Pool play
The top two teams in each pool move on to their respective semifinals. The winners of each will meet on
August 24 to play for the Little League World Championship. Teams marked in "green" qualified to the knockout stage, while teams marked in "red" were eliminated.Ties are broken based on records in head-to-head competition among tied teams. In the event of a three-way tie for first place, the tie is broken by calculating the ratio of runs allowed to defensive innings played for all teams involved in the tie. The team with the lowest runs-per-defensive-inning ratio is ranked first and advances. Second place is determined by the head-to-head result of the other two teams. If the three-way tie is for 2nd place, the runs-per-defensive-inning ratio rule is used. The team with the lowest run ratio advances, the other two teams are eliminated.
