The Southern Region Tournament

The longstanding tradition changed in 2001. Little League Baseball expanded the Little League World Series to a sixteen team field, and the number of U.S. entrants at the Little League World Series doubled from four to eight. Little League also formed the new Southwestern Region, which encompasses several states that previously competed in the Southern Region.

The remaining Southern Region now compete in the Southeastern Region tournament. Like the Southern Region tournaments that preceded it, the Southeast Region tournament is held in St. Petersburg. The Southeastern and Southwestern Region fields include the following states:

Southeast Region	Southwest Region
Alabama Florida Georgia North Carolina South Carolina Tennessee Virginia West Virginia	Arkansas Colorado East Texas Louisiana Mississippi New Mexico Oklahoma Texas West

The Southern Region tournament was held in only three cities over the course of its history. After a two-year stay in the Louisville suburb of St. Matthews, Kentucky, the four-team, single-elimination tournament moved to Norfolk, Virginia in 1959, and later to its current home in St. Petersburg. The tournament became a 13-team event that encompassed all Southern Region state champions in 1971. It eventually used a double-elimination and later an Olympic-style, pool-play format.
