This is pretty neat, and perhaps you will find it interesting outside of the Tar Heel State.
A computer rankings guru is rating all of the state's travel teams based on their scores from all organizations. Basically every tournament played in the state.
Would be cool if all states did this. Not that winning is everything, but it would educate parents and coaches about what teams are out there and their general strengths relative to the rest of the state.
Update: Computer rankings of NC's travel teams (April 15) - This Board Rocks
Excerp:
10-and-under: The biggest mover this week is the Swamp Shockers of Whiteville - from No. 19 to No. 6. They went 5-0, outscoring their opponents 67-14, in winning TopGun at North Myrtle Beach last weekend. The Shockers lead the state in victories (18) and are unbeaten vs. N.C. teams (both losses to a S.C. team). The Green Machine 03 of Stanfield remains No. 1 after winning TopGun in Concord, outscoring their opponents 52-3. They are the most dominant No. 1 team in any age division, rated to be at least five runs better than any other 10U team. (Note that a projected margin of victory between teams is the difference between their power ratings.)
