Early season round-robin tournaments have become a key part of teams' non-conference schedules. They provide the opportunity to play a variety of teams at a neutral site which can boost the crucial RPI metric.
The recent success of these tournaments has led to their growth over the past few years, including the introduction of the MLB4 Tournament last year and the Round Rock Classic this year.
