Following the devastation of Typhoon Gaemi throughout the Philippines, and the impact on local travel and infrastructure, the Senior League Softball Asia-Pacific Region Champions from Negros Occidental LL (Bacolod City) faced significant travel difficulties and unfortunately was not able to arrive in Lower Sussex, Delaware in time to participate in the tournament. They are our 2024 Asia-Pacific Region Champions, and we will continue to celebrate their achievements on and off the field, and we are grateful for our volunteers and friends in the Philippines who have helped us navigate this situation. The Asia-Pacific Region will be removed from their respective pools. The tournaments, which follow a pool play format, will proceed, otherwise, as outlined at LittleLeague.org/WorldSeries, with all games from the tournament being broadcast on ESPN+.
