“It’s going to be a busy 10 days or so of very competitive baseball,” WYBL president Will Tyson said. “It’s a fun time of year for the kids after the regular season is over and we’re hoping to advance at least one Washington team to the state tournament again this year.”

All divisions are double-elimination and the winner advances to the state tournament in Boone at the end of this month.
