- Tournament
At the conclusion of each Little League® regular season, every local league has the option to enter a tournament team (or teams) into any of Little League's division of play from the Major Division through Senior Division, in both baseball and softball. Any league that chooses to enter a team will pay Little League International a $200 entry fee per team. If a team advances to the section level and beyond, Little League remburses the league $1 for each mile traveled beyond a round trip of 150 miles.
