Club Rankings: the 2021 Post-Summer Extra Elite 100 18U Ratings 1-100!

Keagan Rothrock helped Lady Dukes – Lamar take Top 3 in a trio of the Summer’s most prestigious events.

With the 2021 Summer travel ball season wrapped up, we present the 2021 Post-Summer Extra Elite 100 Club Team Rankings.

Today, we conclude the three-part series which went 100 teams deep each day:

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 win in a tourney.

A team that plays in three events deemed elite events (list above) will get more points than one, assuming finishes are similar. Not factored in: pool games, events NOT in the list above and game-to-game match-ups.

Tampa Mustangs – TJ, winners of the Atlanta Legacy Invitational at 18U (Sunday, July 11, 2021).
