After the first two weekends of the Superior Double A Baseball League (Béisbol Superior Doble A) Carnival of Champions, all eight teams in the field remain in contention, with no teams qualifying for the national semifinals or eliminated, the league reported Tuesday.

San Sebastián leads the standings with a 4-1 record and needs one more win to secure its direct qualification, although its worst-case scenario would be a tie, according to the tournament’s tiebreaker criteria.

Camuy faces the toughest situation, with a 1-4 record and needing two wins to stay in the playoffs. However, even if the Arenosos win both games, their qualification will depend on the results of other teams.

The format establishes that any team with five wins secures a direct qualification, while those with five losses are eliminated. The possibility of a playoff round remains open, as was the case in 2023.

The standings show San Sebastián leading with a 4-1 record. Patillas, Dorado and Salinas follow at 3-2, while Juncos, Comerío and Peñuelas are at 2-3. Camuy occupies the cellar with a 1-4 record.

The final round-robin games will be played this Friday and Saturday. If necessary, playoff games will be held on Sunday.
