2026 State Tournaments Pairings

The 2026 Tournaments Sites are determined by an approved rotation.  Host Districts have a predetermined schedule on what tournaments they will host every year.  A District may decline to which the other Districts can bid on the tournament with approval by the Members of the Arizona State Little League.

The pairings, or seedings, of the tournaments are also done at the AZSLL Annual Meeting.  They are determined by the luck of the draw with a deck of cards.  All 14 districts are drawn for every level of State Tournaments.  With a 14 team bracket, the first two districts drawn receive a "bye."  Then the pairings are drawn going down the page with each bracket.  Should a district withdraw, the order is move UP the order.  Byes are then determined with the first districts in the order receiving the byes if any should be available.  Some brackets do not have byes.  If a district chooses to have the Pool Play format, those drawn in the odd numbered order are Pool A and even numbered are in Pool B.  Should a district withdraw, the order is moved up and Pools rearranged based on the odd/even numbers.
