Since the International Olympic Committee has suspended the National Olympic Committee of Guatemala, Guatemalan athletes cannot represent their country or compete under its flag and name at international sports events. In respect of the athletes’ right to participate, they will compete at the WBSC Americas U-15 Baseball World Cup Qualifier under the WBSC flag.

At the end of the opening round, the first-place finishers of each group will compete for the title. The second-place finishers will play for bronze. The No. 3 seeds will play for the fifth and final spot in the WBSC U-15 Baseball World Cup 2024.
