Understanding the Tournament Format
The LLWS uses a double-elimination format. Here’s what that means in simple terms:
Think of it like this:
- Single elimination: Lose once → you’re out
- Double elimination: Lose once → you get a second chance
Lose twice → then you’re out
So Bayonne can lose one game and still stay in the tournament! They’re in the winner’s bracket for now.
