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 2009 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • Hoboken (90-60) - Neck and neck with Displaced for most of the season.
  • Margaritaville (82-68) - Tough finish after leading much of the year; Gore Champ in 2005
  • Dinkytown (80-70) - Two straight years in 2nd place
  • San Francisco (70-80) - Highest division finish since 2006

 

Semifinals - San Francisco vs.Hoboken; Dinkytown vs Margaritaville

 

Finals - Margaritaville vs Hoboken; Margaritaville won season series 7-5
