LLWS.....need to score runs to win?

Question

I'm watching the LLWS....I have a serious problem with the scoring scenario..Hagerstown must score a certain amount of runs to advance? Winning the game is not good enough?

Answer 1

im not sure exactly which game your talking about, but my guess is that if they win the game, they will have the same record as someone in the same half of the U.S bracket as them. If they have the same record, the tiebreaker between who advances is the team that scored the most runs.

ive played tournament ball for 8 years, played in the LLWS in 05, so im pretty sure this is the reason for them needing to score a certain amount of runs

Answer 2

If they win then their will be a three way tie for the two advancing spots and the runs is the tie breaker to let them advance.

Answer 3

they have to win and they have to score 12 runs to advance
