Intermediate League World Series


 * See: Intermediate League Baseball

The Intermediate League World Series is a baseball tournament for children aged 11 to 13 years old that began in 2013. It is patterned after the Little League World Series, which was named for the World Series in Major League Baseball. The tournament is held in Livermore, California.

The intermediate division is the second of four Little League divisions by development. The pitching mound is 50 feet from home plate, and the base paths are 70 feet apart. This allows for a transition between the smaller field dimensions of Little League (46/60), and the standard field dimensions of the advanced leagues (60.5/90).

Tournament format
Unlike the Little League World Series — which has twenty regions (ten in the U.S. and ten international) — the Intermediate League World Series has eleven regions, plus a host team. The regional champions are divided into Pool A (U.S.) and Pool B (International). The teams advance to the semi-finals via a modified double elimination format; the semifinal and final are single elimination. Teams that lose their first two games face off in classification games.

Pool A (U.S.) consists of five regions + the host team
 * Central
 * East
 * Host
 * Southeast
 * Southwest
 * West

Pool B (International) consists of six regions
 * Asia–Pacific
 * Australia
 * Canada
 * Europe–Africa
 * Latin America
 * Mexico / Puerto Rico
