Tournament format

The tournament started in 1999, and is a true "World Series" since ten regions from around the world send in teams:

The ten teams are divided into two pools of five members each.[3] The top 4 teams from each pool then advance to the quarter-finals (Pool A 1st vs Pool B 4th, Pool B 2nd vs Pool A 3rd, etc). The winners of each quarter final face off in the semi-finals. The semi-final winners play for the championship. All matches are single-elimination games.

The losers of the quarter-final games, and the bottom team in each pool, play in friendship games. The losers of the semi-final games play each other in a consolation final. All pool play and bracket games are streamed on ESPN+. Friendship games are not streamed.
