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 2012 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • Carmel (79-71)
  • Brandon's (79-71)
  • Minneapolis (77-73)
  • Parkville (74-76)

 

Semifinals - Parkville vs Carmel; Minneapolis vs Brandon's

 

Finals - Parkville vs Minneapolis - Minneapolis won the season series 4-2

2012 Gore Cup Winner - Parkville in 5 Games
