Well, we did it last night. Check out the photo on our site:

There are 4 districts in our state. At the 9-10 and 12YO levels, there are 16 teams in our district, and I'm assuming the same in the other 3. But at the 11YO level, there are a few less, as some leagues don't send 11YO teams. Our district had 13 teams at 11YO. So that's about 50-60 leagues, most likely.
We played 5 pool play games, then a Crossover, then a District Championship... and our boys won them all. Then in States, we played 5 games total, losing just one (in the first game of the title series). Our opponent last night ended up in the loser's bracket early and was forced to play 7 games in 7 nights.
So our overall record from districts through states was 11-1. I'm sure larger states must play more games, but we're still quite proud of what our boys accomplished.
