    			| Second-Place ShowdownIn 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 2014 Entrants (in order of seeding): 
            Wayne (86-64)Brinkley (82-68)Robin's (77-73)Purple (73-77)   |
