The regional tournament uses a modified double-elimination bracket, meaning all four teams are guaranteed at least two games. The magic number is three wins for teams to reach Williamsport.
All four teams play on Saturday, Aug. 8. The winners of the first two games advance to the winner's bracket semifinal to play for a spot in the title game.
The loser of Saturday's games play the following day in a win-or-go-home game. From there, the victor moves on to the second semifinal to play the loser of the winner's semifinal. That winner claims the second spot in the regional championship
