I'm no travel ball fan, but what is wrong with guaranteed games? Who is going to send a team to Orlando to play two games and go home?

If you're going to a tournament and you're guaranteed playing 6 games, the kids are less likely to be pissed off if they lose their first two. His larger point was that if they're being guaranteed all these games, you get fewer kids who will chew off their own arms to win and more college coaches bitching about how their players are all entitled wimps and they have no leaders.
