Second-Place Showdown
In honor of the 43rd President of the United States (heh, heh, heh),
The Al Gore Cup is a forum for teams that finished second and most
likely feel that they're more deserving than all of the other
first-place teams to be in the championship bracket.
Teams are seeded 1-4 based on regular season records and play a
best-of-seven semifinal round followed by another seven game series to
crown the winner.
The winner receives a bonus of 1 million Benchwarmer Bucks.
The runner-up gets 500,000.
The 2008 Entrants (in order of seeding):
- NJ (85-65) - First time that they haven't won the division
crown.
- Motley (85-65) - League champ in 2006. 5-7 record vs. NJ
sets them as the 2nd seed.
- Bedrock (74-76) - 3rd straight 2nd-place finish behind
Tombstone. Missed by only 4 games.
- Oklahoma (74-76) - Gore Cup winner in 2007. 3-9 record
against Bedrock this year has them seeded 4th.
