Good luck!

The Little League Series is where it's at. The US has won the most, with Taiwan 2nd with 18 and Japan 3rd with 11. Those kids hustle. They play joyfully and, yes, the losers often cry (even the US teams). It's loads of fun. I only wish they had a stadium built to scale for them to play in. It is the World Series, after all.

The US won 39, I forgot to put in.

As much as I like seeing the U.S. win, it's not cool to ensure that an American team is in the final game every year. They need to throw all the names in a hat and have them play it out. If both finals teams are not American ones, so be it.

China probably won't even have a team in Los Angeles. Poor countries can't afford it.

The stadium in Williamsport is built to scale for them

@Mocheake Seems as if you don’t have a clue of how this tournament is structured. First of all these teams as I know playing and played in the little League World Series for Jackie Robinson West you have to win your district or sectionals where you live. Then you have to win your state from there you have to win your region. That’s a lot of games being played if everyone played they would miss a considerable amount of school. The match ups are based on regions In the US there is about 53 entrants and 10 regional tournaments two from Texas and two from California and 48 from from the remaining states my home team just lost to the team from Hawaii. With that said there’s eight international divisions. Getting to the LLWS there’s twenty teams 10 from the US and 10 from other countries. The US and international teams play in SEPARATE BRACKETS in a double elimination format the winners of each bracket then play each other for the LLWS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. This is the reason why you see a US TEAM playing an international team who has to win the international bracket. Throwing everyone in a hat doesn’t make sense too many games the format is great the way it is. I go every year to the regionals because the stadium is near my home it’s great to see these kids having fun. Before you throw shade please understand what you are talking about.

As much as I like seeing the U.S. win, it's not cool to ensure that an American team is in the final game every year. They need to throw all the names in a hat and have them play it out. If both finals teams are not American ones, so be it.
