All chartered Little League programs must complete the Confirmation of Regulation Compliance form or the Tournament Enrollment Application on the Little League Data Center, even if the league decides not to enter any teams in any of the tournaments. This is completed either through the Tournament Enrollment Application process or the Confirm Background Check Compliance process on the Little League Data Center. Failure to confirm background check compliance will result in the league's charter status being placed on non-compliance hold for the 2022 season.

The Tournament Enrollment Application defines which divisions are eligible to enter the International Tournament from your league or district, based on the information provided during the chartering process. If you are enrolling teams in tournament play, simply enter how many teams will be participating in each level of play. The tournament entry fee of $200 per team may be paid online upon completion of the Tournament Enrollment Application. All money collected though tournament entry fees go directly to support local Little League programs advancing through the International Tournament.
