Building Brackets
by Rob Little 09 Jun '26

09 Jun '26

Since many of us will be building brackets over the next several weeks, I wanted let folks know that I've built an add-in for Excel to help build and format brackets that match LL double elimination brackets. If you want to use it, just click on Add Ins in Excel and then search for "Bracket Builder". Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out (using bracket builder or any other way I can help with your brackets). --rob (trying to be a helpful state website guy)

Tournament brackets & Packets
by WA District 3 Little League 14 Jun '25

14 Jun '25

I have talked to many of you this week, and I made an incorrect statement. I said the packets were due by June 1. This isn't true. - Our By-laws call for all state tournament brackets to be sent to West Region by June 1. - Our by-laws require all state packets to be out by June 15. I believe last year there were only two state packets actually out by June 15 - 3 & 5 - and the rest trickled in for as much as 10 days later. Please try to get these out by the deadline. Teams and parents depend on these to set time off and travel plans. - We have talked about having more streamlined packets. We will cover the rules at our manager's meeting, so there is no need to include rules information that they will not read, anyway. I am sorry for those that I sent into a panic (including the host league for the intermediate state tournament that I have pressed for information by Sunday) about the packet deadline. June 15 is so much more reasonable. Thank you, glen

Random question that has gotten brought up by a couple of my presidents within my district. So my question is does your district have bylaws for the district and if you do are you willing to share them?

Count of Districts sending Teams to State Tournaments
by Brian Marantz 30 May '25

30 May '25

Hi, I'm not sure how this has been handled in the past, but how about a single shared file that everyone can update to list if their District will be sending a team at specific levels to each State Tournament? I have created a simple chart and shared it on my shared Google Drive. Everyone has EDIT access to it (provided you have a Google account). And if you can't edit it, just send me your info and I'll be happy to include add it. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-7KXatOS_2q-rwYAmQuTvmbKaorstIMp/ed… If there is a different method of determining this information, please advise.

26 May '25

I would like to get my bracket done for intermediate state by the end of next week. Last year everyone except districts 5, 11 and 13 participated. If you are one of those three and plan to enter this year, please let me know. If you entered last year and don't plan to enter this year, please let me know. If you are one of the 10 from last year and plan to enter this year, I don't need a response. Thank you, glen

District websites

17 May '25

Hey, I am curious on if your district uses a website versus Facebook for all your communications or if you use a website who do you use for your website? District 6 website desperately needs to be revamped so trying to think of the easiest way to do that. Thank you for any inside. You guys have on us.
