    			| The 2011 Benchwarmer BashFederation Championships - Rogers Hornsby FederationIn 2009 we changed the annual Benchwarmer Bash to start off with 
          Federation Championships.  The 26 
          leagues are divided into 8 Federations (see the breakdown on the
          Leagues page).  Half 
          of the 
          Federations currently have four leagues - and four teams advance to the Federation 
          Championships.  The league champions automatically qualify, plus 
          the non-championship teams with the highest
          power index values 
          within the federation becomes a wild card in Federations where there 
          are only three leagues.   Teams are seeded based on their federation power index.  However, 
          wild card teams are seeded at the bottom in all rounds.   Seeding - Federation Championship:
