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):

  • Edgewater (84-66) - New ownership brought a 14-win improvement in 2008.
  • Mudville (82-68) - Division and conference winner last season.
  • Heartland (81-69) - New owner missed out on 1st place by 1 game - highest franchise finish ever.
  • Sydney (69-81) - Gore Cup champ in 2007.

 

Semifinals - Sydney vs. Edgewater; Heartland vs. Mudville

 

Finals - Heartland vs. Edgewater - Edgewater won the season series 4-2
