Trivia
*Starting this year, the pool play round was expanded to 16 teams.
*The Rolando Paulino team from New York City was originally the Mid-Atlantic champion, but forfeited its position in the tournament because of the use of Danny Almonte, who was an ineligible player (he was found to be 2 years too old for Little League).
Qualification
Between five and twelve teams take part in 16 regional qualification tournaments, which vary in format depending on region. In the United States, the qualification tournaments are in the same format as the Little League World Series itself: a round-robin tournament followed by an elimination round to determine the regional champion.
