Attached is our state packet which includes our welcome letter to district administrators and managers. This packet is also available at 2026 Tournament Administration <https://littleleaguewash.org/state-tournaments/2026-tournament-administrati on/> - WASHINGTON STATE

From the packet, There are two time-critical items that the Manager needs to handle, which are listed in the packet:

1. Full Roster and name pronunciation, with a color team photo in JPG format suitable for printing in a possible program. We also want a photo-ready JPG image of your league logo. This is all due by EOD on Friday, July 3rd, to Russ Paul-Jones at russ@d9ump.org <mailto:russ@d9ump.org> . 2. With the tournament beginning on Saturday, July 11th, there will be a MANDATORY Manager meeting the evening before the tournament. Friday, July 10th at 6:00pm @ Finn Hill Middle School 8040 NE 132nd St Kirkland, WA 98034 At this meeting, the Managers will be required to turn in their Team Affidavit packets for a quick review and State signatures. My staff and I will review the State tournament process and rules. Official Coaches are also invited. No Players please. We look forward to seeing you at the tournament!
