NOTE: This tournament was played August 25-27, 2023. Because of the timing of the tournament, it determined France's representative in the 2024 Europe-Africa Region tournament. The winning team can elect to participate in the Little League Baseball or Intermediate division tournament, with the runner-up eligible for the tournament not chosen by France's champion.
NOTE: With a densely-packed schedule of games and a limited number of available fields, France's tournament employs a strict 90-minute time limit in which games needed to be completed. As a result, many games conclude prior to a regulation six innings of play.
Tournament Results:
Format: Pool competition tournament, with teams organized into two pools for round robin play. The top two teams in each pool advance to the semifinal round, and all other teams advance to consolation games.
