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):

  • Beijing 2008 (89-61 - 2-time division champion fell back a notch.
  • Jersey Sea Shore (89-61) - League champion in 2006
  • Gladstone (82-68) - Made a trip to the league finals in 2006.
  • Brisbane (74-76) - Division champ last year.

 

Semifinals - Brisbane vs. Beijing 2008; Gladstone vs. Jersey Sea Shore

 

Finals - Gladstone vs. Beijing 2008 - Teams tied 3-3 in the season series.
