The top four teams at the conclusion of round-robin play advance to the semifinal round.

Ties are broken based on records in head-to-head competition among tied teams. If a clear winner cannot be determined from head-to-head results, the tie is broken by calculating the ratio of runs allowed to defensive innings played for all teams involved in the tie. The team with the lowest runs-per-defensive-inning ratio advances.

In the event of a tie involving three or more teams, once the initial tie is broken, the remaining tied teams are again compared on head-to-head record to determine if a clear winner can be identified. If no clear winner can be identified from head-to-head results among the remaining tied teams, the runs-per-defensive-inning ratio is again used. This process is repeated until all ties have been broken.

Utah State Tournament
Host - Cedar City
At Cedar City Baseball Complex

NOTE: All Utah leagues compete in a single district tournament that serves as the state tournament. The winner advances to the Western Region Tournament in San Bernardino.

The results that appear below are the actual game results from the 2003 Utah state tournament. The top two finishers in the state tournament, Taylorsville Little League and Snow Canyon Little League, were both disqualified from the tournament after its completion.

Loser's Bracket Finals (three teams remain):
Snow Canyon d. Dixie (elim.)

Championship Series:
Snow Canyon 5, Taylorsville 2
Taylorsville 6, Snow Canyon 0 (forfeit; TITLE)

NOTE: In the championship game, Snow Canyon changed pitchers while holding a 5-3 lead in the fourth inning. Taylorsville coaches waited until the new pitcher had thrown his first pitch, and then protested that the pitcher was ineligible based on Little League Baseball's rest requirements for the international tournament. The protest was upheld, and Taylorsville was awarded a 6-0 forfeit victory.

Following the completion of the tournament, Western Region officials reviewing paperwork submitted by Taylorsville officials noted that the team had played in a non-sanctioned tournament in Kearns after forming as an all-star team. This violated a long-standing international tournament rule, and Little League officials disqualified Taylorsville from the tournament for the violation. As the state tournament runner-up, Snow Canyon was invited to replace Taylorsville as the state's representative at the region tournament.

Taylorsville supporters then pointed out that Snow Canyon had violated the same rule by competing with the same players under a different name as a club team in a non-sanctioned tournament in Heber City over the July 4 weekend. On July 30, three days before the start of the region tournament, Snow Canyon was disqualified.

Little League officials invited Dixie Little League, the state's third-place team, to compete in the region tournament. However, many of Dixie's players had departed for summer vacations, and the league declined the invitation because it could not re-form its all-star team in time for the region tournament. Because of the short timeframe, Little League officials then decided to hold the region tournament without a Utah representative.
