Format and Groups

To identify United States participants, the Jr. NBA carved out eight regions and held tournaments in those areas until qualifiers were crowned. As a result, there will be representatives from the Central, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, Northwest, South, Southeast and West, similar to the Little League World Series. 

The teams that qualified from those regions are based in specific cities. Here's a rundown of how the boys and girls pools shook out. 

U.S. Boys Division: Central (Lenexa, Kentucky); Mid-Atlantic (Upper Marlboro, Maryland); Midwest (Detroit, Michigan); Northeast (Westchester, New York); Northwest (Seattle, Washington); South (Dallas, Texas); Southeast (Atlanta, Georgia); West (Orange County, California)

U.S. Girls Division: Central (Kansas City, Missouri); Mid-Atlantic (Germantown, Maryland); Midwest (South Bend, Indiana); Northeast (Westchester, New York);  Northwest (New Castle, Washington); South (Dallas, Texas); Southeast (Columbia, South Carolina); West (Los Angeles, California)

On the international side, eight boys and eight girls teams will represent the following regions: Canada, Mexico, South America, Africa & Middle East, Europe, India, China, Asia Pacific. 

When games begin Tuesday, the U.S. and international clubs will compete in their respective pools. Once the round-robin portion of the tournament is complete, teams will be seeded Nos. 1-8 until international and United States champions are crowned Aug. 11. 

At that point, the U.S. and international title-holders will square off with world championships on the line.

Those final showdowns tip off Aug. 12.
