NEW FROM RBI
RBI - One Day 4-Team Round Robin Tournaments
Game Count & Guarantee
Round Robin (4 Teams)
Every team plays 3 full pool games.
The top 2 play a 4th game for the championship.
No one goes home early — every team gets a solid day of baseball.
Pool + Bracket
Teams often play 2 pool games, then bracket play decides the rest.
Half the teams may be eliminated after just 2 games.
Competitive Balance
Round Robin
Each team faces every other team, so standings are based on a true comparison.
Reduces bad luck of uneven pool draws, like facing two very strong or very weak teams.
Pool + Bracket
Teams may advance or get knocked out based on pool assignment luck.
A strong team could get eliminated after one tough pool loss and a bad draw.
Scheduling & Flow
Round Robin
Predictable — each team knows they will play 3 guaranteed games before finals.
Easier for coaches and families to plan travel, meals, and pitching rotation.
Pool + Bracket
Teams may sit around waiting on bracket games, or end up eliminated early.
Families sometimes travel far and play just two games.
Experience for Players & Coaches
Round Robin
More consistent reps for pitchers, hitters, and catchers.
Great for developing younger teams since everyone gets maximum field time.
Coaches get more chances to evaluate and adjust lineups.
Pool + Bracket
High-pressure bracket play is exciting, but can cut short development time.
Saving Pitchers’ Arms
Round Robin
With guaranteed games and no surprise early eliminations, coaches can plan pitching more effectively.
Arms are used evenly across games instead of being burned in short, high-pressure brackets.
Helps reduce overuse and keeps kids healthier throughout the season.
Pool + Bracket
Bracket play can force coaches to overuse pitchers in back-to-back elimination games.
Teams sometimes run out of arms late in the day or weekend, increasing injury risk.
Bottom Line
A 4-team round robin plus championship maximizes playtime, creates a fairer competitive format, and ensures every team gets their money’s worth. It is especially attractive for one-day tournaments where families want guaranteed action without the risk of being eliminated too soon.

About Rec ball Innovations (RBI)
Who We Are
We are a new tournament organization built to cater to the "rec ball" families. We are based in Kemp for fall, and we are looking to expand into other communities. We are not in direct competition with the other tournament organizations. We consider RBI to be complementary to these other organizations. As we will graduate teams up through our system and into the true "select/travel" level.
Our Mission
To provide a fun and competitive environment for youth baseball players to highlight their skills, develop their talents, and foster a love for the game through our baseball tournaments. We aim to give everyone the same tournament experience as high-level select baseball, offering top-notch facilities, well-organized schedules, and skilled officiating. We strive to create a positive experience for all participants, coaches, and families by promoting sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect on and off the field. Our goal is to continue to grow the game of baseball and provide opportunities for players to learn and grow through the game they love while participating in our rec baseball tournaments.
The tournaments in the fall will all be open tournaments meaning any level of rec ball teams will be welcome to play.
Future Plans
Showcases
We will hold "showcase" events for individual players who feel they have worked up to a select level. These showcases will give them an opportunity to show their skills, we will invite several higher level select and travel coaches to attend these events and make offers to these players.
Our plan also includes coaching clinics and player camps.
We will hold a large Rec Ball Allstar World Series at a premier sports complex in the DFW area in 2026!
Our Expertise
Our team at RBI consists of knowledgeable and experienced baseball players and coaches who are enthusiastic about the game. Over 30 years in the game at all levels from rec league baseball to elevated level select/travel.
