          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 2023 Entrants (in order of seeding): 
          
            - Large Lenny's (95-55)
 
            - Rivendell (76-74)
 
            - Arkansas (71-79)
 
            - Gambler's (71-79)
