    			| The 2017 Benchwarmer BashFederation Championships - Ty Cobb FederationThe Benchwarmer Bash begins with Federation Championships.  
		  The 54 leagues are divided into 8 Federations (see the breakdown on the
          Leagues page).  We've 
		  got a mix of Federations with six leagues and some with seven - the league champion 
		  teams automatically advance to the Federation Championships, and we 
		  add enough wild cards to make a field of eight teams.   Teams are seeded based on their federation 
		  power index.  
		  However, in matchups between wild cards and league champs, the league 
		  champion will have home field advantage.   Seeding - Federation Championship:
