Tournament Format
20 teams compete — 10 from the United States and 10 international. Teams are split into two separate brackets that merge for the championship game.
Each bracket uses a modified double-elimination format. A team must lose twice to be eliminated — except in the bracket championship and World Series title game, which are single elimination.
The U.S. bracket champion faces the International bracket champion in the World Series Championship Game, guaranteeing one American and one international team in the final.

International teams follow a similar tiered system across divisions including Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Europe & Africa, and the Caribbean.
