Thanks to Al Bryce of the Woodcreek Little League in Roseville, California, for his collaboration on the historical results in the Southern California section of the Unpage web site.
Thanks also to Chris Wurdemann of Mira Loma, California, for his assistance in obtaining present-day Southern California tournament results.
California was first split into Northern and Southern divisions in 1958. In all but three years since that time, both the Northern and Southern California champions have advanced to the West Region tournament, and have generally been the tournament powerhouses. California teams have won 37 region championships since 1957, and Southern California has led the way with 23 titles.
Southern California's districts are grouped into ten sections, and the winners of these sections compete for the Southland's divisional championship. The five North section winners compete for one championship series berth, and the five South section winners compete for the other. The North and South champions then meet in a best 2-of-3 championship series. In previous years, Southern California's districts were organized into four sections, and in more recent years, eight sections. The manner in which districts are aligned into sections has evolved frequently over time as the number of districts in the division increased.
The Southern California champions advance to the West Region tournament, which is held in San Bernardino, California, each August. The West Region tournament champion then advances to the Little League World Series.
California has sent more leagues (41) to the Little League World Series than any other state, and has produced five Little League World Series champions. Four of these titlists came from Southern California -- El Cajon Northern (1961), Granada Hills National (1963), and Long Beach (1992 and 1993).
