After the first four teams were eliminated from the 2024 Little League World Series (LLWS) on Saturday, four more will head home on Sunday.
The elimination round is currently underway in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. This double-elimination tournament allows teams that lose a game in the winners bracket to still advance to the semifinals of the competition – if they avoid another loss.
On Saturday, the Metro and Mid-Atlantic regions advanced on the U.S. side of the elimination round with 6-3 and 5-0 wins, respectively. In the international round, Canada and Aruba (the winner of the Caribbean region) advanced with their respective wins of 12-5 and 8-3.

The Little League World Series is divided into two groups: the U.S. group and the international group. Each group plays its own tournaments, with the winners of each group competing in the championship.
The U.S. and international tournaments are double knockout tournaments, meaning a team must lose twice before being eliminated from the tournament.
