These cities, Davenport and Bettendorf (in Iowa) and Rock Island and Moline (in Illinois), form the Quad Cities Metropolitan Area. The Quad Cities area is midway between Chicago and Des Moines, east and west, and Minneapolis and St. Louis, north and south, right along Interstate 80. The convenient and central location of the Quad Cities makes it a desirable location for teams from across the Midwest for a weekend getaway of baseball! The Quad Cities is home to several great ballparks, including Modern Woodmen Park. Modern Woodmen Park is home to the Quad Cities River Bandits; the Class A affiliate of the Houston Astros. Modern Woodmen Park is located on the banks of the Mississippi River, in the shadow of the Centennial Bridge, often times Home Run balls land in the river! In 2013 Modern Woodmen Park was named the #1 Minor League Ball Park in the United States by USA Today. The Quad Cities is also the home of the John Deere and several casinos.

BRACKET BUSTER April 15-17 Rock Island, IL April Bracket Buster 9u-14u AA and Open May 6-7 Rock Island & East Moline Mother s Day Bracket Buster 9u-14u AA July 8-10 Rock Island, IL July Bracket Buster 8u Coach Pitch, 9u-14u AA Only WHAT IS A BRACKET BUSTER TOURNAMENT? A Bracket Buster tournament is a new format that JP Sports is introducing to baseball tournaments. To start all teams will be bracketed into a double elimination bracket. If your team goes 0-2, you will play a consolation game against another team that was eliminated from the double elimination bracket. This tournament format is designed to make EVERY tournament game meaningful. As the tournament advances teams will play teams that have similar records to theirs, which should result in more competitive games each round. This new format will allow teams that lose one game early in the bracket to still have a chance to battle back and be Champions!
