<p>Wednesday's Little League World Series scores</p>
<p>• Venezuela 5, Puerto Rico 0</p>
<p>• Mountain vs. Great Lakes at 3 p.m. ET (Result: TBD)</p>
<p>• Panama vs. Australia at 5 p.m. ET (Result: TBD)</p>

<p>Little League World Series format</p>
<p>In case you needed a refresher, the 2025 Little League World Series will feature a total of 20 teams — 10 from the United States and 10 International clubs. Those teams will compete in a modified double-elimination tournament. Play begins Aug. 13, with the winners advancing and remaining in the winners portion of the bracket.</p>
<p>Starting Aug. 16, the teams that lost their first games will face off to determine which teams remain in the event. Once a team loses twice, it is eliminated.</p>
<p>But that changes once the championships begin. The U.S. championship game and international championship game will be held Saturday, Aug. 23, and will both be single-elimination games. That creates a scenario where a team could be eliminated from the event with just one loss.</p>
<p>The same thing will hold true for the LLBWS championship game. It's a single-elimination contest.</p>
<p>Games will last six innings. If a game is tied after six innings, both teams will play the seventh inning as normal, with no runners on base. But if the game extends past the seventh inning, a runner will open each inning on second base.</p>
<p>Thursday's Little League World Series schedule</p>
<p>Here's how the action shapes up for Thursday.</p>
<p>• Europe-Africa vs. Japan at 1 p.m. ET</p>
<p>• New England vs. Southwest at 3 p.m. ET</p>
<p>• Asia-Pacific vs. Mexico at 5 p.m. ET</p>
<p>• Midwest vs. Mid Atlantic at 7 p.m. ET</p>
