmosphere. It is where I took most of my photos from in 2013, and provides excellent viewing. The outfield area in dead center field is blocked off so that the batter and catcher have a neutral background and are not distracted. |
| Activities | Besides watching great baseball, there are other things to do. The outfield area of Max Baer 2 often has a lot of people casually watching the game, playing Frisbee, etc. There are also youth gathering on fields 1 and 2, hitting the ball around. Often players from World Series teams are joining in. | |
| Restrooms | Restrooms are located in the Snack Shack building (green cinder block building with the mural painted on it). Entrances are on the North side. | |
| Water Fountains | There are two water fountains in the park (marked on the Park Layout
image below): One on the left side of the 1st base dugout of MB1, by the bleachers. Near the pin booth. One by Max Baer 2 field, on the 3rd base side (by the preschool building). This one is much further away. |
|
| Food | There will be several food vendors plus the Granada Little League® Snack
Shack serving a variety of food. The selections vary each year. |
|
| Weather | Rain is HIGHLY UNLIKELY. Rain is very
rare in Livermore in the summer. The rainy season is in the winter.
It doesn't rain in California. In the summer. Temperature: Highs are generally in the mid 80s to high 90s, and sometimes over 100F. Lows are generally in the high 50s to low 60s. Weather in 2023 was in the mid 80s to low 90s. Beautiful Baseball weather. For the evening games, it will cool off considerably by the end of the game. A jacket is recommended for the later parts of the evening games. The umpires, especially those from colder climates, were laughing when I told them that in 2019. It was the day before the LLIWS started and was 99 degrees at the time. Several days later they were all wearing jackets at the start of the evening game. Humidity: low. It's great. OK, the humidity was up near the end of the week in 2017. Not Florida high, but higher than normal for here. The hills that surround Livermore will be golden brown. They get that way every year. Hence the "Golden State". |
|
| Photography | Photography can be done through the outfield fence with good results. I took most of my photos from there in 2013 (see photos of the 2013 finals here). There is a standard chain link fence all the way around the field, which can be a little challenging for photographing, but I had pretty good results in 2013. | |
| Official Photography | In 2024 I am once again the official photographer. My photos of every game will be available for viewing and downloading on this website. The full resolution photos may be downloaded at no charge. Prints may be purchased at my cost (what is charged by the photo sharing service I use). You may also have prints made from downloaded images at your favorite photo printing service. I am a volunteer, like so many others at this event. You are free to use my photos on social media, team websites, etc. |
|
| What you may bring |
|
|
| NOT permitted: |
|
|
| Stealing | With the 70 foot bases, stealing is easier than in 80s or 90s. However, at the higher levels of play, while common, it does not happen as often as you would think. This is the shortest base distance where stealing is permitted for baseball (technically you can steal at younger divisions, but you may not leave the base until the ball reaches the plate). | |
| Home Runs | Home runs have varied greatly. 2018 saw only 1 home run, mainly due to the new bat standard. The bat standards changed again in 2019 and there were 16 home runs. Prior to 2018 the minimum number of home runs was 5 in 2013, and the max was 22 in both 2015 and 2017. There are two dents in the yellow plastic pipe on top of the outfield fence from "almost" home runs. See photo here. | |
| Foul Balls in the stands | Foul balls will definitely go into the stands. Be alert, as you
would be at an MLB game. Foul balls do NOT have to be returned to the field. You may keep them. Never grab the fence with your fingers through if you are anywhere near the batter including down the baselines. Foul tips and foul balls travel at a very high rate at this level. |

Miles (km) from MB1 is as close as I can get it using Google Earth. It is
from their baseball fields if
known.
Note that 12,442 miles (20,023 km) is the farthest point that I can measure on
Google Earth, which is in the Indian Ocean.
The closest large body of land to the point is Madagascar. There are some
small islands somewhat closer.

Baseball Formats: Separate double elimination brackets for US and
International. US and International Championships are a single game, with
the winners in the World championship game (always US vs. International).
The Little League® Baseball World Series went to 20 teams in
2022. 10 US, 10 International.
Softball Formats: The LL Softball World Series (12 year olds) used a
modified Double Elimination format, like baseball, except that US and
International teams were mixed throughout.
For the Junior and Senior SB: There are two pools of 5 teams each. 3 US and 2
International. Each team in a pool plays all other teams. The top 4
teams of each pool are seeded and play in a single elimination tournament.
Final game is not necessarily US vs. International.
The Little League® Softball World Series will go from 10 to 12
teams, adding 2 US teams for 8 US and 4 International teams.
