It's one of the best annual traditions in all of sports.
The 78th iteration of the Little League World Series begins on Wednesday, Aug. 13, from the historic Little League International Complex in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. A quarter of games will kickstart a 12-day, 38-game spree showcasing the finest youth baseball teams across the globe.
Play will follow a double-elimination format, with 20 participating teams divided into two brackets: one for the U.S. and one for international competition. The respective winners of each bracket will meet in the championship game on Sunday, Aug. 24.
Last year, the team from Lake Mary, Florida, defeated the boys from Taoyuan, Chinese Taipei, in the championship game. A team from the U.S. has now won each of the last six tournaments.
