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 200x Entrants (in order of seeding):
- Alphaville (87-63) - Closest competition Carlisle ever had -
losing out by only 3 games. Last year's Gore champ.
- NJ (81-69) - 2nd straight year in the Gore Cup.
- London (79-71) - Defending league champ. Out of the main
playoff round for the first time ever.
- Monrovia (78-72) - Most losses in franchise history last season
- rebounded to a 2nd place finsih.
