SUMMARY:WBSC U-18 Women's Softball World Cup
DESCRIPTION:The WBSC U-18 Women’s Softball World Cup is coming to Dallas fo
 r the first time. Big D will host Group C\, one of three in the group stag
 e of the tournament with games being played from Aug. 29 through Sept. 2.
  at The Village Dallas.  \n  \n The U.S. has hosted World Cup games just s
 ix times in the tournament’s history that dates back 42 years. This presti
 gious event will feature six teams from the USA\, Australia\, Canada\, Ire
 land\, Mexico\, and the Philippines who have all earned their spots throug
 h continental qualification tournaments.  \n The USA comes in ranked No. 1
 . Richard Baker\, WBSC Media and Communications Director\, detailed the ne
 w tournament format: “In the past\, we would have 12 teams in one location
 \, and the event would occur every four years. Now we’ve got a four-year c
 ycle with 18 teams participating\, split into three groups of six.” \n  \n
  Dallas is the third host city in this new structure\, following Group A i
 n São Paulo\, Brazil\, and Group B in China. This group stage serves as th
 e opening round of the World Cup\, with a four-day\, 15-game round-robin.
  The top four teams will advance to the playoffs on the final day\, and th
 e top two teams from each group will move on to the Finals which will take
  place in 2025. “These three groups are part of the group stage\, the open
 ing round\,” Baker explained. “For each of those group tournaments\, two t
 eams will book a ticket to next year’s finals.”\nThe Village\n5605 Village
