Mickey Mantle (16 and under), Pee Wee Reese (12 and under) and Willie Mays (10 and under).  Other divisions receive liberal travel monies.  Free housing is also provided.  Meals are provided at most of the World Series.
  5. State winners in single age (Mantle 15’s, Koufax 13’s, Reese 11’s, May’s 9’s and Clemente 7's) advance directly to the World Series.  There will be no regional tournaments for these ages in 2008.
