Eight teams will punch tickets for the 2017 American Legion World Series in Shelby, N.C.
From a field of over 3,600 teams, the top 64 have emerged in the quest to earn a trip to the 2017 American Legion World Series in Shelby, N.C., Aug. 10-15.
The 50 state champions earn automatic bids into the field, as do the eight regional tournament hosts. Among states without the privilege of hosting a regional, the runners-up from the six departments with the most registered teams round out the field.
Matchups, brackets, site information and more are available on the regional tournament hub, located at americanlegion.sportngin.com. Live stats are expected to be provided for all eight regions.
The field is guaranteed to produce a new champion for 2017, as last year’s winner Texarkana, Ark., fell in the Arkansas state tournament. Regionals begin Aug. 2.
