Venues

On November 6, 2013, it was announced that La Paz, Baja California Sur would be hosting the tournament. The newly renovated Arturo C. Nahl Stadium was to be the centerpiece of the tournament.[1] However, on June 10, 2014, it was announced that the event would be relocated across the Gulf of California to Mazatlán and Culiacán after La Paz was affected by Hurricane Amanda.[2] When the schedules were announced, it was revealed that some games would also be played in Los Mochis.[3] Ultimately, seven ballparks were used during the tournament.[4] The final round, consisting of the championship and third-place game, were held at Estadio Teodoro Mariscal in Mazatlán.[5]
