California District 58 Tournament

Tournament Schedule/Results:

Format: Pool play, with leagues divided into two pools for the tournament's first phase. No teams are eliminated in the first phase, which is used to seed teams for the tournament's second phase. In the tournament's second phase, teams compete in double-elimination tournaments that determine the two pool champions. The pool champions then meet in a best 2-of-3 series that determines the district champion.

All tournament participants advance to the second phase.

Ties are broken based on records in head-to-head competition among tied teams. If a clear winner cannot be determined from head-to-head results, the tie is broken by calculating the ratio of runs allowed to defensive innings played for all teams involved in the tie. The team with the lowest runs-per-defensive-inning ratio advances.

In the event of a tie involving three or more teams, once the initial tie is broken, the remaining tied teams are again compared on head-to-head record to determine if a clear winner can be identified. If no clear winner can be identified from head-to-head results among the remaining tied teams, the runs-per-defensive-inning ratio is again used. This process is repeated until all ties have been broken.
