The Big League World Series was a baseball tournament for youth aged 15 to 18 years old that began in 1968.[1] On August 26, 2016, Little League International announced that it was eliminating the Big League Level of both baseball and softball, citing low participation levels over the previous 15 years.[2] It was patterned after the Little League World Series, which was named for the World Series in Major League Baseball.
