The 2012 Benchwarmer Bash
Federation Championships - Dennis Eckersley Federation
In 2009 we changed the annual Benchwarmer Bash to start off with
Federation Championships. The 32
leagues are divided into 8 Federations (see the breakdown on the
Leagues page). All
Federations currently have four leagues - and the four league champion teams
automatically advance to the Federation Championships. In 2012,
there are no wild card teams.
Teams are seeded based on their federation
power index .
