OVERVIEW
Each Little League® season concludes with International Tournament play for Little Leaguers® in seven divisions. The tournament trail begins in early June and leads to seven World Series tournaments in July and August. The oldest, and best-known, championship tournament is the Little League Baseball® World Series (LLBWS), held in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for players ages 10-12. The other six World Series baseball and softball tournaments are held at sites across the United States prior to the Little League Baseball World Series. It is the culmination of many weeks of local league play and provides participants with the opportunity to travel, make new friends, and engage in friendly competition on an international stage.
After two years of not being able to hold the Little League World Series tournaments in full capacity due to the coronavirus pandemic, Little League International returned all seven World Series events, and their respective Region Tournaments, with international participation and full fan and visitor opportunities in 2022.

LLBWS INTERACTIVE Bracket
The Little League Baseball World Series expanded from 16 to 20 teams in 2022, with 10 regions represented in the United States and 10 represented Internationally. Due to the tournament team expansion, Little League International needed to update, modify, and find more creative ways to present the tournament bracket. A new mobile responsive, interactive bracket was created for 2022 that includes navigation for a user to explore all games, United States or International winners and elimination brackets, the consolation game, and championship games.
The new interactive bracket was wildly successful and grew to the second highest viewed page on LittleLeague.org with 3.4 million pageviews.
The results speak for themselves as the interactive bracket saw a resounding 131% increase in pageviews from 2019, and a 56% increase from 2021.
An overview video of how the bracket works on desktop can be found below, and the live interactive bracket can be viewed here. The bracket is also mobile responsive.
The 2022 LLBWS Tournament PDF Bracket (updated after every game), experienced a 45% increase in downloads from 2021, and a 27% increase from 2019.
Mobile Responsive
The Little League Baseball World Series is a mobile responsive website. 75% of users visit LittleLeague.org from mobile devices so it is imperative that we create content that is easily consumable across all devices. Our three most popular pages 1) LLBWS Game Schedule, 2) LLBWS Bracket, and 3) LLB Region Tournaments page are created in a sticky navigation at the top of a users screen. This saves the user time from searching our navigation and quickly directs them to our most popular content.
