With the 2021 Summer travel ball season wrapped up, it’s time to reveal our 2021 Post-Summer Extra Elite 100 Club Team Rankings.
Yesterday, we kicked off the first of a three-part series going 100 teams deep each day per this schedule:
- Monday, August 16, 2021: 14U
- Tuesday, August 17, 2021: 16U
- Wednesday, August 18, 2021: 18U
We’ve worked with a panel of coaches and event producers to come up with an “RPI Index” ranking that factors in several comparables— the first is performances of teams in top national tournaments.
The ones used are the following:
- PGF Premier National Championship
- Independence Day Tournament
- Alliance National Championship
- Top Gun Invitational (Maverick)
- Top Club Invitational
- DeMarini Invite
- Atlanta Legacy
- Fireworks
- AZ Winter Invite
- TCS Nationals
- World Fastpitch Championships
- Scenic City
- USA JO Cup
The RPI Index, which calculates the overall ranking, also uses the following information:
- the round in bracket play in which the team was last played
- average run differentials
- win percentage (for each event)
- average bracket games played
- plus, a bonus for Top 3 finishes
Note that ALL of these factors give credit to each team for the entire summer season’s body of work, not just one big win or one top finish in a tourney.
The more participation in one of the top Nationals, championships, invitationals above that teams play in, the more they are rewarded in the RPI Ranking.
