Length of game A regulation game consists of six innings. If the game is halted prior to the completion of six innings, it is considered an official game if four innings have been completed (three and a half, if the home team leads); otherwise, if at least one inning has been completed, it is a suspended game.
Which teams participate in the Little World Series? In the months leading up to the Little League World Series, teams are selected to participate in district, sectional or regional tournaments, and the number of games to qualify for the tournament depends on the zone in which they play.
Regular Season At levels of play, every rostered player present at the start of a game must participate in each game for a minimum of six defensive outs and bat at least once.
For a child to be a Little Leaguer®, eligibility must first be established by way of residency inside the boundaries of a local Little League®, or the location of the school where the child attends is located inside a local league's boundaries that is approved by Little League Baseball, Incorporated.
We enter a single team in each age group: 10, 11, and 12 year olds. Teams that win the district tournament may go on to compete at sectionals. If the 12 year-old team wins the sectional tournament they will have the opportunity to compete at states and potentially the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA.
