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 2009 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • McCool's (84-66) - League Champ 2005
  • Oklahoma (76-74) - 4th time in 2nd place; Gore Champ 2007
  • Tombstone (71-79) - First time in league history they did not win the division (4 titles)
  • Stockholm (69-81) - Faded badly at season's end.

 

Semifinals - Stockholm vs.McCool's; Tombstone vs Oklahoma

 

Finals - Stockholm vs. Tombstone.  Tombstone won the season series 4-2.
