Curacao? No offense, but I think we can put together a team in Cotui alone that will beat these kids.

What makes you say the best teams don't participate. It's a tournament that starts at city level and escalates.

Your second statement about a team from Cotui might be a stretch, but I wouldn't bet against them either.

In the US it works that way. I may be wrong, but I've never seen or heard of all these local teams competing to be the Champion of The DR to then go to the Little League "World Series".

Ricardo: I accept the duel, as long as we fight with Platanos instead of guns.

I have not heard of Dominican participation on a country wide basis either. I assume that many teams that play are not involved with Little League. I have seen many teams in uniform throughout the country.
Years ago, the DR had a team that was disqualified because the pitcher (Almonte) was 14. The age limit is 12.
Having coached Little League in the US for many years I think the kids here are better off without Little League. They learn more and are amazingly talented. Little League doesn't pay much attention to smaller countries.
My money is on the Dominican team.

Stop with the Danny Almonte thing. This was NOT a Dominican team, but a US team from the Bronx which happened to have a Dominican (Danny Almonte) playing in it. I have never seen a Dominican team participate in the little league "world series".

...and I still believe we can put together a team in Cotui which can kick Curacao's behind...
