The Little League World Series follows a double-elimination format, so when a team in the winning bracket loses, they have a chance for redemption in the consolation bracket.
However, once teams reach the international championship and the United States championship, there’s no redemption. It becomes single-elimination, and whichever teams win will go on to face off in the World Series championship.
In addition to the 30 Little League Baseball World Series games, the Challenger Exhibition Game will take place on the morning of August 24.
All games in the 73rd annual tournament will be televised by ESPN Family of Networks or ABC—with the international and American finals, as well as the championship game, all being broadcasted by ABC.
A new little league team will be crowned in the coming weeks. Who do you think it will be?
