The winners of each pool will advance to single elimination US and International Championship games and the winners of those games will advance to the World Championship game. Every team will play a minimum of three games: the four teams that lose their first two games will cross over and play special US vs. International games. On August 2, 2010, it was announced that instant replay would be expanded. The system, which was first used in 2008, now includes force outs, tags along the base paths, missed bases, and hit batters as plays that are subject to review. Previously, only plays in which a dead ball would have resulted were able to be reviewed. Additionally, team managers are now allowed to challenge plays if the umpires have not already called for a replay. Before losing the right to challenge, managers are allowed only one unsuccessful challenge in the first six innings of a game, as well as one unsuccessful challenge in extra innings. Challenges must be made after the play in question and before the next pitch. A "replay team" located in an office at Howard J. Lamade Stadium will judge all plays under review.https://www.espn.com/sports/news/story?id=5430469 Replay expanded for Little League WS Associated Press August 2, 2010 ESPN August 2, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100805030326/http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/news/story?id=5430469 5 August 2010 livehttp://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/May-Aug/VideoReplayToBeExpandedLLBWS10.htm Video Replay to be Expanded at Little League Baseball World Series Communications Division August 2, 2010 Little League August 2, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100808053301/http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/May-Aug/VideoReplayToBeExpandedLLBWS10.htm 8 August 2010 dead dmy-all http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/media/VideoReplay2010WS.pdf Video Replay at the Little League Baseball World Series – 2010 August 2, 2010 Little League August 2, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20110807045707/http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/media/VideoReplay2010WS.pdf August 7, 2011 dead The first challenge in LLWS history that resulted in an original ruling being overturned occurred on August 21, the second day of the tournament.https://www.espn.com/sports/llws10/news/story?id=5481830 Jacob Jones has 2 HRs, 5 RBIs August 21, 2010 ESPN August 21, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100824071514/http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/llws10/news/story?id=5481830 24 August 2010 live Prior to the championship game, instant replay had been used 16 times with 8 calls being overturned while the other 8 were upheld.
