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):

Hoboken (85-65) - Last season's Martin Conference champion
Dinkytown (84-64) - Late season push and tiebreaker put them here over Lake Wobegon
Kansas City (79-71) - Highest finish ever for the franchise
Los Anaheim (72-78) - Last year's Lennon Division champion slipped back a bit.

Semifinals - Los Anaheim vs. Hoboken; Kansas City vs. Dinkytown

Finals - Los Anaheim vs. Dinkytown - Dinkytown won the season series 8-4
