(March 2008) -- While many parts of the U.S. are still thawing out from the winter weather, 2008 international tournament play is well underway in Australia, where leagues from around the Southland are competing for that country's national championship and a berth in the Asia-Pacific Region tournament this June in Hong Kong. Australia has had a handful of chartered leagues over the years, but the Australian Baseball Federation aligned itself with Little League Baseball last fall, and nearly three dozen leagues have been chartered and are taking part in this year's tournament.

We'll be reporting results from this and other tournaments as we take you from the earliest rounds of competition all the way to the doorstep of this year's Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

While you will see periodic reports in the coming weeks from Australia and Japan, where tournament play will being in April, we haven't forgotten about last year's tournament. In the coming weeks, you will see summaries of the action from all of the states, regions, and countries in our coverage areas. We'll start with our initial summaries of last year's state tournaments in Florida, Maine, and Oregon -- click for details.
